Subject: RE: TAN #160: Just farTAN' around as usual ...Spent some time at the jail today talking to a guy who, when he appealed his life sentence, got a death sentence handed back to him. (It's since been commuted to life, but still.) He's the one who got busted for a kilo of heroin when he was 18. A genuinely stupid but very nice kid with a really nice family. He's been in nearly 7 years so far. And as bad as U.S. Prisons are (especially for the West), prisons in the Third World put a whole different spin on the word "hell." After that ... everything in my whole day and life seems fanfurkintastic! |
