[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 450436, member: 97"] Those in prisons and jails should be visited. They should get letters. The incarceration IS the punishment. The corporal works of mercy ask us to tend to the sick, visit those in prison...and mail is the highlight of their day. I visited my son in 4 county jails and finally in state prison. I was so angry that he progressed on to the 4th DUI that took him to an agreement to serve his time in prison and take a program there. So angry... that I did not visit him for a long time when he went in. At my first visit I hugged him but also felt like screaming at him. (hence the inmates have guards overlooking the visits-partly for the protection of the inmates from family members wanting to take it out on them.) Inmates having close family ties do better when they come home. They should not be coddled, but they should know they are loved. My son has been home about 2 and a half years and is now addicted to work. We have boundaries. He knows what is expected of him. It is hard to get them on medications while incarcerated. It is hard to get them in to see a psychiatrist. There are so many inmates that they have to wait months for eyeglasses, let alone to see a psychiatrist. medications are so limited in jails and prison and they have limited kinds of medications they can dispense. Write to your son. Forgive him but don't forget what he is capable of doing. God bless you and your son(s) Tammy. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
