are you scared visiting a jail house? well from my experience as a paralegal volunteer there's nothing to be scared about, it is actually a community in there, there are stores, barber shop,...life did not stop for them when they became inmates, and there are good people too. most of them victims of the prevailing justice system, and of course poverty... how about you? are you scared of prisoners?

It is really bad in there, and smell bad too, hehe, too bad if we don't rehabilitate these prisons and also the prisoners coz there would be no helping these people to change and they would just keep coming back to prison

No, i'm not really scared of prisoners. They're just like us only difference is that they have broken the law some time in their life that's why they're imprisoned. I'm a lot more scared to be imprisoned. I guess you already know what's happening inside prison cells right? I guess it's really nothing pleasant and nobody would want to be jailed. I think it's a pretty bad condition inside prison cells.

well, at first I was scared ... I wore my most decent clothes, did not wear any jewelries , eventhough most of mys stuff are fancy hehe, i did not bring my cell phone and did not bring much money just enough for the transport back...
well in the long run I got the hang of it, almost everyweek I was there to manage cases ...
some prisoners are decent, they even finished college, it just happened that fate was not that good for them..
