Why are there so many women in
prisons now? Why is drugs still so easily available everywhere? Why do so many
people have mental illnesses? Why do prisons prescribe so many drugs? why! Why!
WHY! I can understand men in prisons but women are natural at multi-tasking,
are sensitive and loving and good care givers. Why don’t they teach careers in
prisons? We need to look closer not at Hillary Clinton’s phone server but at
crime and punishment in America. When
will Congress choose something important to all Americans to dwell on?
We have a nation of women behind
bars now. 200,000 women are in jail. That is far more than any other country on
the planet. They are all in there for crimes of stealing something or killing
someone. Many become suicidal when they
arrive. 63% are in jail for non-violent crimes like drugs and theft. Black women are incarcerated at 2 times the
rate of white women. The rate is closing
because of the new population. More white women are now going to jail driven
over prescription drugs. he doctors are professional drug pushers. When did a
doctor prescribe certain foods to eat or things to avoid towards an illness or
a mentor to help you get through a disease? Hardly ever. But most likely you
got a prescription for a drug and was not told of its possible side-effects.
Doctors will prescribe dangerous
expensive addictive drugs like Oxycontin and
when that becomes too expensive and now a habit, people will go to heroin that
is easily available on the streets. Before you know it, you are serving 13
years for stealing. The women are in jail and in jail for long sentences. In
the last 14 years there have been a surge in giving women life sentences. They are nicknames tow taggers because at the
end of their days they will end it there with a toe tag. Sad. Many are being
treated for depression while in prison. Three times a day there are long lines
of inmates waiting to go to a window for their cup of legal drugs.
