a 15yr old boy has hanged himself in lancaster farm. a young offenders prison in the uk. this is the same institution where my 17yr old son is being held. thank god my boy is being released next friday. prison is not the right place for children who have commited petty crimes. the boy who died only had 6 weeks to serve. there has got to be an alternative to prison for these kids.

OM Gosh!!!! Praying for all! Sometimes the pain just gets too much, and tho in a sound frame of mind, we know this isn't the answer--but, we're not all in a sound frame of mind. Thank God your son will be home soon, and I pray HE'S ok because of this.
Many Blessings

thankyou for your replies. i know most of you on here are from the united states where i believe the prisons are very tough and sentences longer than in the uk. i wish each and every one of you and your families a bearable christmas and a better year to come. ( kind of an internet christmas card to you all. ) big hugs xx

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
