hopefully this will deterr future criminals from comitting crimes, prison rec yards have anywhere from 600 to 900 inmates on the rec yard daily and approx two officers, only the strong survive.

The love of my life is at this prison {Martin Correctional) and I haven’t heard from him since Sunday Mother’s Day…His mother just called the prison and they are on lock down but wouldn’t tell her if her son is ok!! It’s late and she was told to call back in the morning…
I agree with Kat….we need the rest of the story!
