To add to your post above @FAC…

Florida’s Bloated Prison System Will Cost Billions To Maintain (Reason.com 17 Nov 2023) (https://reason.com/2023/11/17/floridas-bloated-prison-system-will-cost-billions-to-maintain/)

Florida’s mandatory minimum sentences created a large, elderly prison population. Now the bill is coming due.

A little light reading for the Floridians who visit the forum and probably already are aware…

From information on the internet of Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested 29 times and spent some time in jail but never went to prison. Most of his crime was misdemeanors and yes he was for civil rights. Only spent a weekend in prison during my intake and establishing bail which was a twenty thousand or so. My sister put up her house. Sad.. No one should go to prison for a lot of this registry.

While in prison I had the mistake to tell one of the cell mates my crime and the guy was ready to kill me. In fact he told the guard if you don’t get this guy out of here I’m gonna kill him.
How people interpret this sex offender thing unjustly. Course the prison ministry was good which I got to participate in that weekend and very inspirational here in Virginia.

Course all that’s under the bridge and we all need to let those types of things go yet we still press on for our freedom.

The one thing I will never forget is how nasty the mattresses and pillows were. They had stains and stunk to high Heaven. And even though the sheets were washed, the mattresses and pillows were rarely changed out. Oddly, after some time, you stop thinking about them and just accept it.
I always tried to think it was better than probably being in prison in a 3rd World country.
