[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 681957, member: 19838"] Thank you for the insiders knowledge of prison. My son will be going I'm sure at some point when all is said and done. I in no way meant to imply that I was glad he was going. It is just a fact of what happens to people who cannot or will not abide by the rules of society. I would venture to say that 75% of the mental health care that is given in Texas is adjudicated in our prison system. I'm not certain that the roles change much whether incarcerated or on the streets. Predators will find victims in any social setting. I appreciate the information about the money and the drugs. I have read to be very careful about how much $$ one can have in prison (not that my son will have a lot) because they can use it to buy drugs. On the street he was pretty much getting beaten up once a week or kidnapped, so prison might just offer more of the same. I would like to know if any alternatives could exist in a society for people such as my son. The state Mental Health facilities where they are locked down have their own drawbacks and I for one don't have the money to hire an attorney to advocate for him to go there. So I guess acceptance of what is and a peace that I at least know where he is sleeping will have to suffice. [/QUOTE]
