Haha ok those guys give a "bad rap" for the other jailbirds? I know what you're saying though. It's kinda beside the point really. The point was that I'd rather see them put to work than whatever it is they're doing in prison.

i understand. hell, i thought the same thing several months ago. get those fuckers helping to finish the damn construction, etc.

but, i had the volunteer work program fully explained to me, and i agree with it. those bastards that make an effort should be allowed to get out a little early with good behavior. those assholes who don't wanna help, it goes on their reviews for their probation officers once they're out. but it accomplishes more than just getting a few manuel labor chores done. it's like, one big psyche evaluation while you're in there. also, the work release causes a rift on the prison populace. your suck ups and your hardasses. it defines a line for they system to gauge on. kinda like closing off compartments of a sinking ship. without a defining line to cross, the entire populace would mix together freely, and when they leave they'd be more involved in the gangs, etc like you stated. but by giving the prison populace a choice to be one of the "suck ups" and get the ridicule from the "hardasses" it's less likely that the suck ups will screw up again as easily. the statisctics on that are proven, though i don't have them for lubbock county.
