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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
