Description

After having this discussion over and over, I finally decided I am going to share my thoughts in a podcast about the use of restrictive housing.  I have worked and seen the good, bad, and ugly.  At the end of the day though, restrictive housing is necessary!  I agree that many of our inmates need programming that prepares them for the outside world.  I also agree that many of our inmates are criminal thugs who will not be changed with classes, bribes, or personal freedom.  Two different groups of inmates.  The problem is - these are two different conversations.  Two different groups of social needs.  Not all Inmates are Created Equal!
