Is there truly any justice? Those of us who have loved ones behind bars suffer our own private tortures. I've been trying for moree than 25 years to find justice for my husband, but nothing seems to work. I'll never give up, of course, but it seems to be not what we know but whom we know that determines guilt or innocence, sentencing, releases, etc.
Worse, the general public has somehow been fed incredible misinformation that leads many to believe that prison's not a really bad thing. I know better, as does everyone who loves someone dealing with injustice. Are there others out there who suffer every day this way?

First, May I inquire as to why your husband has been incarcerated? I do agree that the public conception of prison has been greatly distorted by movies,t.v. etc. In other cases the general overview is "out of sight-out of mind". The masses do not really want to know about the operations and running of prisons. If they did they would be greatly surprised.

Wow! I just responded, and the response just disappeared. Here we go again!
My husband was convicted of a murder committed by another man. The man who really did it confessed not long afterwards. The judge accepted the confession into evidence, bt refused a new trial, because he said the jurors would not change their minds. Why couldn't they make that decision?
More than anything, my husband was convicted of being a Cuban from Miami in the early 1980s!
