Im doing my proyect for my LAJ class major and I decided to focus on Women In Prison but It is too hard to see little kids there. I just came away with the conviction that persons (Women) who has been abused shouldn’t be punished twice because many of them ended up in prison because they were abused horrendously.

En muchas ocasiones la justicia es doblemente ciega y mas si se es pobre.

I once was one of those women. Lost and confused and had no hope for change, but something inside changed as I walk around those four walls. I have been out for 4yrs, and the memory still lives in my head,lonilessness, sadness, and fear. In and out of jails and prison for over 20 yrs, because of my addiction. I don’t every want to go back. There is hope for those women if they want change, and if they are there for life, they still have a choose to be free…As long as they still have dreams there comes freedom.

That’s really sad.
I’m writing a novel based on a girl and her experience in a prison!
I might learn alot by just writing it, experiencing is wot i can’t even imagine doing.

These women have clearly been hurt far worse than any of us leaving comments. I cannot imagine having been abused or molested or criticized all my life.

What can be done to help these women and their children? What can be done to help them break the cycle?

This photographer shows the wisdom and fortitude that few people have in this socially ignorant society that we live in. It is no surprise that the “Charlie’s” of the world are in decision making positions for our justice system. The fact that these women are in prison with no convictions is the wisdom of these pompous idiots. Quite frankly, I was very impressed with the beautiful shots of mothers caring for their young. Just goes to prove, even people that are treated as animals, do not need to treat others the same way.

It’s good to know their prison system is breeding a new crop of criminals even as their parents are locked up. These people shouldn’t be allowed to bring a child into the world, they can barely handle their own lives. Disgusting.

What crimes did the children commit to deserve a sentence along with the parents? They played no part in being able to choose whom they are born to. It is despicable that such kind of breach of basic human rights are allowed to happen in the modern world.
