[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 91225, member: 289"] Janet, I am so sorry for the frustration I hear. I do understand that you aren't frustrated because Ant is in jail, but rather that conditions are at best inhumane. I have followed your story for years, and I have never gotten the impression you were trying to excuse Ant from having consequences. I understand what you are saying about the food and phone calls. I had two nephews who were in seperate prisons, and the same thing you describe of them not getting enough food was common to both places. I am sending hugs and understanding your way. Hugs because you need them so desperately and understanding because you need that as much. Your frustration feels so much like my frustration when I was trying to educate the school district regarding holding a 7 year old in a time out room for hours even though they knew she was claustrophobic, and they withheld food even though they knew she was hypoglycemic, but "she had not done her five minutes in the appropriate manner" even though she obviously was calm because she had been asleep for a couple of hours. I do not know what will help Ant, but I do agree being locked up with no program for rehabilitation is not the answer. Be kind to yourself, Janet, and again, another {{{{huge hug}}}}. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
