we are on the same page.
GEO is a huge private prison in the US. i worked there.
the easiest and cheapest way for the US to handle prisoners is to lock them up and throw away the key.
at GEO, there is one small industry for the women.
the men have two major industries and they make around $9.00 an hour. the Chatleff workers have more food in their cells than i have at home!
the woman just eke by..but, that is an entirely different fight that i could have with the US.
there is an 80% recidivism rate for men and only 30% for women.
my brother was reared in the same home that i lived in. yet, he has gone the way of being a bully, steals, lies.......whatever will advance his personal cause. he is 73 and he is still blaming our parents..
i don't know, but your brother may have to have his own lightbulb moment before he decides to change. sometimes a small jail sentence does it. and if he's smoking crack, there will be jail time.
i'm gone all day (big date!!) and will be back this evening to talk.
please do some self-care and i'll be back around.
