This is what happened: I decided to do a “good deed” and write to someone in prison. My so called good deed became a journey of enlightenment. I became firm friends with the guy I was writing to who is in Texas. The more I found out about the penal system in the USA the more my horror grew. I had opened the door to the dark heart of America. Americans do not understand that is not the way the rest of the world operates, "we are Americans everything we do is the best so it follows that our Prisons are the best in the world." End of argument.
As you and I both know they might actually be the worst in the free world.
I have one rule that I apply diligently and that is that I can say or do nothing that can impact negatively on my friend. I check everything that I do that is new with this rule before I go ahead with it. Having said that I feel that I have to find out where the system is flawed and use it to my advantage, hence the advice I gave Bobby.
This is obviously not the right forum for this discussion, but I will get something to you by regular mail in the next few days. The mail from Africa takes forever so please be patient. Axe
I agree with your blogg regarding prison in general, the world of prisons in the USA , is what is shown on a regular basis , it portrays the out of control prisoners and the hard line which the prison officials " have" to take to keep these unruly people under control , well the prisoners are all to blame , they bring it all on their selves .
Wow! If people took their narrow sighted glasses of and realize that, the tv shows are made that way to give the full impression of " our prisoners are all to blame " and the authorities are in no way responsible for the hell hole some of these people find their selves .
When a child does wrong, we teach them " be accountable for their actions " this same lesson goes for adults inside and out of prison . My question is this , who is accountable for the actions of the administrators ? Who keeps them in line?
I have seen the out of control prisoners , I am yet to see the out of control administrators be held accountable for their actions of , cruelty, deceit , squandering of tax payers money, the greed and constantly turning a blind eye to the obvious .
I hope you are well sweet,
Not an hour passes when your not in my thoughts, I truly hope you have found something to smile about treasure ,
I smile when I know your smiling .
Keep it up sweetness
Cheers Bobbie Xx
