The Death (Penalty) of Kelly Gissendaner – Where Do You Stand?

By Food For Thought

The Death Penalty has always been and will always be a controversial topic. Taking someone’s life is a hard and permanent decision.

Not even a letter from the Pope himself could save her. The execution had been delayed three times for various reasons, hundreds of people rallied to her support saying she’s changed, found God, rehabilitated, etc, but no one was trying to hear it, especially the victim’s family and the parole board. The guy who actually did the killing received life in prison for testifying against her.

#Prisonworld News – Inmates Fighting Fires in the State of California

By This Country Needs An Enema

SACRAMENTO, California — With wildfires blazing throughout the parched Western United States, the state of California has found a novel, though ethically questionable, way to save money on the state’s safety budget: Send state prisoners to work on the frontlines fighting forest fires for $2 per day.
