I think thats terrible. I am not going to even get in on that conversation, but my heart goes out to the people affected by that mans death. There are really some insensitive, and ignorant people in this world that think they are perfect or somthing? WOW! Im blown away.

Read the bible isnt everybody sinners. Is any one sin better than another? A sin is a sin. Jesus was a friend to the theives and he died for our sins!!

Wow, I just don't know what to think. I probably wouldn't have paid it much mind a few years ago, but now that my 26 yr. old son is in one of the roughest prisons in Arkansas, I'm really scared. People in prison that commit crimes should definately be held accountable.

My point exactly! People don't seem to realize that just because these men/women are in prison doesn't mean that whatever happens to them while they're in there should be just looked over. It is very dangerous and very disturbing when these types of situations are looked over repeatedly.

here in australia..ppl of my culture die all the time due to neglect by the correctional services..to the point there was a massive 'black deaths in custody' government enquiry a few years back after our ppl took to the streets..they tried to placate us by their political ways but are men still continue to die in custody....

my brother has been in the system for years and almost every were he was shipped he was shitted on its time 4 things to change more people need to step it up jessesgirl from florida

some of that was down right unbelievable.Every prison in this country is corrupt,from county to federal.My question is.When the sentence has been done and the offender has completed everything required,when do they stop paying?

GEEZ!!! I really can't wait for the day people like that closed minded person meet God and he shows them that by not loving others as He has commanded us she is sinning! It is one of the 10 Commandments. I really can't stand people like her, but she will get hers in the end.

I agree...they are all going to have to pay for everything that was written here. I haven't even been there anymore really since I've posted this. God just allowed me to see that these people are crazy and that they don't really understand the prison system and what it really does to a person. I hope that maybe one day they are able to see...Who knows? maybe they will.

God Bless You All And Thank You For Reading This!

This system is very corrupt, and it is terrible that nothing will ever be done about this, or held accountable. The lady that has "never" sinned will meet her maker. And who's to say someday she may have a loved one in the system. What will her opinion be then? It is terrible that the families on the outside have to worry, and live in fear everyday for their loved ones because no one seems to care, and understand that they are loved and still deserve respect...no matter what!

That is probably one of the craziest things I have ever read. I can't believe that lady said she never sinned. That is ridiculous! The prison system is scary. It is corrupt. Not everybody who's in prison deserves to be there. Even the people who are sent there for crimes they do commit, the whole point is to rehabilitate them, not kill them.

I read the forum briefly. Since we go into the prisons as spiritual advisors there are crazy things that happen there that would blow your mind straight from their mouths.

And interesting enough Correctional Officers do corrupt things to inmates and deny the fact of this.

One young man we know was in a county jail and he was on suicide watch. He wouldn't put on the paper robe for the officer so he got 4 officers came into his cell and beat him to comply - he had bruises all over and busted up face. (Which my husband saw) The officers told him they would deny any the beating if he reported and do it again.

We do live in a corrupt society in an out of the prison system. Working with men that were at the age of 16/17 that had to lie that they knew their friend planned to kill a clerk when they didn't know because if he didn't lie they threatened him with fear that he could get life or the death penalty.

I know what my brother went through for his short stay for 2 dui's and medical care he received in a state prison. I had to call the Warden and then called the Governor's office because the office on duty let my brother sit with a leaking ileostomy bag for 4 hours with feces leaking on his skin that gave him a burn the size of a half-dollar.

Yes if you do the crime you need to pay the time. But we need to treat the prisoners humanly. We have visited men that have had no visitors for over 13 years. And yes its our tax dollars that pay for their incarceration but until you have walked into a prison to visit a prisoner no one can relate with them.

But for the grace of God we could be there too. Everyone deserves mercy at some time or another.

That was awful what happened to that inmate, but not that surprising as I've been told by my incarcerated loved one that sex offenders are the first ones to "get theirs " as the saying goes. Sex offenders and rapists and especially child molesters, are the most hated inmates in the prison system, so are at the mercy of other prisoners..right or wrong they mete out there own form of justice...none the less, murder is murder, and it's barbaric in whatever circumstances...I'd like to comment on that self-righteous prig of a woman who claimed she was a Christian but had never sinned...well, right there she shot herself in the foot, thus proving she was'nt one , cos real Christians acknowledge that they have ALL sinned and fallen short .. Thats WHY they need Christ as Saviour..she also proved by her Potty Mouth and her judgemental attitude that she was a hypocrite..oh well, at least she gave me a laugh..But unfortunately, 1007 pages later, that posting had degenerated into a slanging match between five or six people , so i couldnt be bothered ploughing my way thru the whole lot..

Sorry, i mistakenly said 1007 pages..that should read..POSTS... anyway, it was far too long with all the ranting...

I wish I could say I am stunned at the one poster's comments...but I'm not. That kind of callous attitude is prevalent among SOME people. It's only when you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes that you can really understand what it's like. And until then, you should keep your big fat mouth shut about judging someone.
What happens in prisons is reprehensible. But b/c they're PRISONERS, it makes it somehow alright. IT'S NOT ALRIGHT!!!!!!! They're still living, breathing human beings who deserve better than the treatment they're getting. Serve your time, yes...but they could do a better job of protecting people. It saddens me immensely....
