The letter: “Urine toxicology, like many medical tests, is imperfect. … We have personally had some of our most successful, stable patients test positive for substances they did not take due to false positives.”

The prisons are a huge money making machine. They don’t care about the humans lives or the struggles they go through daily. Fed crappy food, despite the menus they show the government they get fed good, if a small cup of hummus n 5 pretzels is considered a healthy lunch for a grown man, or chicken organs that composes of a tablespoon and a tiny red potato and a hard dinner roll consistent of a healthy dinner , breakfast is mush, they are starving inmates. Doing the bare min to fed them or how about they get 1 thin mattress pad to sleep on with 1 small blanket and a small pillow sharing a small 6 ft x 12 ft room with 7 other inmates . Prisons are cramped, giving the appearance they do wonders for inmates, it’s human cruelty and no one cares or does anything to help. All they care about isalung sure people don’t get out to support their fat salaries. Or how about those that were wrongfully convicted because of a corrupt judicial system, there’s no get out of jail unless you confess to a crime you didn’t do. It’s time the parole board gets terminated and let the inmates go their time n go home, no parole, no hot list. If they’ve done there time they need to be set free. And if they choose to have a better mattress or more blankets, allow them to buy them if the prison refuses them and if they can’t provide decent food they need to give each inmate a monthly spending allowance for canteen .
