I stopped reading the article after a couple of sentences.

It’s simply too sad.

I saw this some time ago and was sad and angry. I thought about sharing but decided not to. Glad it is being shared on social media so that persons are aware of what shouldnt be happening.

I’m not reading the article,

But the way we treat our incarcerated population is abysmal.

They’re still ■■■■■■■ humans.

Not only that
One could argue criminality is a behavioral health issue.
Retributive law is outdated
I wanna see some goddamn correction!

I don’t know about that one.

Kind of a loaded statement.

But I too want to see a lot of change.

One of my dearest friend’s husband is a federal judge.

Even he knows the system is ■■■■■■.

Probably more than anyone.

We can agree to disagree you’re not the first person that has expressed some sort of attachment to retribution when I’ve discussed this topic in the past

Well I agree with that.

And I don’t completely disagree with your statement.

I’d get into details, but I feel we’d be chatting all day.

The first show I ever really cared about and was obsessed with was Oz.

It’s very close to my heart.

So prison has always kind of been interesting to me in a weird way.

I also have a very close friend that was sentenced to ten years.

I’m trying to write him and put money on his books.

Prison is a bad place.

That rap by Poet in the opening scene about the Marlboros was funny.

Yeah, he smoked Newports.

I just put it on the TV when I don’t have anything else to watch.

No idea how many times I’ve seen it from beginning to end, but I’ve got it pretty much memorized.

I have met some of the actors and am sort of connected to some of them by association
I prob shouldnt dox myself

So in your opinion what does the show remark upon in reltion to penal system and america? What is the conclusion of the show? Because i understand the thesis i think.

Like I love the thesis of the wire but I don’t agree with the conclusion that the game will just continue to happen you know regardless of your interactions with it. @Charles_Foster

Well, you’re ■■■■■■ now.

I need to know.

My sister is a somewhat well known costume designer that’s worked on some major projects.

She’s met a few of the actors on the show, but wouldn’t give me details because she’s a professional.

Sucks.

Wish she were more of a gossip.

I’ll have to pull my Oz thoughts together to answer that question.

Honestly early mornings aren’t my deep thinking hours.

I also love The Wire and was only consoled about Cyril’s (from Oz) death because of that show.

I forget how much about alcoholism it is.

God, HBO used to be so much better.

It’s still good, but those two shows really got you in the gut.

I really shouldn’t talk about it because it is identifiably gossip
