so they are to live in squalor? How do you propose they clean those toilets, sinks, and showers if not given the supplies to do it with?2) access to cleaning supplies? Ummmmm.....they are living in jail cells that are not that big, the toilets and sinks are most likely one piece--thus limited cracks and crevices. Inmates aren't handed cleaning supplies because those supplies can (and have been) used as weapons against guards and other inmates.
3) There is no "fowl" play in jail. Last I checked, chickens, ducks, etc. were not allowed in jail. Now, if there is FOUL play? That's a different story. But first, you would have to be there and see what is going on. As someone who HAS had experience with inmate populations (first hand, and second hand through my sister and niece who were employees of the Texas DoC, and assigned to a Max Sec. facility, and my Ex husband who was a jailer in a county lock up): INMATES LIE. INMATES make a big deal out of things when there is nothing there!
it can be censored as well but what's the point again?4) Mail was delivered to the outside world. #1--whether you believe it or not, the mail is "screened" (not censored) but screened. #2--just because she wrote on April 1, doesn't mean it actually got sent out on April 2! Most places have a schedule of when mail is picked up to be sent out, they don't do a mail drop every day!
2 weeks is excessive. and they don't do a mail drop every day? Um, the post office can pick it up every day if the jail will notify them of the need.
but as was stated, the girl in question has not been convicted of anything yet. Do we punish those that are merely accused? That's rhetorical because the answer is yes, we do.And those friends and families are often in denial that their loved one is in fact a CRIMINAL who will do and say whatever it takes to get out of trouble or cause trouble.
so what if she is innocent?Perhaps, you should be a little more wise that your friend is in jail--and jail changes people. It could be that your friend just isn't happy with her circumstances and thinks she deserves better. To get the better? She's gonna have to quit making bad decisions, and start taking responsibility.
