Hi Eric, I don't know why you posted the menu, but I appreciate it. There was a news report in our local paper last week about a boycott at the county jail because the food was so bad. *Both the inmates and the prison workers were going on a food boycott.* The workers at the prison were just as unhappy about the food as the inmates.
I appreciate that the prison itself is underfunded and always looks for ways to save money, so supplying a lot of oatmeal and beans (and not much else) is one way I suppose.
I think it would be a good gesture of solidarity if I were to agree to eat a prison-menu diet for a set period (and publicized that I was doing so, of course) to indicate concern about the problem. I don't have any good answers, unfortunately-- it's a disheartening problem. --Bob
It's Tuesday December 4th and I'm starting to be a little bit worried about you! I was sort of expecting a response on Nov. 20th or thereabouts. I do hope all is well. Know that I'm thinking of you and look forward to hearing any news you have to share.
If I've not heard from you by next Monday, which is when your posts get posted ... I'll write all mine and send some Holiday cheer your way.
Hey it’s Kyla, yes I am 18. I currently am still in high school my criedts got messed up. So me graduating got put off. I go to an online high school. It’s kind of like homeschool but I have actually teachers but I can move at my own pace. After I graduate I plan on taking a year off so I can work and save up as much money for college. I haven’t decided which one I want. To go to yet. I’m not really a fan of the colleges in my state . But I’m not offended for you asking a criminal justice teacher referred me to this site so I can get the advice I wanted he said this place is really trustworthy and it’s jot like the letter get mailed directly to my house it’s through my email. In your state do les your facility offer iPads? In Arizona they lend inmates iPads that their families can put money on and they can message them, play games,or listen to music. I’m not sure how I really feel about that yet but they haven’t had any encounters with it so maybe more facilities nation wide will get them. I really do appreciate your advice and I want to thank you taking the time to write to me. It really does mean a lot. I hope all is well have a good day
