    People talk about 'rehabilitation' and giving prisoners a skill they can use on the outside, but the fact is, most people would never dream of giving a convicted felon a job. I remember a story of a guy who spent 25 years inside, and was a model prisoner; earned two Masters degrees (computer programming and design) inside, and couldnt find a job outside other than shoveling sh** on a farm. Its no wonder that some of these guys creep back to old habits. Cant be a productive member of society if that society wont allow them to.

      Another part of the justice system in some states are ridiculously unfair and that's the horrendous 3 strikes policy. No matter what you've done if you're put in front of a judge for a 3rd time if found guilty you get sentenced to life and nobody suffers more through this than people of colour, societies minorities and those well below the poverty line.

    Before I knew I had PTSD and bipolar, I was working part time while attending two universities full time. I had a medicine-induced psychosis accompanied with amnesia after being pulled over for a stop sign 🛑 violation. I black out and become non-compliant. I never punched pushed or touched either of the two officers. Although they pepper sprayed my right eye so close that it’s permanently bruised. I had both of the cops on my back while walking down the street. I come to and realize omgosh what is happening and I have a panic attack. I eventually try to pass out but can’t. When I wake up, I’m being arrested and I’m clueless about what just happened. Even though a doctor proved it was due to medicine, one of the universities I was attending kicked me out. They charged me with a felony assault on a police officer. Although a doctor determined it was medicine induced psychosis, I had to take a plea instead of fight for the truth because it was too much of a risk if I lost. I have no previous record. I’m a law-abiding veteran and man of God. The system is rigged.

      @Clark Harris thank you. I was dealing with civilian doctors when that incident occurred. The VA has been taking good care of me. They have been there every step of the way and I wouldn’t be able to be where I am without their help. That being said, psychiatric care must be carefully monitored. You have to advocate for yourself. Good doctors typically understand when you have good reasons for declining certain treatment. It’s just learning those reasons where it gets tricky. There are many resources. UA-cam one of is the best. As far as the meds during the incident; a mix of Provigil, 7 days off Klonopin, & 3 days on Zoloft.

It is definitely a revolving door and the rehabilitation services just weren't there unless you were wealthy. I had to figure out my addiction problem on my on to break the cycle but I'm now 41, sober and proud father and full time employee.

    a lot of the reason why there's so many innocent convictions is that those on trail are laymen and are stressed and pressured to take a plea bargain with little idea of what theyre agreeing to. it sounds like a good deal, they sure push hard to you that this is the case making you believe whatever evidence they have against you is highly damning. its manipulation on a high order. the courts of course dont care as this all lets them clear more cares quicker and many have huge backlogs.

    I lived in a small town and worked in a bigger city about 30 miles away.
    At work I met a guy who lived in my town but as part of his prole he was not allowed to drive. He was getting a ride to work, but it was really inconvenient for the person driving him so as we worked at the same place I offered to take him back and forth if he could get onto my shift.
    As it happened we talked to the bosses and they needed a welder on the night shift, so I ended up going onto his shift (I prefer working nights anyway.
    I knew the guy had been in prison and was on parole meaning he had to maintain certain conditions to meet his parole requirements, such as he had to remain employed. I don't think he had any skills, he was a general laborer in the shop I was working at.
    He worked hard and was liked at the shop, but the police (especially the local small town cops) constantly harassed him, and now they associated me with him, they started harassing me as well..
    We got pulled over about 60% of the times he was with me, and I'm pretty sure the only reason we were not pulled over every time was became no cops saw us. No matter how careful I was about infractions I'd still get pulled over.
    It was so frustrating. I would have liked to have known what he did, but he never told me, and I thought it would be rude to ask. If he wanted me to know he would have said. But the harassment he received from the police helped me to see why people go back so often.

It’s extremely hard to get away from those things when it’s been in bedded in your mind from childhood or from being around it a long time. We need more institutions and programs that could understand that and come up with better solutions than just “ Stay here awhile and then go back”.

    There is definitely a very big difference between jail and prison when it comes to personal safety. From my experience for the most part people in jail are still fighting there cases so there somewhat trying to stay out of trouble, in prison their court is done and sentences are set.

      In the 1970s, Dem states in particular in the US actually had a lot of prison programs, job training, education/classes, therapy, more lax conditions including just being there at night, etc to “rehabilitate people.”
      Then, someone did a study to show how much less likely the prisoners who went through rehab were to commit another crime, and it found….it didn’t help at all - the return to prison rate was the same in prisons with or without big rehabilitation programs. The problem with rehabilitation is….there is no program that consistently shows a measurable benefit, despite many tries. If it did show it saved money by reducing return to prison rates or lowered crime, it would be used more - but life is messy and much more complex than “evil corporations.”

    If you think about it, all businesses are literally finance companies (or banks) that offer services. Take Starbucks for example. You load your Starbucks cards with $20 to buy beverages. That money doesn't actually go on your account. It goes into the companies pocket and they give you "tokens" or "credits" to purchase things. Because you put money on a card and they aren't immediately giving you something in return for it (like a grocery store or department store), meaning you put $20 on your card and only use $8 so the rest sits "virtually" on your account, and in the end the company sees that as "donations" instead of reportable income and don't have to pay taxes on that. Same with the prison system. Say your family puts $50 in your account to buy snacks, make phone calls or get toiletries. That money goes directly into their pocket and they give you "credits" to buy things, because those items that you're purchasing are pennies to the dollar to them since they buy in bulk.

    You never have to join a gang. If you choose to, then whatever happens because of it is completely on you. You always have the choice of growing a pair and not just throwing away everything you believe in just because you're scared, or someone threatens you. I guess it all comes down to asking yourself one simple question. Would you rather die a man(or woman), or survive as a coward?
    Work on learning to defend yourself if you have the chance before anything goes down. Even if you don't have any time for that though, I'd still always recommend you don't go the way of the coward, it rarely ends well. You'd be better off sticking to your guns, for better or worse.
