So many Innocent people are suffering. In our prison systems. Ant this Problem will end up touching reaching all of us. We must become aware of this travesty. Innocent people are suffering intolerable cruelty. Stop and Change. Make a difference. Do Unto others as you would have them do unto you. These are our children, We live in the United States.

It seems to me the system has been hiding prison cruelty for a very long time & to so many people. I never have & never will comprehend people who are capable of such horrible acts. It doesn't seem the 'system' is doing much about it but if we all gather together, someday they will have no recourse but to change things.

I believe that it was in the early 90's that the state hospitals stopped accepting patients that had commited a crime. That is when this barbaric treatment began. Please don't think that I'm excusing any of these people, yet you need to know that prison guards were not trained in how to handle a mentally ill person. There are no social workers, psychologists, etc. in the system to help either. Many prisoners don't even get the medication that they need. What needs to be changed is that these people don't belong in prison to begin with. If they are being evaluated mentally and they have been charged with a crime, then they need to go to a forensic hospital. I am a mental health advocate and this is something that I've been fighting and will continue to stand against.

I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE TRIED AS AN ADULT EITHER, FIRST OF ALL, EVERYBODY HANDLES PRESSURE DIFFERENTLY AND WHO KNOWS TO SAY THAT HE DID GO TO SOMEONE AND THEY NEVER HELPED HIM OUT. AND WHEN WE SPEAK OF PRISONS GUARDS PLEASE..THEY LOVE THE SYSTEM JUST TO BULLY THE INMATES. THE GUARDS LOVE MESSING WITH YOUR MIND, SO DOES THAT GIVE THEM MORE RIGHT TO MAKE YOUR MIND MORE CRAZY THEN WHAT IT IS. ALSO ONCE YOU DO YOUR TIME IN PRISON THE WORLD CONDEM YOU FOREVER ANYWAY, SO WOULD THE WORLD UNDERSTAND ABOUT A PERSON MIND.

Yes a good majority of these prison guards should never be in their positions are "caretakers" of the prisoners - the abase them, and some of the acts perpetrated on these poor souls is absolutely criminal - and it has been going on for eons - and they have gotten away with it - something has to be done about it PDQ!!!

I watched az turn into a police state and I did NOT realize how bad it was until I left to SF,Ca for 11 years and 3 people I know committed suicide to NOT go back to prison for YEARS behind a dirty UA, when there are cameras in the skiis running survellience 24/7 They don't know where the drugs are? We believe they purposely r doing this, because we r next to mexico and cali so they CAN pay their bills ! It is disgusting and it will get much worse if we do NOT stop it, as they r NOW making INSTA-felons out of ALL our kids ! Yet there are several people that have gotten away with murder (literally) So they send half our youth to fight and die for THEIR corporate pig war and they want to imprison all the rest 85% of prisoners are behind drugs ! we spend $50 biilion a yr on incarceration and ONLY $8 billiona yr on EDUCATION ! Tell me what do u think????
