I would hate to sound anti-personal, and this really doesn't have to do
with a woman's prison. But don't you feel slightly sorry for the people
who have to worry about escapees causing problems. For example that guy
who recently escaped and raped some woman. Yeah he can't reform because
everyone keeps saying he is such a mean guy. Well it doesn't seem like
he is getting there. I wouldn't want to live across the street from a
prison, and I think that most people will back me up on this one. The
person HAD a trial they were convicted of the crime. They knew the
penalties before they were convicted, and now they have to live with
them. I don't have a heck of a lot of simpathy for them. Tough. They
will get out eventually, and then they again will have the chance
to do something about it.
