Yeah, I was the ONLY guilty person in prison too. Although I was
manic when I committed my crime, all I wanted from the judge who
sentenced me (and I didn't have a trial) was treatment both IN prison
and when I was released. It was my way of making the government PAY
for my treatment.

When I got out, if it weren't for the fact that I had dual supervision
by the FEDS and the STATE, I wouldn't have gotten ANY post prison
treatment, but even that ran out after a year (with 1 1/2 years left
on supervised release). Suddenly, the doctors I went to who were less
than 5 miles from my house (I had no car and took the bus) were
suddenly dwindling and I'd have to travel for 1 1/2 hours plus walk
about 2 miles to get to the next closest doctor still treating
patients in the system.

I think this will be my second time I'll agree with Dr. Feelgood, more
politicians SHOULD be in jail...

I always wondered why some states prohibit prisoners from voting after
they've been incarcerated (doesn't apply to me). Wouldn't it make
sense that if a law put you in prison that you disagreed with that
when you got out you should be able to VOTE or run for OFFICE to
change that law? Consider the people that smoke pot...
