This makes me incredibly sad, to see the suffering of 34,000 people, here in America, The land of the free and home of the brave! Now I understand that some of those people are actual criminals and should be punished for their crimes but some of these abuses go against our very constitution, I thought we’re the melting pot of the world. Coming from a person who has a long ancestry of immigrants, from both sides of my family, my father’s mother came to America to give her family a better life and my Mother’s parents came through Ellis Island in 1907. I would not be here writing this today if it was not for the courage and hope that the American dream brings and brought to so many, including my own family!
It is painful to hear the story about Jason Ming and what he had to endure the last year of his life. Being a working, contributing member to society, paying taxes and raising a family and then to be treated in such a way… it brings tears to my eyes to think how he experienced his final moments on this earth. And all this so that for-profit prisons and the politicians they pay can make their $200 a night per person, that is absurd and something must be done!
However, prison reform is coming! If you have not yet seen Obama’s speech about it, you should and you can watch it here. He makes a lot of great points, some that really hit home for me and I hope I can see it happen in my life time. Here at Premiere Bail Bonds we are able to help in cases, depending on where you live.
