Is Missouri Dumping It's Prisons???!!!

Hi everyone,

Here's what I've come to notice in the past couple of weeks. I'll tell you why I looked and then, you'll know why I've came to that conclusion.

First of all, while back in Missouri, I went to Walmart with my Mom. That's not news in itself, but here's the way it goes with my Mom.

We went into the place. She got a cart and then proceeded to get those sanitary towels which are bleach based....and then went nuts.
All I can say is I'm damned thankful I'm not a kid growing up in this day and age with my Mom because what used to be spit and what used to be a thumb, or whatever wiping us clean would probably be those fuckin' towelettes.

All I can say is she thinks I'm certifiable because I don't want to "degerm" myself. Fuck, I was raised without them. She was too....and we did pretty damned good, so I don't think a sudden bath with bleach at a grocery or a Walmart will "cure" me.

What's even funnier is I actually said something to her which got her to buy her own...
What's that? You ask!

I told her, "Mom, I've got seven casinos and not a one of the slot machines gets a bath from a customer." All of a sudden, the grocery cart made a beeline for the bleach section and her purse which should be on "Let's Make A Deal" gained another item!

Just the same, where I got derailed in this story is this...she was giving the cart, herself, and my leather jacket a good wash down with the towelettes when she saw a lifelong friend of hers in the hair salon there getting her hair cut.
Mom stopped and of course, that required a good hour long conversation.

What's terrible is while I was standing there waiting, I saw the first Kevin from when I was in prison. He stared, I stared and of course, I thought, "What in the fuck is he doing out??? And, what in the hell is his happy ass doing in Hannibal, Missouri when he's from Sullivan?

Now, let me get derailed a bit more before I say anything else. Sullivan, Missouri is probably a dinky damned town. I can't say because I was too little to remember it well. I'll tell you I've been there, but it was to a "Western Town" in which we rode a little train out to a little western town and it seemed the sole source of us going was to watch a replay of the OK Corral...or some sort of thing. Other than that, the train was cool, so I wanted to go...as well as did everyone else.

Just the same, I know two guys from Sullivan and both of them were total babes. One had the last name of Johnson and yeah, the guy was just fuckin' amazing to look at...and yeah, I had him as a celly...so you know what happened there!!!
Well, I had both of them as cellies and both of them got boffed, so Sullivan rated...I guess.

So, back to me seeing Kevin at Walmart. I saw him, he saw me and he stared. I stared and then, he walked away.

The way it went, is I decided to go ahead and shop rather than wait out my Mom talking with her friend because we'd been there all damned day if that'd happened. Instead, I had clothes to buy for the boys, so I went to the Guys' clothing section.

While in the clothing section, I discovered I was getting stalked. Finally, I turned to him and said, "Listen up, it's me and not no, but fuck no will I lay for you again."

He said, "You look totally different" and I told him about the beating.

After a bit, I cut it short, but I DID make a mental note to look on the prison's website to see who the hell else they let out. You see, here's where I get pissed fast about them letting some dumb fucks out.

In Kevin's case, he got out. Whoohoo, I wished him a nice life and then, he went someplace and promptly fucked up and got himself thrown back in prison with new charges of contributing to the delinquincy of a minor and all that sort of thing one does when he's trying to be a middle aged guy impressing an underage person and getting a piece....
And no, I'm not jealous...I just think it's rather fuckin' pathetic that the fucker can go to prison and get out on a murder charge and then, get another charge, and go BACK to prison and get back out before some damned good people get out.

Just the same, I looked up five people I know to be still in prison. All of them have murder charges and ALL of them are now out of prison.
What's amazing is one of them has been inside since 1986. Another was inside since 1989. One other was in since 1987. Another was in since 1991. And the last was in since 1993. EVERY Single person is now out.

Now, what's bugging me is this...

Believe it, or not, I don't believe the State of Missouri when it comes to holding onto a prisoner for the safety of society. I mean, I've seen them let some absolutely scary people out early and then, I've seen them hang onto others who are better adjusted.
However, let a state get slammed with unemployment like we've got now and a lack of tax income and they suddenly dump everyone they can.
They didn't do it when we had the flood of '93, or any of the other floods...because they might've helped the citizens. Instead, the citizens were begging and our governor smiled...and told them he 'felt' their pain.
Well, now, I guess is a new day and age because suddenly, the prisons are getting dumped and no, the press hasn't been told.

What's alarming is this...the prisons were over crowded with 12,000 people in them. They went up to 20,000 people while I was in there in the '90's and now, I hear they're at 30,000 people. They didn't build new prisons, folks, that's called stack 'em and rack 'em everywhere you can because they're making money. BUT, when they need to feed them...they dump them. Don't you feel safer?

Was that sarcasm? No. That's me as an ex-con looking at what I know they had, have, or had in there and knowing fully well some of those people should've stayed the rest of their God damned lives instead of being released.

What else I'll say is this...I will guarantee you there will be people who get rearrested and have victims which will make you wonder why in the hell they ever released them in the first place.

What am I talking about? Well, I'm not talking about murderers. Believe me, those people are probably the most well adjusted people in the place.

Now, you're probably shaking your head and wondering what in the hell I've got going on in my mind in order to say that, but let's look at it psychologically and then, you'll understand a lot better.

A murderer is a person who USUALLY acted in the heat of the moment. What that means is they get pissed and suddenly they kill the person. It's not well thought out, otherwise, they'd still be out here....or, they'd be in for the rest of their lives without a chance of parole because they're in under Murder 2 which is premeditated murder where they sit and consciously stew on how they're going to do it and then, go do it.

What's different about a murderer is he or she knows they fucked up. They know they're going to go away for a long time, so they go...and while they're in there, they tend to be less serious than all the rest of the idiots.

Why? Well, think about it. They've already done to another person what most of us just haven't fathomed we could do. They know they committed the ultimate sin, so they look at what everyone else does and sort of chuckle at the situations people put themselves in while in there.

What's nuts is the other fuckers in there. Let's say someone gets into raping Grandmas in nursing homes. And yeah, there's on who got out who got off on it. AND yeah, I don't think the fucker will be out here long before he's back to doing the deed again...and yes, I pray I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Others, who were released include one dumb fuck who robbed 18 banks. Yeah, I call him a dumb fuck because this brilliant son of a bitch didn't get caught, he caught himself!!!
HOW??? Ok, let me tell you the story so you know what sort of idiots do these things.
Let's call him Robert. Robert was in prison when I first got there. He met someone named "Quick" and fell in love with the guy. Robert got out and low and behold, he loved "Quick" enough, he found a way to get money so he could send it to him in there.
"Quick" started getting a LOT of money. He got so much money, he came to Kevin and I and asked what he should do with it. Kevin jokingly referred Quick to the caseworker and told him to buy savings bonds. Quick did and it was rather interesting because we'd see on the news where someone was robbing banks and NOT ONCE did we even assume it was "Robert"

Why??? Because Robert was that good. He bought used cars before each robbery and he died his hair and the mustache he grew gray so everyone thought he was a lot older than his late 20's.
Then, he'd rob a bank and he'd be polite...but he'd also knew enough about stage theatrics and the old funky cameras in banks to know how to do his make-up so he really DID look old!

SO, how did he get caught? Here's how. Instead of using a used car which could be burned, he used his new Corvette. Instead of getting to know his Corvette, he left it with the keys in it and it running. He went in, made his withdrawal, and then, had it made...
Why? Because the bank was in a strip mall which happened to have a fitness place which has a shower room and of course, that gave him the ability to shower and dye his hair and be out of the disguise.
Where he screwed up is he went back out and tried getting into the car...which he found himself locked out of...and probably enough feds, locals, and county police around they took notice of someone trying to break the window out of the car with a gym bag! Of course, it didn't help the gym bag was open and shedding money!
So, old Robert went back to prison. He got 20 years and now, he's back out. Maybe he'll stay out since Quick is now out also.
