I think you are incredibly brave to have gone to the lengths you have to shine the light on the truth. Bravo dear. I think your picture there says it all. "OH crap what have I gotten myself into!" LOL. Bless your heart I'm so glad you came out of that with only good things and nothing bad happened to you. Whew you have guts woman I couldn't do that.

I look forward to ...Thanks, Phantom.<BR/><BR/>Welcome, Tracy! I look forward to having you around. I'm going to try to put up the next one on Wednesday mid-day. Hope to see you there!<BR/><BR/>Hi, Debbie H. Yes, I was. At that moment, I was thinking something like, "OMG, what do you think you're doing, Pam? Next time you get a brilliant idea, <I>drop it</I>!" LOL! <BR/><BR/>I think officials try to hide this stuff because they know they can get away with it most of the time. Not enough people are asking hard questions. Not enough reporters are doing their jobs, IMHO. I should say that the problems I later unveiled weren't at the jail but rather in the state Department of Corrections. We'll hear more on that from Pamela Clifton.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Ronlyn. Aw, thanks. LOL! And, um, yes. A dragline. It was really more the armed Wackenhut security guys that worried me, but actually I was so hopped up on adrenaline that I was giggling, while my poor Native interpreter was saying, "We have to go! We have to get out of here!"<BR/><BR/>Hi, Aimee. You are so sweet! Thanks! And you're SO right. Most people just don't care what happens to "criminals." Even though it's supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty," people really have an intolerance for anyone who's been arrested until their proved innocent. If they're guilty, well, then they <I>deserve</I> whatever happens to them. Now, there are certain kinds of criminals who don't get sympathy from me — rapists and child molesters in particular. But even criminals are people. Wait till I post about Bible Betty, the very elderly woman who visits the jail for Christian ministry. She had <I>me</I> in tears.<BR/><BR/>And, yeah, I do look young, don't I. Please tell me I haven't aged <B>that</B> much in 10 years!<BR/><BR/>Karen, thanks so much! Likewise! Wonderful that you did some volunteer work there. Yes, that is <I>such</I> an ominous sound. That's part of my next post — the six-inch thick steel door shuts and... It's a different world.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-65119656432434434862008-03-11T03:53:00.000-06:002008-03-11T03:53:00.000-06:00I'm honored to know (at least thru the internet an...I'm honored to know (at least thru the internet and your books anyway) you. I think it's great that you are compelled to go to such lengths for stories that could and have changed lives.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, one summer, I worked teaching male inmates at a county jail. The first time I walked through all those clanging metal doors, I thought I was gonna pee my pants. The whole experience was very interesting, to say the least.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to read more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-67388332834118093782008-03-10T21:25:00.000-06:002008-03-10T21:25:00.000-06:00You know I love you.

And yeah I can relate to your experience because I was once stupid enough be put in jail because I "deserved" to be there... *rolls eyes* I'll tell you the pathetic story sometime. Justice my butt. <BR/><BR/>I don't think you were TSTL, or crazy, I think you were a hero in a system that NEEDS a hero. Period.<BR/>Not that lots & lots don't deserve to be there. I have different feelings about it depending on the crime that put a person there.<BR/><BR/>I love that pic, you couldn't convince me you aren't 12 LOL Such a baby face!<BR/><BR/>I think the officials CAN hide those dirty secrets from the public most of the time because the public doesn't usually care to know what happens to a "criminal".<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to read more Hon!Aimee Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262331450087647829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-6380946934721618292008-03-10T18:19:00.000-06:002008-03-10T18:19:00.000-06:00I love you.
