Phase 1.
I have noticed an alarming trend of people being incarcerated for life for doing a minor crime. The United States claims to be a 1st world country yet the actions and treatment of prisoners and the elderly and the poor in fact, give us a whole new picture!
What are prisoners’ rights in America?
Although prisoners do not have full constitutional rights, they are protected by the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. This protection also requires that prisoners be afforded a minimum standard of living. The word Minimum? must mean a bare existence? I know there is no privacy, whether you are in for a low crime or murder, I know you are chained like an animal, and subjected to unknown types of violence and not just by the prisoners.
How are prisoners treated in US prisons?
American prisons are dangerous. Most are understaffed and overpopulated. Overpopulated earning money for shareholders? check out https://investor.vanguard.com/corporate-portal/
Because of inadequate supervision, people in our prisons are exposed to incredible amounts of violence, including sexual violence.

The next blog will be about a man called M. A. Glaros
CDCR#55488, Michael, who is married and has been incarcerated for 24 years for a minor crime? Why has he been in so long? why has he been forgotten? Why has he had hardly any parole hearings? Lots of WHYS but no answers. Could it be that prisoners work for a pittance? Could it be that prisoners are cheap/slave labour, that big companies use instead of paying a decent wage? The answer could be YES, and an alarming YES… A YES that could bring fear into the heart of an inmate that is in prison for a minor offence knowing that he would NOT get rehabilitation or help to make sure he goes back into society a changed man. But quite the opposite, a man that has been tortured and not cared for will most certainly have nightmares for the rest of his life! A man that could have been home with his loving wife, only to be ignored by parole panels, who don’t really give a damn about anyone? Is this true? so why do they have that job?
A full story will come next…..
Stay safe out there…
