		<description><![CDATA[@11:

Ah, what a kind, loving and compassionate Christian you are -- I bet you go to church every single Sunday and think you are one of God&#039;s chosen ones, don&#039;t you?

At least Nixon signed Title X -- ensuring that no woman would be denied access to proper birth control materials (such as contraceptives) based on their lack of income -- how&#039;s that stack up against your fellow fascist, Rick Sanctamonious and his desire to keep women barefoot, pregnant (even if raped by their relative) and ultimately without the right to vote?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They let Elwood go home at night?  Good grief!  Talk about high risk!

In college, I spent a couple of days in a max security prison in Michigan as part of somebody&#039;s research project.  Interviewed inmates by day and stayed in a cell by night.  All I remember is being kept awake by the toilets flushing all night and by other strange sounds.  Whatever people did to earn their way into prison, I don&#039;t know how they stand it.  I also interviewed then federal Bureau of Prisons chief, Norm Carlson, in D.C.  He talked a good rehab story.  But it was just that, a story.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As far as inmate loving, asking the families of those who have brothers or fathers who went in for nonviolent crimes but, came out full of rage by a system that sentenced them to not only jail but, placed them in a system where abuse occurred. Not always the hands of the staff. Some accountability needs to occur and what better persons then unbiased individuals such as lawyers and the media? We have got to quit pretending it is alright to allow abuse of any member of our society even the worse of the worse. What happened to rehabilitation?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do not advocate babying an inmate but the consequence of their crime is prison. Incarceration is the punishment but how do we preach rehabilitation when we allow inmates to be abused at will? No wonder the rate of inmate return is high. We get what we create. Feed a man hate and violence and we get the same upon his release. Yes, its hard to stomach some of the crimes these men have committed. But, without the media having access to them, we are blindly paying taxes for an entity that may not be working.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we as a civilized nation of people say we do not care how you treat prisoners we become no better than the worst predator, using power, access, and isolation to commit horrendous crimes. Every inmate is not a murderer or rapist. There are various crimes which justify a prison sentence. Have we moved so far from decency that we justify protecting those who abuse power as workers in the prisons? The media has a responsibility to give us the real deal news not just what we want to hear. Contrary to what some believe there is staff corruption]]></description>
