They bonded with the animals and really felt a sense of accomplishment in taking care of them. She said the changes she saw in the kids were amazing! They came out a few times a week and were responsible for taking care of the horses. She participated in a program where she worked with youthful offenders. I know a lady that used to have a horse farm. Taking care of another living thing can definitely have a rehabilitative affect. September 22, - I think your idea about the animals is really good one. I have been to visit a friend in jail and if they can treat the families and friends of the inmates like second class citizens, what does that tell you about how they treat those inmates? Again, not all inmates are hardcore. I have no doubt that a lot of the guards who work in those jail have a dismissive and blatant disregard for the inmates. Those inmates who show interest in doing something while incarcerated, other than sleeping and watching tv should be given the opportunity to read, work on crossword puzzles and even Sudoku. Not all people who end up in jail are hardcore criminals lacking in productivity. Anyway, you've got to walk the path you're on. Perhaps I can help people with English or math or something else while I am in there. I'd rather stamp license plates, pickup trash or transmute the time to community service, rather than watch Oprah all day. "It is what it is," so I am not too worked up about it. I'll be going to jail for 45 days soon (DUI) and have mixed emotions about it. The state ought not be able to profit from ruining a life so completely.īesides that, do you really want someone who is ticked off and forced to work making something you rely upon or purchase? It's like asking for a tattoo on your back and punching the artist in the face before he or she starts. Second, work for the state making little things cheaply? Most of the people in jail likely worked for very little on the outside, and the state, by locking them up, has taken that job from them, likely their children, and, if they were in debt, their credit. First and foremost, mandatory schooling? If someone does not want to learn you will certainly have a difficult time forcing them to do so. If I win my trial this coming up day, than I'll come back and post. But I've been clean for four years now, and would never go back.īut anyway, we'll see what happens. Silly mischief charges, or drug/alcohol scraps. I've done overnights in holding cells at a station as a teenager a few times. The thought of being trapped drives me almost suicidal, and I'm not sure if I can handle it, and I'm scared it's going to turn me into a person that I'm not. What scares me the most is being in a space, that I can never leave. There's still a chance I'll win, but my lawyer thinks it's very unlikely. And now being two days away, I'm going insane. I've been waiting nine months for my trial, and every day has been stress and worry for me. I have been accused of a crime I didn't commit, and even with all my family and friends behind me, all backing up everything I'm trying to defend, my lawyer still tells me there's no way a judge is going to look my way. Well I'm facing with a minimum one year jail sentence two days from now.
