I blame the pharmaceutical companies and the government and doctors.

    As a 15+ year former cop, my experience was that the majority of felons I came across had a drug or alcohol addiction. I would always dive deeper into why they were addicted and typically it was to mask the pain they suffered from due to abuse or mental illness. We need better mental health care, from a younger age, NOT prisons/jails/cops. The focus truly needs to be better birth controls, parenting skills, job training, and therapy. This girl is clearly someone that wants to help others, even before she wants to help herself. Kudos to her for helping the Detention Deputy 👏

      As for me, I did bad things, pled guilty, did my time and when I got out I changed environments. I had no parole to hold me so I left the state and started my life over. Learned a trade, worked that trade for years and now I'm almost at retirement age. My observation is that most of the time you are correct. I was in a medium security work camp. I saw people get transferred in and transferred out. Some when back up to max and some went down to minimum. Most stayed at medium until release date. 98% of the guys I was with in that work camp dorm were fairly normal acting in most ways. Probably 75% were involved with drugs or alcohol. In the classification center they weeded out people with mental illness but all they did was warehouse them in maximum security sometimes in padded cells and from what I heard from the C.O.'s few got any real treatment though occasionally they were drugged. Many were released on their latest possible day then that ended their meds because mostly they just doped them up to control them. We called them the zombie squad because they had a blank look on their face most of the time. So they would get out and almost immediately would violate their probation and get sent back. The drug addicts were similar. More than half of the inmates I encountered were in for possession of a controlled substance. Most of the time that was pot. Not trafficking quantities mind you. This was in the 1980's and our state had a zero tolerance policy. People were getting life sentences for the third time they were caught with a joint. Today there is a push to legalize pot in our state for recreational use. I'm not sure if that other end of the spectrum is a good idea or not but destroying lives for having a single joint three different times was too extreme as well. I think that law has been adjusted though or at least the sentencing guidelines have been. As a trustee in the jail waiting trial for six months I can tell you I saw every kind of inmate there was. My job at first was feeding other inmates then later the library and finally law library where I became a de facto psychological counselor with no training. The C.O.'s kept sending suicidal inmates to the law library to talk to me. Maybe I'm easy to talk to. But boy did I see a lot and realized my life was no where near as bad as I thought. That experience did more for rehabilitation than anything else. I think programs where inmates help other inmates is a good idea. You begin to think differently when you feel like you actually can do good things. A lot of inmates get into their head that they are bad because that is what they are told all their life so they don't even bother to try to be good. That is a huge problem. One 15 year old murder suspect told me he was planning to just walk up to the biggest guy in prison when he got there and shove a shank in his heart. He said he saw in a movie that was the only way to earn respect in prison. I told him that is the quickest way for a 5 foot tall 90 LB kid like him to end up in a grave. I told him to just be quiet and polite to everyone, respect everyone and never miss an opportunity to do chores. That last one will keep a lot of people out of trouble. Half the fights in jail were from one inmate claiming it was not their turn to clean the toilets in the cell block and then a fight would break out. If you just take it on yourself suddenly everyone will leave you alone. You might end up doing a lot of chores but you'll never get beat up for doing chores. since a lot of inmate's route cause of being there is pure laziness in one form or other, everyone will be grateful they can sleep in and not worry about cleaning anything. And such inmates tend to want that to remain and don't want anything to happen to someone who likes to do chores. That's part of why I applied for trustee status. Unfortunately he was found guilty and sentenced to death. Fortunately later the supreme court forced the state to commute death sentences for people who were convicted while young teens. Florida is a weird state anyways. I'm sure you've heard of the famous Florida Man.

    Goes to show that just because you use drugs or are an addict, that it doesn't make you a bad person, and in some cases it's the opposite. Sooo many addicts are good people who are using drugs to escape trauma in their lives that was caused by bad people. My mom was an alcoholic who tried to quit drinking MANY times, but she never could because of the nightmares she would have when she was sober, and my dad died of a heroin overdose 13 years ago, and both of my parents were broken, but had/have hearts of gold♡ It took my mom having a major stroke that put her in a nursing home in order for her to quit drinking, it's very sad, however she is seen by our small family almost every day since her stroke 10 years ago♡

Not even the Chinese and North Korea combined can beat us in prison population numbers.

And all it would have to do is nick an artery, and someone could very easily and quickly end up dead. Also, remember, this heroine of an inmate suffered an injury to her hand in the act of saving the deputy, and it's likely that particular wound was caused by the makeshift shank.
      But this just goes to show that just because an inmate has committed a crime, it doesn't mean they are a bad person, or that they are beyond redemption. Larry Lawton, a former jewel thief, turned his life around after serving his time in federal prison, and now he tries to use his past experience to inform others of how to protect their valuables, and he strongly urges people to not follow his past example and turn to crime.

Anyone who supports incarceration is a criminal, therefore all cops are criminals and therefore they should be taken care of... ie killed and not incarcerated. Incarceration is the cruelest form of discipline and barely works... these cops are monsters and they all deserve a shiving. Anyone who ignorantly saves a cops life... well maybe they don't deserve a shiving themself, but they deserve to be educated so that they can make better choices in life.

      That's false. You can be cured from being a drug addict. I've been involved in research that prove what I'm saying.

I spent more than half my life on drugs started at 10 43 now, and I've been completely clean for 5 years with zero desire to want to return to drug use. That means I'm cured. I've gotten so sick of hearing the excuses people make just to continue being an addict. It's a false perception that has proven to have grave consequences. And no amount of well what about this, or what about that, will change my mind. If society knew that addiction could be cured we wouldn't be saying it can't. It's a mental game that's being played so the prisons can stay full and addicts can have an excuse to fall off the wagon. I've argued with ppl in group over and over and in the end they can't deny what I'm saying is true.
