Prison is for the threats, not the infirm that who endanger no one. If Texas can't figure this one out--well great, they can care for those who would otherwise be on Medicare and Medicaid. The federal social security administration is most grateful for the Texas maroons that like to imprison men over 50 who can't walk 100 yards before having to sit down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-31468050397098155182009-01-15T21:38:00.000-06:002009-01-15T21:38:00.000-06:00Prisons such as Sky View, Hodge, Boyd and others a...Prisons such as Sky View, Hodge, Boyd and others are little more than nursing homes. Most of these losers are no longer a physical threat to anyone---yet they stay incarcerated. I guess the BPP morons like the idea of state taxpayers paying for the prescriptions and healthcare of these old men---rather than federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The people of Texas should be holding street demonstrations over this stuff and carrying lighted torches and pitchforks like in an old Frankenstein movie, yet they do nothing. Good, then go bankrupt you knaves. Maybe Texas is waiting for a bailout from Obama? You are in for a long wait Texas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-69567923451365905512008-04-04T00:59:00.000-05:002008-04-04T00:59:00.000-05:00When is someone really going to join the dots on a...When is someone really going to join the dots on all this? <BR/>Inmates who are eligible for parole and have clean disciplinary records and support at home are denied parole by the BPP.<BR/>Inmates who are bedridden and imobile AND recommended for medical parole by TDCJ themselves, are either denied by the BPP or the BPP dont prioritise those cases so that the inmate dies in prison anyway.<BR/><BR/>I have had no reply to my question to Tom Craddick as to whom the BPP are supposed to give their explanations when they deviate from their own guidelines in awarding parole, and somehow I dont think I will get one. Its all fine words and no real substance. <BR/><BR/>The BPP and TDCJ are not closed religious orders, they are public servants and its about time they were made to behave that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
