CCDC gives approx 10 days a month gain time to all sentenced inmates regardless of if you work or not. Actually working for the jail only provides you the opportunity to LOSE gain time , not get more. If you refuse to work, you get up to 1

At the risk of being boorish about the subject... I was recently released from Las Vegas County Jail (CCDC) where all sentenced inmates, myself included, are forced , by state law, to "work" in some manner in the jail. In this ca

Do people not realize almost the entire CJS is basically a jobs program for the very people whom directly influence how the laws are made that self-perpetuate their incomes? That usually works out well, right?

Songwriters have realized this a long time ago. Most successful bands write between 80-100 songs per album release. Hard work and practice pretty much always makes one better.

My personal-often-difficult journey through life tells me this...there are at least two types of self-esteem, and probably several more. Achievement-esteem of course has to do with the trophy stuff and doing things your peers can't d

Prisons not only make the convicts inside them worse, but from my experience and POV, it makes the people observing and interacting with them worse as well. I say this because while I seem to observe this prison-is-terrible-the-convicts-nee

This is definately not rubbish. I have been released twice from the Florida DOC, both times from a panhandle camp (Gulf C.I) that was approximately 9 hours from my home. They definitely DO NOT give you the clothes "you were arrested in

I am genuinely curious as to why we in information technology have such an astounding capacity for re-inventing (and re-labeling) the wheel. I like to call it "ego-driven/fashion development" and I pretty much see some for

Yes I believe that would the one and the same. I find it very ironic that Moody is pointing a finger at China's "debt-fueled binge" when plenty of federal debt issues are staring us right in the face here in the US. The 8 yea
