“Convert Prisons To Long-Term Residential Treatment Facilities With Professionally Trained”

The Issue:
The United States of America is the ONLY Country that has Mass Incarcerations and one of few Countries around the World, with the Highest Human Rights' Violations. We also know there is an epidemic in America, of Mental Health Issues, Addictions, Racial Injustices and Anger Issues. In addition, we know that there is an enormous problem within the Penal System NATIONWIDE of Prisoner Abuses, Severe Deprivations and Suicides and/or Alleged Suicides. Moreover, Medical And Psychological Providers, Contracted with the Department of Corrections, around the Country, are not effective. Many Lawsuits have been filed against some of those Contracted Providers, subsequent to the deaths and permanent damages resulting from ineffective surgeries, and inaccurate Diagnoses. We, the People are Petitioning the President, U.S.Senate and House of Representatives, to Pass a Bill to Abolish Life Sentences and to Convert Prisons Currently in Operations, to LONG-TERM RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITIES WITH PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL DOCTORS AND NURSES/PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELORS, OCCUPATIONAL AND PHYSICAL THERAPIST, SOCIAL WORKERS AND GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL THEREAPY, AND GYMS. IT WOULD BE LESS COSTLY TO TAXPAYERS AND MORE PRODUCTIVE, THERAPEUTIC AND SUCCESSFUL IN THE REHABILIATION AND HEALING OF ALL PRISONERS, MEN, WOMEN AND YOUTH. Rather than put someone in prison for 25 years, put them in prison for 15 years with EXTENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT. Rather than put someone away for Life/LWOP, put them in for 25 Years with EXTENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL, ANGER MANAGEMENT, AND/OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT. Prisoners who are extremely dangerous, remain in Long-Term Residential Treatment Facilities, never released. But not abused.

I spent 48 solid hours at the prison. I could not sleep to save my life. My back is killing me. There were lights everywhere, and I had to be awake, present, and verbal at count times of 6am, 4pm, and 11pm daily. I FINALLY slept for 3 hours this morning when they came around at 6am. I need a massage really bad right now. That is definitely not the place for me. No wonder everyone has back issues! Oh, and the shower water stayed warm long enough for me to put shampoo in my hair, and rinse it out. Then it was ice cold. I had respect for incarcerated individuals before, but this brings a new level of respect.

I wanted to share this with everyone here! 23and1.org is a new publication. This was just launched bby an incarcerated individual in Washington State. I’ve been waiting to hear what he had been working on, and just got word that the site is up. Show Bryce some support. Visit the site and subscribe.

This is copied from the site, and tells what 23and1 is about:

Sometimes things happen to us in this life we live, that we are totally unprepared for; a tragic accident, a divorced, the death of a loved one…that completely turns our world upside down. Some people turn to drugs and alcohol to self -medicate, others grow angry and become violent, some don’t know how to continue on with their lives and chose to end it early. There is a common saying that goes, “hurt people, hurt people”. Often times, these people that are hurting due to some unforeseen occurrence, end up hurting others while dealing with their own pain.

That does not make them bad people, it just makes them responsible for whatever mistakes they make while in pain or under duress. Many times, however, these people end up discarded by the justice system, stuck in prison for decades without a second thought.

I am one of these people, and I know many others just like me. We believe that people are much more than our worst mistakes. This is 23 and 1…
