NY HAS THE MOST ILLEGAL AND ILLOGICAL REGULATIONS IN AMERICA SO THEY CAN KEEP MAKING THEIR MONEY
This information is mostly learned by those who have been arrested and correctional officers that were willing to confess truth and do what’s beneficial for human life.
Department of Corrections and Community Supervision is now a conglomerate with the parole system. Meaning, the prison system have eyes in prisons and outside of prisons. It’s not about justice or safety. It’s mostly about money because that is our survival tool, and in desperate times, humans really “need”money.
If something horrible happens, the prison system always want to make it seem like it’s not a big deal, so they can get away with not having to go to court or getting punished and even if there’s “good apples” amongst them, they’ll be hated for their sense of justice and consideration.
A lot of intentional, inhumane murders, robberies, raping and much more inconsiderate human activities can definitely be dealt with the prison system since they’re equally corrupt.
Though, the only sad thing about these issues is that a murderer that had to kill one time to save themselves, a thief that had to desperately rob for financial security, or a one time rapist that is psychologically damaged and wanted another person to feel their pain can eventually see the wrong in their ways, forever feel the pain of the crime they committed, and do their time.
Unfortunately, whether you did a crime or are just accused of doing a crime, the prison system will hold you in prisons just to wait for court dates and you will slowly suffer in a place you know you don’t belong if your mindset is not inhumane like the correctional officers that are just doing their jobs sadly and the inmates that truly have that survival mentality. You will just keep waiting and keep testifying whenever you get court dates until you are either proven innocent if you are innocent or you just give up and just plead guilty to have a certain release date, but there are extreme consequences that come along with that.
You will suffer and most likely learn that survival mentality in prison because you will be in a place mostly surrounded by inhumane individuals that have done a lot of killing, gang activities, and more. If you are a one time rapist or an accused rapist, you will have it the worst in prison because they’ll be judging you nonstop and assuming a lot of stuff about you. The prison system will also do its best to keep you in even after you succeeded your release date because humans outside of prison have a lot of fear towards the actual inhumane sex offenders and true rapists. So because of them, you will suffer, and the prison system benefits from your suffering unfortunately. The prison system benefits from all these individuals being arrested, so it is definitely about money because justice fails when you get arrested even though you’re innocent or you did a petty crime, and safety goes out the window when correctional officers are trying to focus on themselves and leave you alone with those who actually enjoy the prison life and you end up traumatized because you don’t belong in the inhumane prison system.
