[QUOTE="Star*, post: 307836, member: 4964"] What do you think about? I don't know if they have Road Gangs in any other part of the world, but they do here in SC. It's a privledge to get out of jail and go on a Road Crew to pick up trash on the highway. They have a porta potty on a lawn trailer pulled beind a van that says SC Dept of Corrections. All of the men are in bright orange jump suits and have plastic flip flops and socks on their feet. They get pick up sticks and a trash bag and walk along the road picking up litter. It's a treat to get out of jail and be in the sunshine or fog or whatever. I saw the young men (sometimes it's women) and there is always a man riding with a rifle in the van pointed at them. I thought of my son. I thought of their Mothers and said a quick prayer because it was like - there for the Grace of God.....and it just really hit me....that could be ANY of our kids. Deservedly sure....but still. Just wondered what you thought when you see them. [/QUOTE]
