Out here, when an inmate goes to the hospital or court, his bed is not saved. If facility is full when recovered or court is over he will be shipped where there is a bed. It appears that Florida sends them back to reception for this..
We are so overcrowded out here that there are virtually no empty beds...lol. It is a revolving door. When one goes to court, it is filled immediately. They just keep rotating.
I read that about 10,000 to be released by the end of the year due to overcrowding & the state of emergency filed was turned down by the feds. Great...

There aren't that many that care to work. Those that do do exactly what you suggested but the majority locked up are screwballs. Sociopathy runs rampant and they don't feel they should have to work. Social workers are hired to help them fill out their disability apps so they are ahead of thgame when they parole. The system is a mess due to the type of people incarcerated. The public has no idea what life inside is really like and what these inmates can do to you. It is a system designed to control. Ca does a pretty good job attempting education and some vocational skills but not many have the ability, drive or intelligence to finish school and apply what they have learned. I've seen a few, very few finish the training.our prisons need to be expanded & programs utilizing the skill/expertise of prisoners further investigated. Just finished watching a documentary on the Unibomber and was thinking it is such a waste for a brilliant mind such as his to be wasted; wondering how he could be better utilized. Americans support these prisoners as long as they "exist" and I feel we should get more rewards for out money being spent. There is absolutely no reason for these facilities to not be self-sufficient (JMO) and/or money making entities. As I recall, the Iowa institutions produce license plates. Why can't they build cars, make clothes, grow vegetables, make greeting cards/stationery (hey as a former letter carrier-some inmates are pretty good artists!)? I am sure there are many other things they can do for us. I really love the idea of our county inmates picking up trash in my area of town! IMO, prisoners/inmates can be productive and less of a burden on society if properly administered/supervised programs are put in place.
It is indeed a pity for the overcrowding situation, but I feel releasing into society for that purpose is not the answer, and does little to deter crime. Build more prisons and make them more self sufficient is the answer to me. :twocents:
oh yea, let's put solar energy and wind power to use in generating energy for these facilities too!
Just checking in to see if there's any news. Still blows my mind that somebody hasn't snitched.
Happy 10th birthday to Haleigh.
Did you know that Teresa was in K-Mart recently asking them to donate little girls' underwear?

I was watching something on tv the other day and it was talking about Stockholm Syndrome. I was amazed as they outlined the 4 criteria for achieving this in victims. 1. Traumatic experience or something similiar. 2. isolation 3. indoctrination 4. reward.
I got chills. I know most of us believe Misty is no saint but this pretty much describes her walk with the Cummings after Haleigh was missing. I speculate that she was sent to babysit a dead child. Following the 911 call she disappeared only to be whisked away by the Cummings to keep her 'safe'. I don't think any of us disagree that there was lots of influence on her and pressure to protect Ronald and finally the wedding was the pay-off.
Interesting if Teresa was buying underwear for children......I don't think it would be Haleigh...back to school program they do maybe.
Gwen, if my memory serves me correctly, I thought I read where Crystal Sheffield was living with GGS and TN and had Jr and her little daughter, Cloe, living with them. Could have TN been by underwear for Cloe? Just wondering here, but to tell you the truth anything TN does I find suspicious.
