As a current prisoner who is yet to be released, let me say thank you for everything you've done.
I've spent the last 9 years around felons and it is sad as most of them never had a chance in life, being born either into an environment that practically guaranteed incarceration, or being born with mental health issues that this nation fails to treat and instead incarcerates.
- weinr0ck 4y agoJust a question, when you do get released, what do you plan on doing? Are there government programs to train in certain areas?
- kingcharles 4y agoSadly almost no programs apply to me because I've never been convicted of a crime. Most programs are only available to felons. There are almost no support structures for those who have spent years locked up in pre-trial detention. I was behind bars for the first 8 years, but for the last year I've been locked in a room in a house instead, but that at least gave me Internet access. I've been doing my best to try to make as much money as I can doing gig work online. Ironically one of the first jobs I got was transcribing recorded jail phone calls, then police interrogations, then court room transcripts. Talk about PTSD.
