While it was 8 months ago, I haven't forgotten about it. I get notifications in the mail when something new is posted by someone I followed, so I usually notice new posts (comment replies are displayed as just that and to be honest I didn't expect one). So this time I missed it, because I wasn't expecting anything and I kind of forgot that comment replies don't have any details in them. But since I regularly check the site, I saw your comment reply.
I'm not American, so the finer details of the whole parole system escape me, and what happens inside prison during hearings is something I rarely read about. Sure, I had my suspicions about it being a dog and pony show but with psycho-babble and buzzwords, but I didn't quite expect this level of issues. Indeed with all the CCTV they have going on, you'd expect them to have a much better picture of who they are, instead of relying on how well the show was done. But I guess that's what we should expect from a system that's rooted in capitalism. There is no money available to do any analysis of the recorded video and it takes hours to sift through all that material, so they simply don't start on it. That's my theory so far.
Siyo Grandpa, I hope you see this soon, I want you to know I have not forgotten about you and I plan on writing soon I have so much to share with you especially the pictures of your great granddaughter and the next one on the way. These are kaos’s babies not mine lol.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
This reply warms my heart. :) Thank you so much for letting me know your appreciation for my comments and transcriptions.
I haven't looked at those two posts you mentioned; I will certainly take a look at them when I find the time to. Trust me, I also do not remember which of your posts I have done. (It has been a while!!).
In either case, I enjoy your posts. I learn quite a lot about you and your situation. It is a shame that you, and many others on this site, are in such horrible situations. However, I am confident that things will be better. I don't know when that will be, but I hope that it is very soon.
Hi Robert, I read your post, and I think it is very interesting and expresses very profound and sensible concepts. Re-education is certainly an important part of avoiding a relapse of the mistake made. As we read in your post, re-education is much more expensive and onerous than punishment alone, but it is the only one that can integrate people into society as citizens. I am 58, single, Catholic and I live in Italy. If you like it you can write to me through the "between the bars" site, I will try to answer you as soon as possible. Since I am Italian I don't know if my English is perfectly understandable. I send you my best regards. Alberto

You speak the truth, sir. Unfortunately, it needs to be said, but is rarely heard by others. I hope, for your benefit and the benefit of the entire convict population, that it will be heard.

Take care, my good man.
Fascinating observations on your cellie. I can see why you don't like him.
