    I had inmates in corrections who were actually scared about being released, I had one woman request to stay longer at a halfway house to save more money for an apartment away from bad influences, and a juvenile who didn't want to be reunited with his family knowing he would be in trouble with the law again. No one should want to be in prison, that defeats the purpose, but some feel like they have nowhere else and will violate their probation to return

    I remember when I got released from prison, I was feelingjust like Jessie. "Lots of choices, lots of freedom, and I was scared to make the wrong ones." And I did. I relapsed not even 48 hours after getting out. The freedom was too much for me to handle responsibly. I risked going back to prison but after a mental breakdown and subsequent detox (i had a trusted sober friend stay with me for a week at my house who comforted me when I was enduring the worst, God bless them) I am now 5 months sober. Its not easy at all but the support system I have gets me through my toughest days. One day at a time.

No training in prison to help her understand how to make different choices??? There should be programs for release. Programs to help them know how to cope when they leave. They set her up to fail. Every government needs replacing with real people who actually care about others.

    Nobody in this life has a clue what is coming down the line in their lives and how they will respond to the circumstances that they find themselves in. But so many feel they have a right to condemn people and assume they would never do such things and they are better. But there are many, many cases of people doing something totally out of character purely because of the unexpected circumstances they find themselves in.
    A hypothetical situation but is often very real: a wife at home with her family happy in her circumstances and living a peaceful life. One night her husband comes home and tells her he is leaving because he has found somebody else. She is suddenly left to bring up say three children with no income and no experience to earn the money that was coming into the family before. Husband disappears and pays no support, she gets a job but can't keep up with the bills and loses the home. Finds a place to rent but struggles with the bills, social service gets involved because there are reports her children are been neglected even though she is doing her best. One day no food for her children so she steals to feed them rather than lose them, she gets caught and sent to jail, kids go into the system and she loses them. Think it can't happen? well think again it does happen and more often than you think and the next case could just be you.

    Ridiculous how our (no)justice system is so unfair! My wife is one of these women, currently serving in a federal prison! Never got help from her attorney and I was even under investigation as an educator who recently retired after 30 years. My wife’s crime was being the manager of a federal credit union which was the 13th shut down in 2012. We didn’t have the money to take her case to a jury and she plea bargained on the advice of her attorney who threatened that even if we tried to take it to court she could be locked up for 30 years. Telling her that being a first time non-violent offender the judge would go easy on her. Her judge recently passed away, during her first attempt at compassionate release. She was charged with eight counts of wire fraud and sentenced to 15 years and a ridiculous restitution at the age of 59. She was manager of the federal credit union for 26 years. The prosecutor likened her case to a ponzy scheme. To this day not one member of the credit union lost out on their money or life savings. I was eventually released from the investigation but at the time had been married to my wife for 30 years. The federal government takes 25% of my retirement for her restitution.

      +BCLR 1703 I think you missed the point. Yes, you are correct in what you said, but, once you did your time and released and it's hard to get a job because of your record, it's really hard to live without re-offending, just to eat a decent meal, a roof over your head every day/night. Yes, they were in prison, jail or whatever for whatever, for whatever bs they put themselves into..or was guilty by association, they payed their dues and tried. The only ones that make it, without re-offending, are those who have a mega strong support group, whether it's family, friends or both. But, with that said, some do make it on they own legitimately. Each case has it's own "after-story".
