I agree with Tishie ....recovery....and mandie poo.There are many who have been incarcerated due to mental illness and the behaviors they entail...and those of us who have relatives or friends or experiences of a more personal nature with the justice system....could use an outlet.After all the prisons are now the new mental hospitals since the major closing of mental hospitals.And I don't believe there has been a background check on every or any one here....so why shun someone due to the fact they have erred?There could be a controlled forum.
