S. and that has really over flowed the system. my husband for one could face up to 20 years for coming back to be with me ! i know it was against the law but, why so much time , at best he will get 3 years.why mix murders with lower level offenders? this is also the problem. i know alot of people will say " that's what he gets " but have you ever been to MEXICO? that's okay because we will both be living there,it's not so bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-92137278128796145822008-04-01T11:26:00.000-05:002008-04-01T11:26:00.000-05:00Well, geewhiz, let's see.

That means the guards must be able to protect the health and safety of prisoners!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-3807510468785027132008-03-30T07:53:00.000-05:002008-03-30T07:53:00.000-05:00Why don't they release some of the non violent off...Why don't they release some of the non violent offenders, who have already done more time than they would have anywhere else.The Abolishment Movementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638570735817934522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-84783606843829042492008-03-29T13:27:00.000-05:002008-03-29T13:27:00.000-05:00It is only the federal governments fault.

I know from experience, I have been in corrections for over 10 years and have applied at a federal unit and was not hired due to my credit rating. Yes, I have had some tough times financially but am a committed correctional officer. Those federal units are left to hire young and inexperienced correcctional officers who have no credit problems. Unless their hiring practices change those units will continue to have those staffing issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-42744893988717139862008-03-29T13:07:00.000-05:002008-03-29T13:07:00.000-05:0013 staff, sounds like evins, they can't get people...13 staff, sounds like evins, they can't get people to show up either. it's just a matter of time before somethings pops down here as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-47394542675869133072008-03-29T08:05:00.000-05:002008-03-29T08:05:00.000-05:00The scariest part of this is that TDCJ is at least...The scariest part of this is that TDCJ is at least as understaffed.
