IS IT JUST ME OR IS SOCIAL DISTANCING MORE INCONVIENT THAN IT IS CONVIENT? I CANT REALLY SPEAK FOR YOUR WORLD SINCE I HAVE NOT SEEN IT IN 7 YEARS. BUT BEHIND THESE LUXURIOUS WALLS FORMED BY MOUNTAINS OF ELECTRICAL BARBED WIRE FENCES IN WHICH I RESIDE, LETS JUST SAY ITS BRUNG THE PROPERTY VALUE DOWN A BIT. LOL. START WITH THE MOST FAMOUS SAYING CONNECTED WITH PRISON, “3 HOTS & A COT”. THAT WAS THE MOST GUARENTEED THING YOU’D GET IN A PLACE LIKE THIS. THAT WAS UNTIL LAST MONTH WHEN ADMINISTRATION ALTERED THE MEAL SCHEDULE TO ENFORCE “GOOD SOCIAL DISTANCING”. INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL 3 MEALS A DAY, WE NOW ONLY RECEIVE 2. THEY SAID IT LIMITS THE CHANCES OF SPREADING COVID-19 FROM INMATE TO INMATE. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT TO PRACTICE GOOD SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIRES A DIETARY RESTRICTION? WTF!!! BUT WAIT IT GETS BETTER. TO REMEDY THE MISSING MEAL FOR THE DAY ADMINSTRATION HAVE LOWERED THE PRICES AT THE COMMISSARY, TO ALLOW A BETTER BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. NOW ALLOW ME TO FRAME THE PICTURE. INMATES ARE ENTITLED TO A MONTHLY RATION CALLED STATE PAY. THIS IS WHAT THEY GIVE YOU TO EXIST OFF OF EVERY MONTH. THE BASE PAY FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT A JOB IS $9 A MONTH. IN A PRISON THE HOUSES 1200 INMATES THERE IS GIVE OR TAKE A 150 JOBS. SO THE REST OF THE POPULATION IS DEPENDENT ON THE $9 A MONTH UNLESS THEY HAVE HELP FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE. WHICH MEANS $9 A MONTH MUST COVER YOUR HYGIENE PRODUCTS, PLUS THE MISSING MEAL FOR EVERY DAY OF THE MONTH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT DOESNT. BEFORE I GO LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. IF YOU CAN FEED A STARVING CHILD IN AFRICA FOR $50 A MONTH HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE TO FEED A ADULT MALE IN AMERICA/ I GUESS IT DOESNT MATTER AS LONG AS WE PRACTICE “GOOD SOCIAL DISTANCING”….
