Don't forget their free cable T.V. that we also pay for...

just to let you know Steve, their "free cable" tv is paid for by the inmates loved ones who pay for the exorbitant prices that the commissary charges for our loved ones to get toiletries, tv`s, any kind of food product etc. The extra monies go for cable tv. Before people start tooting their horns the should really know the facts!!! By the way, the food that is served is green, undercooked, and full of bugs,and that's another fact. and as far as medical attention goes, the drs there are lackeys and the guards couldn't care less if the inmate is lying on the floor writhing with pain or actually dying. Those are facts!

Eye for an eye leaves everybody blind..we have all done something's worthy of losing an eye...just think if you would have...funny to see but if people's family members were sent to prison for too many DUI's and never hurt a soul and was treated bad or came out half dead these same people would be the ones encouraging their loved ones to sue the shit out of Statesville...trying to get on the news,papers,Internet just to tell the story...it's all good until its someone you love that messed up and ended up in there...

Yep the guy who robbed the bank for a dollar and waited for the police,the guy who destroyed Speedway here on Briggs street said it was because he was out in the cold with nothing.....
We bicker who gets what from the government because of unequal division of benefits when we give "Illegals" help and not the "American" now we have race vs race and neighbor vs neighbor which causes chaos,...as we sit and say nothing and did nothing when a man named Ron Paul was telling everyone that foreign aid takes away from people here getting healthcare,food,shelter free and so does the trillions we spent on the "War on drugs" each year like 450,000,000 we just sent Mexico and the gift to the Muslim Brotherhood at 450,000,000 we gave them...and the fact that we are taxed for life to provide "Free healthcare"to Iraq & Afghanistan for life...a never ending contract...and what do our politicians do?...they have a healthcare debate to take more money from you to make you pay for healthcare...Why?..Control.....How do you do that?....Debit,unequal distribution,...which cause chaos and more laws to be put into place..which cause more people to be locked up...and now with private prisons it is going to very profitable for owners,investors to petition to congress to ask for harsher punishments for crimes to get more people locked up,a kid stealing a candy bar gets you a felony and a year in the detention..lol were heading for some darker days that's for sure...

You are very correct,it is better for some to give up freedom for sake of security,food,shelter,healthcare...and like Benjamin Franklin said it you do this you deserve neither freedom nor security...Like Ron Paul said ...Igiving up personal liberty for sake of security..just will not work...and they both are right...Prison is no easy thing..a lot of bad things can happen to you in there...so in reality they gave up freedom and liberty for sake of food,shelter and healthcare but in reality have no security from each other.....

John Roberts, you have too much time on your hands. GET A JOB LOSER!!!

Loser.lmao..that's a good one..well let's see..I am 38 make $32 an hour,house paid off,3 kids one in collage to be a nurse and was a CNA before she left high school,and second daughter is in class for CNA.both daughters were 2nd and 3rd ladies to get expert marksman which is above sharpshooter and had their shooting cards taken by the army in Joliet Central ROTC..both girls always on high honor roll...my son wants to be an engineer...I have been married for 13 years....both my kids were selected by the Youth Leadership program one went to Washington D.C for a week to visit congress,the white house and learn more about government,my other daughter was chosen for Medical.....yep doing just fine with my loser life..lmao....I think I'll keep it...

If it weren't for people like me you'd still be shitting in outhouses,spreading disease..drinking unsanitized water buddy..

And that's your educated comment?...lol..again been called a lot of things on here lol I can take it..but not a once has anyone proved me wrong...and the truth hurts so I expect uneducated people to get dis gruntled....

Education: the government says "No medical benefits to marijuana" but own pattent number (6630507) which states that marijuana has no medical value..Know what? Someone the people in Statesville are in there for marijuana..as we have 2 states that have now legalized it...the 450,000,0000 we just sent to Mexico was to fight the war on drugs...Did you also know that the "Funding"for the "War on Drugs" is taken out of the same account as healthcare,food assistance,and shelter assistance? Know who they did that? Using public account to save the public from the public that's how...
The wars: since we invaded the 2 countries we provide free healthcare,weapons,food,shelter funding to show good faith..You must not be paying attention to all the details of the war..that are costing people here and will for life...But just remember this all of the money spent is why there are not other ways to deal with prisoners..there is no funding for experiments,different facilities,or be able to run different programs that one day might actually help someone..it is being drained from the wars,war on drugs and foreign aid...but ignore the facts we will just keep on wondering why prisoners are not getting rehabbed,and why we keep on having repeat offenders,some because lack of education and some for lack of necessities...and wondering why they are like this..because we are broke and spending money on things we need not to leaving people here is and shape..Everything plays a part in this.

Oops patent number (6630507) states marijuana has numerous medical benefits...hate auto correct ..lol but some of the people in prisons are in there for marijuana....and it's not just marijuana..it's the point I am trying to make..some people are locked up for some pretty dumb shit and do not deserve to be punished while being punished..that's torture...being taken from society losing freedom and liberty is punishment

Right me too lol...and thank you very much..

keep in mind that there are some in prison that have been wrongfully convicted. don't worry Bob, prison healthcare is not what you think.
