    I served 5 yrs in DCI frm 2011-2016 it was a crazy n dangerous place if you handled yourself properly you’d be ok I vowed to never go back. I’m proud to say I’ve never been back I own 2 18-wheelers running my own business. I said that to say you can come back from the lowest of circumstances if you put your mind to it. I’m a proven example of overcoming a dark past.

      The only bad thing is that kids are misdirected by stories of "Thug Life" being cool and the only way you get "respect" is by doing time and hurting people. What's really bad is that most if not all of these young people have no CLUE of what "respect" even means!!. To them, they confuse a tough guy reputation for respect. They really need to have a way to get into these kids psyche, and reteach them the meaning of Right and Wrong.

    I have to agree about the guy watching the clock all day in school. I don’t have a better system in mind but I do know that especially guys, some just aren’t mentally ready for school when we are required to be there. When I was I teen I couldn’t concentrate at all even the subjects like history that I now can’t get enough I just couldn’t do it at the time. If I could do it over again I’d had paid attention . If I could have done those same classes just a few years later I’d have done so much better. That being said, it’s not an excuse to be a criminal for sure. I had the same problems and I have never been arrested .

    Some of these sentences are grossly unjust in my opinion. The 7 young man with 7 years for simply robbery and unauthorized use of a vehicle (whatever that is) is far too harsh. While I despise people who rob other people, it doesn't seem as though he even displayed a weapon. And the guy with 49 years for the attempted robbery who in that betting parlor who says he didn't fire the shot, plus the fact that no one died, that is excessive. The problem is, these inmate become free labor for the state and there is value in that. Today, we also see the police & prosecutor mis-conduct that occurs allot, which means that some of these men were likely innocent. Also, the fact that so many inmates were black is a sign of potential systematic racism. This prison is a travesty of justice. The entire system is.

    Extremely unfortunate that most of them are more then likely, back in jail or prison by now or dead. Convictions follow you for life in every aspect of it. If you can help it, stay on the right side of the law. The worst crime in life is riding down a road to nowhere and once the legal system gets it's hands wrapped around you, it's extremely difficult to break loose. Its like a vice grip. I understand not all of them should be in there and some are less fortunate then others but don't ever allow your specific circumstances to dictate the outcome of your life. No matter where you come from, you make your own destiny in life. Don't be a legal statistic and don't ever allow yourself to judge a book by its cover. If your life circumstances are not favorable, turn it into a success story. Carve out your own path. People love that. Don't waste it and end up on a prison show.

    They should never send non-violent criminals to prison.

    What a shit prison!
    Too many petty rules to be broken, too easily.
    Getting treated like a naughty kid, and doing slave labour all day is borderline abuse, and has religious like punishment, not rehabilitation, to hell with that!
    I'd do whatever I can to be transferred to a normal prison, at first opportunity!

    You are in prison to be punished- where did these inmates get the idea that they have any freedom? - you gave that up when you committed a crime- the idea is to learn your lesson and never come back- you want to be free- don't commit crimes

      The issue is finding a balance between punishment and rehab or prison becomes a revolving door and no one wins. That said, I do feel for those who committed a minor offense vs those who did a horrible crime.

However it remains a disgusting Miss Fortune about America absolutely disgusting the way they treat these human beings should be a crime!
