I know that sheriff is tough there. I've seen him on tv many times and read his book. His name is Joe something.. Anyhow, I can only imagine what that must be like, to be the mother in this situation, worrying constantly. Is your son wearing the pink inmate clothes, or is that just the adults? I remember something about the adults living in those outdoor bunks, with that awful heat.. You guys are definitely in the worse place to do time. I feel bad for you, and I hope that this situation as bad as it is, will make your son straighten up.  |

I was introduced to the prison system many years ago here in California when a college mate I was close to got in some serious trouble. He was a first time offender. It got to the point where it was too abusive just to wait in line to visit him. The stories are terrible and inhumane. The gangs are very bad in the prisons everywhere. My incarcerated friend was waiting in a hall way at the prison medical clinic and an escorted prisoner walking down the hall suddenly lunged upon him, trying to beat my friend up or kill him. It is because the escorted kid had to prove himself to his gang, and they usually pick easy prey to hurt, like older men. In this instance my friend is black belt and kicked him back in the face and the guards saw or else he would of been written up or put in the hole too. Its very wierd to me that someone csn go to prison for using a gun, yet everyday on the prison yard they use guns on the inmates. I think there is only plastic bullets in them, but still. Seems like there are other positive wsys a facility can be run and the gangs can not control. I also think the prison guard union is too powerful and corrupt and that prisons should be privatized. I wish the best for your son and I hope he gets positive intervention on this whole process. Family is so important during this time, give him lots of love!   |

I am so sorry this has happened to Your family CoRyanN...sounds like Your son needs treatment not incarceration, I work with juveniles whom have been in a great deal of trouble and are released to state's custody to begin a very strict treatment program, we begin with their underlying issues first then take the next steps afterward to work with them on other issues....Your son will be in my thoughts & prayers as well as Yourself....I would definitely take a stand on this issue....after Your son is released, I would speak with someone about this entire ordeal...I would "fight" to get legislation changed....change only happens when we stand up, do something about it, I would not give up and do whatever it takes to get positive results, talk about human right violations! even a novice would have a field day with this...I'd take it all to the media., talk to who will listen to you, but get Your son out of there....and if he is not released I would Go to the media I would do whatever is necessary to get the govenor's & state's attention and the nation's attention on this.....The corrections system in this country is atrocious...crime certainly does not pay to begin with.. and there are hardened criminals out there....I think those who murder abuse others should stay incarcerated,but kids with drug/alcohol/emotional/mental,psychological/issues should not be incarcerated with adults to begin with. Again my prayers are with you and Your son, family...please keep us informed how every thing is going....Hugs~....T/C  |

I don't know where to start..lol So I'll start with Ky. If you understood the things Sheriff Arpio has done you would know that is not possible. People have "disapeared" after standing up to him. He has tons of people in his pocket. The District Attoneys office, judges, lawyers, police, and the list goes on and on. He has been investagated MANY times and it always get swept under the rug. There is an ongoing FBI investigation going on now, so we'll see. He is a corrupt power hungry evil man. Also my son is in a Maximum security jail but they have a unit for the juveniles that are being charged as adults so he doesn't interact with adult inmates. He is also on what is called closed custody because of his charges so he is in his cell 23 hours out of the day and when he is let out his is handcuffed, belly chained and shackeled. He is not allowed to come in direct contact with the staff untill the closed custody is lifted. If his lawyer is correct he will be home in 3 months and we can put this behind us. |

Snookem..Ahh the pink underwear..What to say what to say. That was one of Arpio's ways to humiliate the inmates and also to stop people from stealing them. When he realized how popular they were becoming he decided to market them. The funds from the sales were supposed to go towards the jails but he decided to use the money for himself and got in "trouble" for misappropriating funds. A slap on the hand really. Tent city is a horrid place. Thankfully they do not house juvenile inmates there. During the summer the insides of the tents reach 150 degrees. What did Arpio say about that? "If our soldiers can do it so can the inmates". But a lot of the inmates have not been convicted yet, therefore they could be innocent. Do they deserve that kind of treatment? They didn't sign up for that. |

In regards to treatment..We have state aid medical insurance and I had to fight my way through the systym trying to get my son help. At first we were denied saying we didn't try enough of the programs in the community. When that failed they would only agree to a 60 days boys group home. They said because he was not a flight risk he couldn't go to a lock down treatment facility. Mind you I turned in police reports of his run away's. Then they said he didn't have an extensive enough substance abuse problem. That he should just continue with his therapy and 12 step meetings. My son has been sent to the hospital at least 4 times for huffing gas and drinking to much. Does he have to have a needle in his arm before they will take me seriously? Don't they know the dangers of huffing? Don't they know the dangers of drinking 4-5 bottles of robotussin at once? The kids call it robo-tripping. It's all about funding and budget cuts. If I had money my son would probably have graduated treatment by now. But I'm trying to look at this as a blessing in diguise. My son seems so different and mature. Even the way he speaks is changed. He had to learn a hard lesson the hardest way possible, but I think he is ready for change. |

Thank you all so much for your love and support. I felt that USM had a right to know what's going on. Some of you have met me AND Tyson, when he was just a little boy.. |

I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. I do hope that your son starts to take responsibility for his actions or he will be in the prison system for the rest of his life. He needs to get straight and sober. He needs to ditch all his current friends and associates (they will drag him back into this behavior). He needs to straighten up. I'm so sorry that you, as his mom, must live through this also. There is little you can do until your son decides to get his life in order. You also need to realize that the choices your son makes are his choices. He is getting himself into these issues. He is the one making these bad decisions.  |

Thank you Wildbob..I believe that too. I have faith in that boy. He has a heart of gold. You are so right about the rest of us. His sisters don't understand and have watched him do stupid stuff over and over and the cops always being there for him. They miss him so much and it's just not fair! My oldest daughter went through the D.A.R.E. program and had to write an essay and she talked about how she would never touch drugs or alcohol because of her brother and then she described what she has seen him do. I felt awful!! How can you love someone so much and miss them untill your heart feels broken but yet be raging mad at them? He didn't just hurt himself! |
