I could cry I am so happy for the Mothers, Grammas & Aunts who spend their last dime to visit and send their children boxes & money! The girlfriends denying the children to send something. You cant believe how much increases in postal rates impact this population!<br /><br />Wish a calculation could be made of the real cost of incarceration. How many boxes are destroyed because it wasnt packaged right, or book not from publisher, etc. etc.<br /><br />Smilingl8dyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-38269734891175794522013-08-12T13:44:20.088-05:002013-08-12T13:44:20.088-05:00this is definitely a positive move in the right di...this is definitely a positive move in the right direction. rikyrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982657053583534299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-6407459844107839622013-08-12T09:47:10.638-05:002013-08-12T09:47:10.638-05:00Although many on the left will still consider this...Although many on the left will still consider this "not enough," this is a huge step. And in the right direction. <br /><br />I particularly love the part where Holder said that more crimes would be left to the states, because let's face it, without the states' participation in the Drug War, the Feds are hopeless. And more and more states (including red ones) are saying "Enough with the BS." Our nation's drug policy is a complete failure. <br /><br />And I agree with Vic78 in that I hope that somebody could do something about the DEA. nabsentia23noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-82474579427245714992013-08-12T08:15:35.882-05:002013-08-12T08:15:35.882-05:00I remember Holder saying he wasn't going to st...I remember Holder saying he wasn't going to step down because he wasn't finished yet.
