I’m so angry right now I could chew nails. I am busting my buns to support my three kids, I can’t afford medical or dental insurance, and we’re eating macaroni without cheese. Meanwhile, my rotten ex-husband is sitting in jail with full medical and dental benefits, eating three squares a day, and without an ounce of remorse for anything he has done. In America we call this justice. What a joke.
When is this nonsense going to end? When are we going to stop rewarding these lazy good-for-nothings with every comfort and benefit imaginable, and start trying to help those who help themselves? It makes me sick to my stomach to think of the money we spend to house, feed, clothe, entertain and provide medical and dental services for this pond scum, not to mention what we dish out for legal fees, while millions of children and senior citizens go without the bare essentials.
In jail, prisoners live like middle-class citizens. On the outside they can’t feed themselves, at least not by honest means. It is no wonder we don’t have enough prisons to hold them all. They’re not being punished. They’re being pampered. That’s why so many keep going back.
I wish my kids could go to prison for a while- at least long enough to get their teeth fixed and to get some eyeglasses. My daughter could even have the surgery she needs. If my mother could go with them, she wouldn’t have to wear two sweaters in the house to keep warm in the winter and she wouldn’t be eating macaroni seven days a week.
