Why not let the state make businesses that the prisoners would work,drycleaing, assembly or whatever, services to the outer world, worked IN the prison-this will solve a couple problems-
1-they will be paid real wages,and a portion will be kept out automatically for thier room board food whatever
2-they will learn a skill and responsibility
3-another portion will come out for thier CHILD support, freeing the state from having to take care of all the prisoners kids on the outside
4-We dont have to pay for the upkeep of criminals since that will be deducted from thier pay
5-What do YOU think?

My 17 year old son got into some legal trouble in the early spring. We have been to court several times and the judge imposed a curfew of 8 pm nightly. He has complied and never missed his curfew. His probation officer explained that as long as he is with his parent(s) he doesn't have to be at home as this isn't house arrest just a curfew. In other words, he can go places with his parent(s) after 8 pm but not alone. We notified probation that we would be out of town for the weekend to see the Green Bay Packer, Pa Eagles game and the court refuses to let him attend with his parents. My question is this, if he has a curfew and is suddenly being told he cannot attend events with his parents (that was not stated at any time during any court appearance or in any papers) is it considered double jeapordy? I am in no way defending what my son has done, but more trying to understand what they are doing. btw, every time I call probation, they never give me a straight answer, just the run around

I let my friend borrow $1500.00 in December 2006. I told her to not worry about paying me a lot back.. just pay me when she can. She didn't pay me back at all.

In June 2007 I still didn't get anything from her so I offered the money as a gift... cause I figure I wasn't gonna get anything back. She said no its cool.. you'll get your money.

I found out later that around the same time she borrowed from me, she has been letting some guy borrow money from her that is of smaller amounts (like $25.00 here and $15.00 there). .. but never paid me anything from DEC-JUN.

We went to best buy and she mentioned something about wanting to buy a WII for her daughter.

In August 2007.. still. I tell her I feel I am being taken advantage of. She gets mad... she sends me $50.00 and says she'll start paying me but for me to never to talk to her again. I send $50.00 back saying the friendship isn't worth it.

I work at a check cashing store in L.A. as a teller. My drawer is never in the negative at the end of the day, but yesterday I was $50 short. My manager wants me to put the money in out of my pocket or get written up. This doesnt seem legal since I'm sure the place is insured or can write it off as a loss. This is the first time that it's happened and I think my boss just wants me to pay it so she doesnt lose money on her monthly bonus.

Like the gays who abused the boy because authorities too scared to investigate for fear of being called prejudiced? Like the criminal who is not stopped for fear of the victim or the police being called a racist?

An agent who used to let out my property is letting out my property without my consent and is not giving me the possession of my property. And he takes all the money from the tenants and gives me nothing. He threatens me at times and tell me to do whatever I want to do.
I have served the occupiers a notice under section 21(1)(b) and 21(4)(a) making sure any tenancy agreement they may have done with the agent comes to an end. Did I do the right thing? Now I am waiting for the date to get over so I can get a CCJ and bailiff and get the occupiers out of my property? This is the right procedure or what can be done? I cant afford a lawyer. Please help. Thanks

My roommate gave me a $20 check for our cable bill. I cashed the check within 2 weeks of her giving it to me. Now she is telling me that by me cashing her check it caused her to overdraft, and all her other transcations overdrafted because of it. Now she is saying that it is my responsibility to cover the $210 worth of overdraft fees because "its my fault" for not cashing her check right away.

The laws in Europe and Canada are like 18 to drink, Prostitution is legal is some parts and showing skin is alright to them. Why Can't the United states lessen its harsh laws, we should have way more freedoms.

If by "our law", Someone who knows and stands by watching of a crime is complicite to the crime, then wouldn't God be a criminal? ( since god is all knowing and has the power & ability to control/intervene )

And, If thats the case why would people look up to him and worship someone like that?

I had a makeover and was not given a pricelist for photographs-when we went to see them I was not happy with them but my partner got carried away and ended up buying a disc of the photographs on his credit card (to obtain the shared copyright) costing several hundered pounds. The next morning in reterospect he called to cancel. We have not recieved the disc, were not given any information about cancellations nor did we sign anything......We now feel that the manager of the studio is being illusive as he has not returned our calls. Are we within our rights to cancel? Anyone with legal knowlege out there? I have been worried ever since...........
thanks

How does someone forget their child? I don't care how busy they are. It is careless. Not to mention that the woman in the most recent case is an assistant principal. She is not only in charge of her children but in charge of countless others. This woman has no place in charge of any child if she is careless enough to forget her own and allow her child to die in a hot car after sitting there for 8 hours because she was busy inside the school.
