[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 681977, member: 18238"] Excellent points SK. I wasn't trying to comment on any one persons situation so much as give some general information. In your daughters case, prison doesn't change her life much and gives you some peace of mind. In my son's case, he would end up in a lot of the situations your daughter is in even though he isn't right now. For some its the solution, for others it makes no significant different, and then for some its akin to trying to put out a fire with gasoline. You're welcome and please feel free to ask me questions. I will answer the best I can. I wasn't implying that you were glad he was going, and I do tend to forget that there are people out there dealing with children who makes mine look like an angel. I'm not terribly familiar with Texas doctor other than from the "incident" Missouri had with them about 20 or so years ago where Texas employees were mistreating Missouri offenders. While I'm not big on that type of behavior by staff, I'm a firm believer in Correctional employees setting proper examples for offenders, I'm also not a big fan of offenders being allowed to sue over everything either. Don't like the conditions in prison? In the immoral words of Jim Carey in "Liar Liar" "Stop breaking the law A-HOLE!" Prisons SHOULD be unpleasant, that way you don't want to go back. On the same note, we need more programs. We need more education, more mental health treatment, better medical treatment, more...and the list goes on. A lot of people are incarcerated because they have untreated mental health issues. I can't speak for the other states but Missouri seriously needs to up its game in treating mental health offenders.
