[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 91134, member: 97"] Donna, Ant will go to camp hill, a processing ctr. you are seeing the otherside of the prison experience because you work there. living on the other side of the bars is different. I know from dealing with the county jails ant has been in, from talking with the social workers and staff, and wardens that there are problems. I have seen the food they give them, in Allegheny co when you visit you can see the inmates eating below you thru the glass. it is not enough for most people. they are fed "adequate" food to sustain them. most jail fights are over food. I have seen the price lists for the commissaries and they are exhorbitant. this is all county so I will see if state is better soon I am sure. most inmates have no money and beg it from family. lots of times the other inmates put your toothbrush in the toilet, steal your toiletries and fight for your food. my state does get money from the phone. I have written to State Senator Arlen Specter to complaint as have countless others. I have been on the phone with ant and heard "correctional officers" verbally harass him to rile him up. I heard it myself when he was in Butler co jail. they antagonized him, made noise to make us not be able to talk. they said "talking to mmmmmoooommmmyyy??? wah!!" "correctional officers" beat a man in warren co jail while ant was there. it was in the newspaper. the social worker there told me they are backed up for months for doctor visits and for a long time they had no doctor on staff at all! If I hear this one more time I will scream. I KNOW he is not supposed to like it there. I dont expect it. I also know it is not effective for ant. I think I will stop trying to educate people about what it is like to have a son in jail. no one seems to understand but those few who have been there done that. they too can tell the same stories I do. anyone else just simply cannot comprehend.
