Prison is a Man Made Hell

To President Obama

Our prison system is a disgrace. It is probably one of the world’s worst.

Guards beat and murder prisoners. They allow and sometimes have prisoners kill other prisoners. The private prisons are the worst. Many prisons contract with outside companies for medical service which is poor and would be full of malpractice suits on the outside. Food services are also contracted out to companies that deliver poor quality food.

Prisoners are warehoused and used as slave labor. There is very little training for those who will get out. Rehabilitation is a bad word because the people who run the prisons make money on prisoners. Guards will charge prisoners with offences they did not commit.

80% of the inmates will get out someday. It is the job of the prisons to prepare them for the outside world and see that they are employable. Something must be done to help them find work when they get out. There used to be a tax credit for hiring parolees.

One way to lower the crime rate is to let prepare the prisoners for the outside world. Prisoners come back because they are not prepared and can not find a job.

Prisons are also warehouses for the mentally ill. The states let mentally ill patients out of the hospitals and gave them medication. Many do not take the medication and end up homeless or in prison. I know of a case where a schizophrenic inmate was told if he took his meds he would not get parole.

Prisoners are raped by other prisoners. I know of a case where a young prisoner was raped and the rapist was not punished but the victim was sent to the hole. He has been raped many times since and the guards call him a fagot.

All you have to do is use google. Key words are innocent, wrongful convictions, prison abuse, prison condition, death penalty and Mentally ill in prison. Your eyes will be opened.

I am surprised that the ASPCA does not act. Prisoners are treated worse than the puppies in the puppy mills.

Yes there are prisons that are like country clubs. They are for the weathy and politicians.

Most prisoners are not in heaven but they are in hell.
