FELONS ARE PEOPLE TOO
Being incarcerated is a bad sit-
uation,
Even calling your family to keep
up relations;
I worked every week for just a
small fee,
Which made it impossible to call
my family;
The fees that are charged for a
long distance call,
It was very clear it wasn't worth
it at all;
Mental illnesses something
that's real,
Being examined by those with
no experience in this field;
Being a felon my voice won't
be heard,
I can't even vote which is totally
absurd;
In this new age of technology
we can all be aware,
Cameras should be placed every-
where;
By far this is not a solution,
It's a great start for ALL
correctional institutions;
I've been thinking of a plan
I know that will work,
Use undercover inmates to un-
cover the dirt;
I've served five years I had to
see it to believe,
How officers have licenses to
lie and deceive;
The innocent being punished
some serving more years,
Not able to read or write only
Expressing their fears;
I've experienced what I tell you
so while you lay in your beds,
Think of these incidents they
are very widespread;
Attending fair hearings there
are many who decline,
To even show up knowing it's a
waste of time;
When I speak of these issues
we all know what this means,
Our system is out of hand and it's
to the extreme;
I've experienced MANY injust-
ices I could go on and on,
To sum it all up there's something
terribly wrong!
