Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
I just wanted to say I agree with what you're saying in terms of being heard. It's amazing how many professionals like to opine about the prison experience, when in actuality, you guys in there are the ones truly EXPERIENCING prison, ffs! Out here, we're getting to the point where we're tired of recidivism, tired of our imprisoned loved ones being abused for nothing, crazy sentencing biases, ad nauseum.
I feel for you guys. My son's in Ohio 15-life for killing his baby. They called it murder, I called it involuntary manslaughter but i'm a MOM, i'm supposed to be biased and gentle on my own.... trust me, I'd love to belong to the team that hates my kid. It'd make life so much easier for me. Imagine what it must b like to be me? It's frikkin horrible. But even bigger horror is the baldfaced MURDER going on between law enforcement and blacks. If nobody will listen when the space is provided to blast what's on your mind, its their fault. Blablablabla and then they do what they want anyhow. On each side of that wall, my friend, there is pressure building toward the center. Something has to pop soon. Have faith, stay strong.

Hi Robert, I had read about scared straight not working, so I just post a little exerpt for you from an article on it: "A study by Anthony Petrosino and researchers at the Campbell Collaboration analyzed results from nine Scared Straight programs and found that such programs generally increased crime up to 28 percent in the experimental group when compared to a no-treatment control group. In another analysis of juvenile prevention and treatment programs, Mark Lipsey of the Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies found that youth who participate in Scared Straight and other similar deterrence programs have higher recidivism rates than youth in control groups.1 And a report presented in 1997 to the U.S. Congress reviewed more than 500 crime prevention evaluations and placed Scared Straight programs in the "what does not work" category. Despite these findings, Scared Straight programs continue to be used throughout the United States and abroad." Take care, Julia
Hope all is well. I just recently was told you were moved. I have neglected communication between us for too many years. My apologies for that. Peace & Love, TCW
