This quote: 👉"they went to bed hungry on a regular basis." 😡 @FL_Corrections & @Aramark, on a daily 2000-calorie diet, why are so many of the incarcerated going to bed hungry in a regular basis??? #fooddesert@FLSenate@MyFloridaHouse
Why are we not training those inside our prisons, then releasing those who have served reasonable time and are not a threat to society so we have more employees.
My husband has served 20 years of a 30 year sentence for stealing 6 DVDs. He is an electrician, HVAC, truck driver and numerous other things. He could help on the labor shortage, earn a living, collect social security credits, have medical care, be a taxpayer and save the taxpayer incarceration costs.
Bring back parole!
The contractor can do better than this. The peanut butter is so stiff and tasteless it is barely edible. Is that really 1/2 cup of potato salad and cabbage? I also thought substitutions were limited to a certain number per month. Cabbage all the time, almost daily is too much!
Note: in FL less than 4% have “PAYING” jobs, some making less than 21 cents an hour.
“No matter how many hours I worked, I couldn’t afford toilet paper, soap or toothpaste. We had to pay for basic hygiene products at exploitative markups, way more than they cost in free society, and I was paid 10 cents an hour. To survive in prison, even with a full-time job, I was forced to rely on family, who struggled to support me financially.”
The 'Sunshine State' is the biggest oxymoron for the incarcerated. Between the 'mats' that they sleep on, the slop that they're fed, the heat that they endure, the sub-par medical treatment; FL is a far cry from its moniker! #visitaprison@AdvocatesFL@florida_cares
