[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 90965, member: 3419"] Wow. Very bizarre about the phone company monopoly and the food. I've never heard of that b4. I am sorry to hear that it takes 6 mo's to get a psychiatric appointment. Very bad. But very typical, across the country. And probably around the world. In fact, most countries don't even offer psychs for inmates. We are very lucky ... in our area, the city has a farm where the inmates work. They raise their own food. Literally. They also go out and cut grass for the city. You can always tell it's not a private company because a half dozen inmates in bright jumpsuits walk along with-lawnmowers, and a security guard with-a rifle stands in the door of the truck. It saves the taxpayers a ton of money, and teaches the inmates a bunch of skills. In fact, most of them grew up on the streets, dropped out of school and truly had no skills b4. Occasionally one runs away, but the others usually tell on him. (And for whatever reason, it's always men.) At any rate, Ant needs to realize that he's in jail for a reason and it is not supposed to be fun, pretty, or easy. I'm so sorry that you are hurting. You're not supposed to hurt for him. This is how people learn. He has to do his own hurting. {{{Hugs for you}}} [/QUOTE]
