Sure Could Use A Little Good News Today

When the writer started writing this blog, the writer's intentions were to put not only his life experiences on paper but also offer insight on matters of the heart. A review of this writing leads the writer to the conclusion: "Sure could use a little good news today."

But today the writer has none to offer!

W. Houston, one, if not the, greatest songstress of the generation, was found dead in a hotel room! Israel and Iran (terrorist state) are on the brink of war. The corrections inspection committee's "yes-men" were here at the prison. They were more concerned that the prison staff were not using the sign-in log, which ever area has, over the inmates not receiving adequate medical care or living conditions. This committee is just another waste of taxpayer's money in Ohio.

Sure could use a little good news today!

Just witnessed four assaults within a two-hour period. The average assault is two-three-four-or-five on one. This prison is out of control. Spring and summer, well, it's going to be hot! But MTC, the private prison operator here, are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.

But this is why they do. One reason is that they are being sued. Prison guards and support staff are leaving. Maybe they see the handwriting on the wall. The writer does.

Sure could use a little good news today!

Just a little breaking news: just saw a picture of a guy that used to sleep next to me. It came across the TO Amber Alert. It wold appear that this "ruffian" kidnapped his girlfriend and three-month-old child. The Cleveland police is looking for them and issued an Amber Alert.

Breaking News: Local woman found shot to death. Marion Police are looking for another recently released prisoner who was in the dorm next to mine. We both worked in the food service area. In this case, she has left town to start a new life with the children. She was only back in town for a child custody hearing. So this fine upstanding person hired some ruffian to kill her.

Update on this Amber Alert, 0230 hours: All were found dead. He shot the girlfriend, the child, then himself!

Sure could use a little good news today! But the writer has none to give today! And with MTC here, none is forthcoming!
