First of all, understand that I don't have any problems with you as a human being, however, it is your biased views against a segment our society that disturbs me. You're a young man, and I pray that you never find yourself in a situation where you'll face jail or prison time... not that I don't think you won't make it, oh you'll make it alright, but then we may have the makings of a new David Koresh, or a Timothy McVeigh on orur hands. Because, you would become very embittered towards our justice system, hey its' not fair, but remember its a business... look at the name UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN, INCORPORATED., AND, EACH STATE OPERATES AS A SEPARATE BUSINESS ENTITY, AS PART OF A CONGLOMERATE CORPORATION.

Once again, I'd like to stress that I don't have a problem with you... just your views on certain things, you are probably very good at what you do in your day-to-day profession, I tip my hat to you... but, sometimes we as a people need to stop and think before we speak... and if we do speak up, at least have all the facts in order to back up what we speak upon. Have a wonderful day!

As a broker as you call yourself. Surely, you are aware that the SmithBarney, KidderPeabody and other major brokerage houses owns General Dynamics, whom contract prisoners to build weapons of mass destruction under the cover of some small unheard of stocks, bonds, and other products; note also that SmithBarney and KidderPeabody also owns NBC, and therefore, have direct control over the "fourth estate"(media), and like any business they need to generate "cash flow", whether it is cheap prison labor, weapons of mass destruction, or 'slanted media reports".. you should be a smart man, can should have figured this **** out a long time ago... go do your research before you bad mouth prisoners who keep you alive... this just shows you ignornace of the world in which you live... its all public knowledge if you look it up.

With regards to prisoners. I feel that alot of you are way off the mark. Have you ever been inside a prison? Do you have a family member or a close friend in prison. If you answered NO, then you don't really understand our criminal justice system, because believe it or not your name is bound to come up. As a paralegal, and legal researcher, there are approximately 3.7 million "index crimes" commited each year, and of that 3.7 million. There are approximately 135,000 WRONGFUL CONVICTION EACH YEAR, according to a U.S. Department of Justice publication, under Sage Publications. In 1981, when they began keeping track from all 50 State Attorney General's Offices nationwide, whom obtained there data from Sheriff Departments, Municipal Police Departments, Local Law Enforcement, and the U.S. Government "think tank" called the Rand Corporation -- prisons are a business and like all businesses they need customers/clients/prisoners to survive. It is a multi-trillion dollar a year industry. Whereelse can you produce weapons of "mass-destruction" legally in the U.S., besides prisons, at $0.25 per hour versus paying a defense contractor employee $19.00 per hour and they only have to build one per week, whereas, the prisoners have to build at a minimum of three (3_ per day.

I know about prisons, and know of the injustices that have lead to people being incarcerated, and the underhanded tactics utilized by governments (State and Federal) to hand down these harsh sentences. My work with prisoners was criticized by some, but welcomed by many -- I came through, read their transcripts (Guilty Pleas or Trial and Sentencing) and found errors sufficient to warrant a new re-sentencing hearing, and new trials. I have a 65% success rate, and am very good... attorneys across the country are familiar with my work.

So for those of you who think that all prisoners should be shot and killed, I don't. Granted some need to be locked up, but killing someone for their having committed a crime -- will you think this way when you are sitting in prison falsely accused of a crime? I don't think so... come back to the real world. Former Chief Justice Warren Burger, once stated that "prisons are factories with fences", and he was right. So be awful careful that your next job is not building a nuclear warhead guiding system for $0.25 per hour, and if you have to pay a fine or child support that comes out of your measly $64.00 follar a month check... now do you still feel this way? And, for those of you who have said "they should go to war, hell they build the weapons of mass destruction used in the Irag war..
