A young woman was busy re-filing items and doing other work. She wore an orange T-shirt with the word PRISONER printed large across the back. Jerry said, "Well, I don't think that's very appropriate work attire. But it IS a funny T-shirt."Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-29982868630636170512015-11-08T17:42:00.080+00:002015-11-08T17:42:00.080+00:00There are programs all over the country with dogs ...There are programs all over the country with dogs and cats.

Kids are incarcerated in adult prisons, some as young as 10 - 11 years old. Often they spend massive amounts of time in solitary confinement.<br /><br />This is not restitution and rehabilitation; it is vengeful, medieval and corrupt. For-profit jails and prisons are big business and the operators are threatening to sue states, or pull out of their contracts because deliveries of prisoners are slowing.<br />The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-1016926576683931412015-11-07T23:11:48.591+00:002015-11-07T23:11:48.591+00:00There's you a local job...There's you a local job...Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-29524180004158691082015-11-07T22:41:24.144+00:002015-11-07T22:41:24.144+00:00The county road commission uses prisoners for ditc...The county road commission uses prisoners for ditch clean-up.

Not only do they provide fruit and veg for the prison population but any extra is sold to the surrounding communities. We often see on the tv different prisons doing worthwhile things but I don't think it is the norm at all prisons. More often than not all you see the inmates doing is lifting weights and working out in the gym.<br />And on another note, John, you really should treat yourself to a pedicure!!!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-73288720465266708132015-11-07T17:58:38.967+00:002015-11-07T17:58:38.967+00:00Im day dreaming of COOL hand LukeIm day dreaming of COOL hand LukeJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-59846097925752133612015-11-07T17:57:09.588+00:002015-11-07T17:57:09.588+00:00She is almost registered blind so thank goodness s...She is almost registered blind so thank goodness she missed itJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-64152537656318479632015-11-07T17:55:52.740+00:002015-11-07T17:55:52.740+00:00She was happy as a pig in shitShe was happy as a pig in shitJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-9771155957818798892015-11-07T17:55:07.622+00:002015-11-07T17:55:07.622+00:00Humanity and caring won through in ths example
