State: California
Text (O): A lot has been written Original Dorotik CA A lot has been written about the prison system lately -- why we as a nation incarcerate so many, why the bureauocratic and unweildy system is only expected to make minimal cuts to its 11 billion dollar budget while education and social supports are slashed to the very core, why California's prison system has the highest recidivism rate of any state in the nation?

Text (O): Most of us believe the parole board Jane Dorotik Most of us believe the Parole Board Commissioners have a very serious job in determining who should stay in prison and who should be released.

Text (TR_WF): Voices Through the Walls RE: Reflection on the work of dealing with time... Curtis L. Downing, Indian Springs, Nevada In the years that I've been incarcerated and reflecting on them, so many things come to mind and almost so fast that, I can hardly write fast enough to get my thoughts on paper.
