My son got his arm dislocated and broke in two places at his growthplate at a very young age. Then was cuffed like that. And was told by a nurse stop crying you arms not broke for hours, Then nurse two comes along, tells him all you kids cry just to get off campus. After hours of pleeding to see the Doc 17 house to be exact.UTMB just popped it in place and splinted it. But it hung 17 hours out of socket. And was pulled out by a staff.And he was not even 14. And was there for two minor misdemeanor's, under 500$ in damage a year of his life. Every time he ask nurse for headache medicine she would reply get the F**k away from my station. So the ignorance for any one to say there is good health care in the prisons. Is just simply amazing to me!! Let somebody treat your Momma,Daddy,Son are Daughter this way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-15709216975426403452011-01-24T15:21:02.953-06:002011-01-24T15:21:02.953-06:00TDCJ employees are a bunch of criminals.

Most of the criminal activities are conducted by the employees outside the walls and our elected leaders sit back and rubber stamp these actions because Prison and incarceration is their private play grounds. That is why Texas leads the free world in making new laws and locking people up. But wait Texas is not part of the free world or the demacratic society. This state fought two wars count them two wars for slavery and when that did not work for them they elect a bunch of redneck trash to build prisons to replace slavery. Sounds like China to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-10259811344661501252011-01-24T13:53:30.033-06:002011-01-24T13:53:30.033-06:00People that work for TCJD are folks that liken to ...People that work for TCJD are folks that liken to criminals themselves.

But, instead of standing up & be a man, something outside the scope of his behavior, Pretty Boy Perry succumbed to the forces that put him in office. In that sense, he is a cheap whore. <br /><br />UTMB has nobody to blame but themselves. Initially, they pocketed the 30 million instead of returning it to Texas or TDCJ. In the beginning, UTMB thought they'd found a cash cow.

But, he did the right thing. The blame belonged with the Texas legislature which failed to do its job in overseeing the system. If the people of Texas don't want the federal courts intervening again they better start electing legislatures that have a clue. That ain't going to happen because most Texas voters are clueless. So, its just a matter of time before there is court intervention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-44206712095364012492011-01-23T20:15:24.438-06:002011-01-23T20:15:24.438-06:00How do you know what they are getting?
