She is emaciated, skeletal, cachectic. Is this full-blown AIDS? Why is she in prison? What could she have done that possibly could warrant this fate? Is the best our "compassionate" society can do?

She does not need compassion by a sexual transmitted diseases
that she could have prevented with the right measurements. I feel if she did wrong sure she is going to die, but does that mean we should let people do as they please since "were all going to die one day"

The prisons are full. They are sending women to Louisiana for lengthy sentences on a farm for the most trivial of crimes. Always dope. Always to "protect the children." Always prisons for profit or substance abuse classes - 40 @ $20 each. Screw up and your back in jail. After $10,000 for the lawyer.(I had felonies - everything except kidnapping the Lindburg baby.)$1500 for the fine. (A little weed is what I pleaded guilty to.) How many women you see here that can afford that?

These women need to be recruited all over the US. They have no idea what the difference between the Democrats and the Republicians are until you tell them "The preacher and all his people are Republicians. So are the cops and the prosecutors." You now have a committed and life long Democrat.

They (men and women with recent encounters with law enforcement,) could swing elections in Ohio? Mississippi? Florida? Texas?
