There are a lot of former prisoners who have experienced these things who have continued to fight the injustices connected to the justice system even after they have served their time.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-56261587139499476982014-06-01T07:43:29.975-05:002014-06-01T07:43:29.975-05:00Thank you, Emma, for the reply.

It is indeed unfortunate that his health has suffered as a result of his incarceration in the county facility. I do agree that some people will push others around just because they are in a position to do so and unfortunately many news stories attest to this, but not all make the major newscasts. Most likely some of those hat your son is helping have been in a similar situation like himself.Beatrice P.

No one is supposed to be there for more than 6 months. It is an old facility which is indescribably dirty. The lighting has caused problems with his eyesight. He is now in a federal facility and things are much better. Unfortunately he has been having seizures for a couple of years now and they weren't treated. He is now on medication and the doctors are hopeful that they are stress related and will stop after a time. He still spends a lot of time in the law library working on his cases as well as helping other prisoners with theirs. His attorney told me that my son was instrumental in the way his trial and subsequent sentencing were handled. The outcome would not have been nearly as good otherwise. Thank you for your concern. By the way his purpose was not for sympathy but he wanted to simply state what happened to him and let people know that there are injustices that happen every day. He is not saying that he has never done anything wrong, only that someone in a position of authority decided to push someone around because he could.

I wondered how he is doing now and of course would not ask where as it really is none of my business. But wherever he is hope he is OK.Beatrice P.
