Why are we NOT a strong(er) organization?

We all have heard or read recently that United States has a huge problem with incarceration.We heard that there are more than 2 millions people behind bars currently in US.We heard that the country (US) with about 4% of world population incarcerates 25% of all prisoners in the world.If there are 2 millions inmates then there should be about the same number of mothers (plus sisters, brothers, wives and girlfriends). There should be millions of us, suffering from from the system.What surprises me is that out voices are not hear enough, that we are not organized in a better way..Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Devastated

Last night my son lost trial. Found guilty of second degree murder, carjacking and false imprisonment in Florida. His sentencing is October 2. I'm trying to stay strong for my family, but fear I'll fall apart. He took it well and trusts God as I do. Please pray for us that there may be mercy in sentencing.Michele

Noble

so Austin's intended father prison is Noble Corr. Institute in Caldwell Ohio.But they've immediately put him in SEG at his request. Too many individuals approaching him about his crime. Feels unsafe. Of course he's going to feel unsafe, he didn't grow up in a ghetto with a criminal mentality. he doesn't know how to throw a punch. how to defend himself. How to step up to a challenge and get it over with.As if anybody in there with him has a place to talk shit to him. they're all innocent and he's the only guilty one?so he's there until they find him a dorm. Good luck! I know what to do to make him feel safe, put an ankle bracelet on him and send them to his home in Massachusetts. Austin did one violent act. He is not a violent person. He's going to be in trouble. I'll be surprised if he makes it out of his first year.

Tears are Flowing

Well.. They took him today from the county. Yesterday we had enough $ on the phone for him to call 3 times cause we had a feeling they would take him this morning. Has not made it any better. When that officer told me this morning "He is not here anymore mam"...MY heart just broke into a thousand pieces. His 81 year old grandma had a visit set for today. Now I gotta call her and break the news to her. The hardest part is going to be the not knowing for the next few weeks if he is OK or not. He had years of Tae Kwon Do classes.. but I tell ya I dont think he could fight his way out of a wet paper bag if he needed to. I am terrified for him.

Another Milestone

Very soon, my son will be transported from the county jail to the state prison. He is eager to go because he hopes to get into firefighting, which will enable him to be outdoors and also to have physical work to do. A bonus is that firefighters get credit for three days for every day served. I hope he will be able to handle the physical demands. He is 45 and 25-30 pounds overweight, and it's been quite a while since he exercised and worked as he will if he gets into the program. I understand that there will be several weeks when we won't be able to visit or talk with him on the phone. I am dreading that, but at least we will be able to write.  His baby's third birthday was this past week, and she cried for him, which upset his ex.  His ex thinks "out of sight, out of mind" because her own father was a no-show in her upbringing, but my son wants to be in his daughter's life.  I am so heartbroken over this whole thing.  It dominates my thinking at least 18 hours a day.  So tired already, and we have at least two years to go if everything works out well.  :-(

Free in 24 hours??

I am hoping that by this time tomorrow my son, Andrew, will finally be safely home in his bed.  He has been transferred from Hagerstown to a Baltimore prison for release around 6PM, but you know there can always be a glitch.  Pray for us as we transition to our new normal all over again.  Pray that he can stay away from old friends, old habits, and especially the drugs that sent him to prison in the first place.  Pray that he is determined to make a new life for himself.  Thank you, dear friends, for being by my side these past 20 months.  I have needed you, felt your love and support, and depended on your wisdom.  I will post our success or failure tomorrow.  Sending love to all of you and your children.

parole letter,

Well  I finished my support letter for my son, and I will mail it tomorrow.
I will hope for the best, even thou i feel they wont release him. They interviewed him with no warning, hes only been in for 8 months,

Has 18 months state jail time and 10 years tdcj time. So why did they even bother.

just another way of trying to break him and his loved ones.

I will send this damn letter. I will pray hard. I will be strong and pray for strength. Peace to all of you and many prayers and hugs.
