We're September 12th; so you can tell me later how long the message did over it. :)
We've a heatwave here in BE and this is very unusual for this time of year!I guess climates change everywhere these days. By the warming up of our planet.:( I am sitting here to wait for the skype session of a new friend Milena.She is Bulgarian, but lives in Antwerp(en) where I live. She speaks with a more Dutch accent(as she lived also in Holland), but Flemish is the same language,spoken with another tongue or accent.The Netherlands and BE are neighbors.Holland and THE N. are the same.:) I probably told you we speak 3 languages in my country, but in THE N.they speak only Dutch.Their second language is English, while ours is rather French. This Milena speaks 7 languages! Well, I can tell she doesn't show up...:o I had to write a French letter to her landlord.I am babysitting right now for Lynn, 2yrs and 7 months and next I pick up Lars(a boy), 7 months in the childcare. Those in America, San Diego are doing great in school!Leslie, my youngest daughter, sends me pictures now and then. So we can follow up them.
What's your temperatures like, Robert? Hopefully you can enjoy your brother's visit! I hear you can go outside then?! George can't go outside when I visit. He got 6 months of segregation!Only for having a socialist activist newsletter!He got it all the time!Plus the mail room gave it to him!!! It's so unfair and unjust..; when I was at my hotel visiting him in June/July I called senators, the governor, the director of Corrections, two lawyers,... They moved him to a prison where I visited him before. I always visit him the 2 first days with his dad of almost 93yrs. I got 6 days of 6hrs/day in June and the same in July. Because he was in seg, I got 2 days of 1 hour in June and 2 in July!! He was behind thick glass and his hands were not free.How awful! So sad to see my man. :((( His lawyer Jessica does what she can to shorten his seg. But will it help? He's in seg since the 17th of June! All I can do is writing letters; he can't even call his d

I also want to say I'm the mother of the criminal & the grandmother of the victim and I don't think violent offenders are all deserving of their sentences. See Tims proposed legislation for violent offenders under the age of 24. Brain science. My son falls into that category. Prosecutors arbitrarily trim & alter their cases to say what they want them to say, to put in a show for the public to make them feel safer. And the fact is, they are no safer. Men go in for far milder crimes come out to commit more heinous crimes because of our prison systems lack of concern for their future. Turning an involuntary manslaughter case into a murder case and taking it from 8 to 15 years, to a 15 to life sentence --- it's purely money driven. And they count on the common man not having a half-million dollars around for the defense to show why it was not murder. Prison Corp Inc are taking advantage of this every day all the time and until that changes, we're going to have old incapacitated men they can't be released from prison because it's cruel. How convenient.
Everything you say is true, & the solutions depend purely on a society that is growing more jaded, angry & vengeful, rather than kind, happy, purpose driven & progress-minded. Prisoners & their problems in relation to society are low in priority.
That's too bad; because not all who leave are agied, but they still match all the criteria you outlined. We're out here bitching abut unfair prison practices & lack of jobs.... Here's a job: take care of all the old men leaving prison... ! What s concept. Except for the most dangerous psychotic cases, a lot of qualifying prisoners can be trained to be personal care assistants , literally the biggest employee shortage we have in the medical community. Same with homemakers and NURSES. A program featuring assisted living, or just a different type of facility where they're granted a modicum of movement, of freedom... SOME kind of consolation! They should be offered a choice. Otherwise it'll be "the shawsank solution" for most. But our prison system has the whole show sewn up. The suggestions made here would go against the grain of corruption, greed, & power in place that's feeding the elite few in charge. None of our ass clowns intends to volunteer their lucrative lifestyle in favor of radical groundbreaking judtice reform. That'd be too much like actual work. These galumpkies wanna sit on their collective duffs & collect a paycheck.
