This weekend I watched a show called parole board which I found very interesting. It was about three inmates up for parole for various crimes and they video taped their hearings and gave a blurb about their history and what sent them to prison to begin with.

It seemed to me all the parole board seemed to do to one inmate was wheedle at one man to see if they could get a rise out of him. He did not fall for the bait at that particular time, if I had been in that situation I don’t know if I could have kept my cool. The other two inmates did not get such a hard time as this gent so I will go back to him. He was in prison for a violent offence good enough. But then they asked why a couple of weeks of months ago cannot remember which he had an altercation with another prisoner with a piece of wood in the wood shop. Guess what they are in prison that is why it happened.

All of the people who we tried to avoid in high school, you know the really nasty bullies. All the people since we have left school and met who are trouble makers to the extreme are all locked up in the same place. So guess what is going to happen? Nothing good is going to come of it to be sure. Most of the people put in prison are predators that prey upon the weak. So once locked up in a confined area what do you really expect them to do? They are going to prey on each other, it survival of the fittest in action. Nothing glamorous going on here just plain old survival instincts kicking in.

I think that prison is an animal factory, ordinary people go in animals come out. Most prisoners who go in make a return visit after they leave. A lot of the time it is because they cannot deal with “society” anymore and are not equipped to deal with it after dealing with the prison’s society which is a way different form of democracy than ours.

If you take an animal, cage him and deprive him. Lock him up with other animal and essentially forget about him except to nourish him, leave him to his own designs then don’t be surprised when the animal gets free he goes on a rampage and then ultimately kills. Does not startle me in the least. All the gangs in prison does not help matters any either I guess, if you are not in a gang in prison you are alone and weak. Safety in numbers and all that jazz. Interesting tidbit I seen another documentary on prisons and a bunch of American prisoners said that would much rather do time in Canada because of the better conditions for one. The other reason was not as many gangs or violence to deal with. Anyway must go and get ready to head to work talk to you later.


A woman takes her 4 year old son in for his yearly well child visit to
the doctor. The doctor asks the little boy,
"Do you know your name?" He tells her yes my name is, "Timmy."
And Timmy, do you know your mom's name?
Yes her name is Mommy, said Timmy.
And what is Mommy's real name and little Timmy says, it's "Tammy."
That is great the doctor told Timmy. Then the doctor
asked, and what is your daddy's name? Timmy said it is daddy. Finally
the doctor asked, and what does mommy call him?
Timmy looked up innocently and replied, "Asshole."
