The system has become a money-making political revolving door. You could be caught up in this system as I am at any given moment. Some inmates are locked into cells that are 6' x 9' and are then only given 1-3 hours outside of that cell. We desperately need to look beyond punishment and get back to rehabilitation. We need to promote family growth.
Texas rehabilitation is very inadequate to the real problems that are currently within our system.
We as a society can help change this. It is, after all, our system. Pam Perillo, Michael Sharp, Karla Tucker, just a few who have confessed to their crimes, yet many years after being in the system, they have rehabilitated themselves completely through the love and mercy of our Lord. I have seen them reach out and put other's lives before their own. Study after study has proven that not to be true.
