Obviously the prison hell is in part responsible for the violent crime in the country. Reading 1stFreedoms responses (thanks for posting those) you can see he thinks about things very differently. Had to learn to to survive. And he's got his head screwed on right no doubt, but lots of people won't.

The fellow who dragged the Black man behind his truck to death (remember the shameless racist NACCP ad on this) in Texas was a recent releasee who had been 'punked' repeatedly by Black gangs in prison. Now you can understand the rage that led to the killing. We are creating a whole series of these ticking time bombs with our current prison system.

Prisons are not in the business of making kindler gentler civil law biding people of us who went afoul of the law . Speaking for myself I did mine 25 years ago and moved on . With respect to 1st Freedoms replies I was actually agreeing with him .

What I failed to say is the trick is to not allow people in the system to not turn you into an animal or do life on the 401k plan .

Yes I remember that Texas case & frankly I dont care what happened to this person on the inside . What he did is no excuse . The proper thing to have done was to deal with it then . Lets remember the fact that the mans behaviour put him in prison as did mine .

I've done no harm to anyone because the AB , Red & White SF chapter , and the Norte's along with the Crips and I had a few meetings . On a side note I want you to know that I do not celebrate victimhood .
