Shocking Action

Published: April 8, 2009
Editor:
I was shocked to read in the paper of Pasco Sheriff Bob White's plan to allow county jail inmates to only receive postcards through the mail. I am outraged at this.
The mail is the only thing that inmates have to give them hope in a facility that is overcrowded and offers nothing as the inmates sit there day after day. Most inmates sit in their cells on average at least one year – or at times two years – awaiting their sentences.
This plan not only hurts the inmates, many of whom are innocent, but it also devastates the mothers and other family members who uphold them with our letters. The many brokenhearted families with children in jail know what the mail means to the inmates and to us.
I am disappointed Sheriff White got my vote.
