No Carbon Monoxide Detector
Well where should I start? As I have been very vocal about the living situations I have been forced into, this is beyond me. It is even crazier for one to believe I owe them money for gassing my room, stealing my meds, as well as things, and to be real, the list of problems here, just goes on and on.

Dry January
Summer of 2021 Beware the Ides of March As I approached my classroom, I saw the assistant principal waiting outside my room. I had no idea about the events that were about to unfold. In fact, everything happened so fast, that it is a little more than a fuzzy memory, and I was in a mixed manic state – memories tend to be hazy during mania.

Family in Prison
Let me tell you a little story about a girl I know called Sally. Her first experience with the criminal justice system was when she was in fourth grade. She didn't know anything about the law at that age. She didn't know anything about the criminal justice system at that time except watching tv, talking to her friends on the phone, or playing games. She played a lot of solitaire, the card game you play by yourself. She learned that game when she was young along with some other card games that are fun. She loved playing card games if she had someone to play along with her. She was always on the phone talking to her friends too. She loved talking to her friends.

"Comfort Women"
The definition of “Comfort” is: “a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint”.(Oxford Languages). However, for these women there was no comfort, either physically, emotionally or mentally.

This Isn't Justice, It's Stupidity
The wash basket is full It’s a chore, but it needs doing. You load the washing machine and now you have a choice, you can choose the Big Bad Powder or the Softy Soft Soap. The first goes on a ‘super-duper long wash’ cycle and the latter on a ‘quick wash.’

Correctional Issue in Drug Abuse
Prisons have increasingly become the most effective places for drug treatment. The number of inmates has more than doubled in the last decade, and a staggering three-quarters are recidivists. Furthermore, more than half have a history of substance abuse, and more than half reported using drugs or alcohol within a month before they committed their crime. These figures are particularly disturbing, given that the incarceration rate for people with substance abuse problems is much higher than for those without such a history.
