  1. That's sad. I do have a problem with the line that a drug charge is not a serious crime. Yes, it is and that is why he is in prison. However, I do see where they could so some compassion in this situation.

  2. This story absolutely tears me up. Christ we pay federal taxes, I would not see a problem with him being escorted by a couple of federal marshals to the girl's bedside. WTF! This warden is an asshole!

  3. If he was a banker imprisoned for embezzlement, or a politician in for breaking the law, he'd be out. He's served most of his sentence, so why not let him go home to his daughter? The law isn't always equal.

    Nice medicine wheel Prepressology :)

  5. Well, you all know how I like to play devil's advocate. Here's the thing-- in this case, I could absolutely see it justifiable the a young girl should be with her father. But if they allow this just once it opens the door for a whole host of abuses to the system. You can't "take time off" from a prison sentence, and if you could then people would make up all kinds of reasons to get out. It might make more sense, depending on the girl's condition, to have the two meet somewhere in the prison.

  8. Me pregunto que pasará por la mente del Padre sin poder ver a su hija, la unica cosa que si estoy seguro es que se arrepiente de todo corazon de haber cometido los actos que lo llevaron ha estar en prision. :o(
