Amen to your post history!
I have a neighbor that tells me how wonderful they have it in prison. She said her friend told her that on "Pizza Night" they go to each cell and ask what he wants on his pizza. Is that the most hysterical thing you ever heard?
I remember when my son was in San Quentin in reception, and called to tell me he had some contagious skin disease (can't think of the name right now) it itches like crazy, anyway they couldn't get to him because only had a couple of nurses. He went like two weeks, until I finally placed a call to my "good friend" the warden to complain!!!
I don't know if it was my call or just a coincident but they got to him the next day.
My son helped some guy clean out a trailer and contacted this crazy rash. He was really sick and, of course, has no insurance so went to the emergency ward. In the end it cost over $2,000! He was there 3 times! How will he ever pay that?
He needs meds really bad for his ADD/Bipolar but, here again, no insurance!
It's not just there in Rhode Island, California is just as bad.
I really hope Obama's plan works, because something has to be done.
