  • I struggled with addiction for almost 10 years. I have been in and out of jail/prison for years. I now have my Bachelor's degree in criminal program support services. 📚 I hope to use my experience in the system and my degree to help others better understand addiction and our prison system. This story is based on my own personal opinion and experiences.

    I hope you and the girls are doing as ok as you can be, under the circumstances! I've walked your path, and it's devastating. Leaving was the hardest decision I ever had to make, and I still second guess myself to this day (I moved out in 2019- I never "left" my husband in the sense of "we're done," but I couldn't safely live with him while he was drinking and using). My heart absolutely breaks for you, because I know what this is like. Of course addicts are in pain and struggling (I'm in recovery 16 years myself), but it's not the level of pain that the loved ones feel. We don't get to numb out feelings. We have to experience them all AND keep doing day to day life. It fucking sucks to feel like you're grieving the love of your life who is still alive. Sending you so much love. I wish nothing but the best for ALL of you, including Reese, of course. 💗💗💗

    RE committing crimes to go back to prison: My cousin was incarcerated for drugs back in the 90s. When he got out, he changed his life for his young kids. He moved into a trailer and was trying to get a job to support his family. Due to the conviction, no one would hire him. He had no way of generating an income, even though he was clean and very willing to work. With no hope in sight, he busted out a window on a restaurant and sat on the ground next to it to wait for the cops. He went back to prison and ended up dying in his early 40s.

    Didn’t know people kept random critters as pets in prison. Knowing the comfort that pets provide, it’s oddly heartwearming that people are able to adopt their own “homies” to get through the tough times. Also makes me sad and angry that the guards often throw them away on discovery, that’s so cruel :( (somehow not surprising considering the “5-photo rule, but still).

    Absolutely doing the time is the easiest thing ever! It’s when you get out and have to move back in with parents, find a job, save up for a car and pay for rides, save up even more to move out and get your own place again. Sitting in jail is easy. Rebuilding your life again is the challenging part. I had to do that like five times from the age of 21 to the age of 34. I was very foolish with my decision making during my alcoholic times. I never thought that alcohol would ruin my life but it did in different ways than I assumed it would. Thanks for reading. Life definitely got better from the age of 34 to now I am 42.

      I've only been in county jail, but the cleaning staff (inmates) would have one mop/bucket and would go through and clean EVERYTJING with it. And the cleaner isn't like top brand cleaner either. It smells weird on its own. So yeah, not only because of the sheer volume of people using the showers every day, but even being cleaned once a day it doesn't really get "clean". Not even just the showers though... everything is like that lol I would clean my cell top to bottom every day and it would still be filthy constantly. I only took my shoes off to sleep and even then I still wore socks and I hate sleeping with socks on. 😂

    In my teens I was in the streets for a while. I ran with other street kids & I can recall two incidents of intentionally getting arrested for “3 hots & a cot”. It’s not that anyone wanted to go. In one case the young man had severely injured his hand & arm. In the other, a different young man had pneumonia in the middle of winter. Both had been ejected from the hospital & were suffering. The pneumonia case was actually too weak to get himself arrested so some friends propped him up in front of an electronics store & shattered the windows.
    It worked. Both spent under 2 weeks in jail, and could have died without it.
    It’s always bothered me that our society allows that to be a legitimate way, even if it is a last resort, to get medical attention & a regular diet.
    I’m watching the homelessness crisis rise, knowing I’m only a few bad steps away myself & I’m kinda surprised I don’t hear about it more often.
    Jail is scary, you lose autonomy & connections- freedom. Prison even more so. But being on the streets is also scary & it doesn’t come with a bed (however thin), three meals a day (even if not great), or medical care. Many prisons have job training or education completion options. I’m not suggesting it’s easy or that people are treated well, or even humanely. I’ve just experienced the streets and, though I’ve never been to prison or jail, I’ve seen people who have choose jail over street.
    I really do dream of a classless civilization where all people are treated equally & given equitable access to resources. Unfortunate, prisoners are barely treated as human (depends on location) & the homeless are alternately vermin or invisible. All are just people & we’d all be in the same situation if we’d been through the same circumstances.

      That's so sickening.
      I mean, a society that just let's ppl stay in the street till they either die other break the law and go to prison is just cruel, and it does not even make fiscal sense..
      The patrols, the anti homelessness structure, the cost of judges, attorneys and prison space..
      If add all that together, providing free housing and healthcare would be sooo much cheaper, AND would probably allow most of them to get back on their feet within months...
      Yeah, a classless society would be great, but even just a society that cares about the weakest among them would be a step up!

    About comitting crimes to go back to prision, in my country, some people do it because you can get "unemployment benefits" (we don't called it like that) when you get out of there. So people would do something illegal, go to prision for a short period of time, and then getting a few months of "unemployment benefits".
    Once I was at the police station because I was renewing my national ID (here you go to a national police station for that, also to get your passport) and saw a guy going there and telling the first officer he saw that he had stolen a motorbike. And he was doing it, not becouse he felt that he needed to make police work extremely easy, but because of this.
    The thing is that here, inmates have some rights, constitutional rights actually, and it's good that they have them, but it's also true that some people live taking advantage of those rights.

    Appreciate your honesty, but I have one observation. You said that other inmates better not steal because if they are caught, there will be a physical confrontation, so they don't do it. But many of the inmates are in prion for stealing and don't seem to have a problem with that activity. It sounds like they respect others who will take justice against them, so would it be good for the prison system to physically harm prisoners who have been convicted of theft so they will not do it again. Don't hate the comment. I was told by my dad that during the war the military prison was so harsh that inmates did not reoffend, for the vast majority.

    As far as #1 goes I would have to say it’s definitely true. I taught a group of cousins that all lives together.

They essentially rotated so that each went away 1-2 times a year and bragged about it!
