Where is the truth in freedom for an offender in the Virginia prison system? I can’t stomach the hatred of how we are picked over and left for dead and just deserted like we don’t matter. Becoming better is a joke, and only matters when there is a political campaign, or there is some type of publicity that can be gained from it. There is no real attributes, or positive gains from being incarcerated. I’ve seen only those who refuse to change or cause the most drama be put on a silver platter and give them the opportunities that they don’t deserve but those like myself who are modest, and are changing to become better and want more out of life, or not given the slightest time of day. How can we have a successful rate of offenders who don’t return when the system refuses to give the proper attention and use the resources to better place that offenders on the right path to a successful stories and not a negative one. Determined to break the barriers of how offenders are displaced and looked upon. There is a lot of offenders with Success stories that need to be shined upon, but it’s a very difficult task when you are neglected and pushed to the side for those who don’t care to change at all. So when we are categorized into one big circle of negativity and just looked at as one and not an individual.
