Someone DIED. They possibly have parents & chlidren. They may have been accused but not convicted. They may have been merely destitute (a crime in our culture). It is a spiritual time of year, good for both renewal & forgiveness.

Thank You. Everyone is deserving of love and understanding. Judging and condemning give people this false sense of superiority that makes them feel good about themselves. But it does nobody any good. Its part of the hurt that causes people to act in ways that put them in jail or hurt others. Judging, condemning, makes for a small, limited world.

dont hold your breath folks. this will most likley be yet another death due to the piss pore murdering FOR PROFIT MEDICAL company known as California Forensic Medical Group. With some 90ish percent of county jails and 95ish peercent of juvinile detintion facilitys under their belt in California they have been credited with a 50% increase in inmate deaths. Why you may ask…. FOR PROFIT MEDICAL!!!!!!!!! I mean really their contract states that any money that they bid the job at that they dont spend providing mental health, medical and dental care they may keep as profit…..for services they fail to provide! After all its only inmates. just Google CFMG lawsuit and see for yourself. 0r fo;;ow this link http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article72nd read the article
