For you and me to live in

The clink is scary. I would cry my eyes out if I ever were to be arrested for a DUI or anything for that matter. I have always always been a spoiled brat living in a perfect suburban town in a decent suburban house with no real drama except typical suburban domestic violence. I know people who may have dabbled a bit in drugs but only on a suburban level (AKA the highest level possible, just above city) and I watch this show Lockup on that MSNBC just mesmerized about how these people can live their lives like they do in prison. Its like they are in jail for committing crimes yet still commit crimes because they have nothing to lose cuz they are never getting out or they go to jail and are gonna get out so they pretend to straighten up and fly right but in fact the recidivism
rate is astronomical. I really really have not pin pointed what about the whole prison thing intrigues me so so much, is it the bad ass hardened criminals, is it the super structured lifestyle, is it the danger involved, is it the crazy crimes they commit, is it the childish meaninglessness of their day to day lives, is it the fact that it makes me feel better about my own life...I just don't know maybe a combinational platter of all those things does it for me...but seriously I used to work with guy whose brother was in Red Onion (SuperMax facility in VA) and when he would talk about visiting I would just wish that I could go with him. but then when I actually really thought about what it would be like visiting that dudes brother I freaked out and would have been too scared to go anyways. I can't even walk into the social services building without wanting to immediately take a shower how the hell would I be able to walk into a disease infested prison to have a little chit chat with a murderer. Oh and well also my fucking head is a scary enough place indeed.

I also think our prison system needs a bit of reform. It boggles my mind the amount of money this country spends on keeping all these people behind bars. Also our country is the only one in the world with such a high percentage of adults in the slammer so is that saying something? are we just criminal happy hoarding them like grandmas stuffed cats? nah of course some politicians are getting massive kickbacks from all the funding and the more we imprison the better business will be so keep on committing crimes out there citizens papa needs a new Bentley.
