RE: How Effective is Our Prison System?

in #life7 years ago

Hi all from australia. i have spent time in a west australian womens prison just 3 weeks to begin with and then about 4 months down the track a longer 6 month 'stint' for the same or similar crimes. i was 24 at the time and it was for drug related offences.. jail did not offer any form of assistance when it came to succeeding in life after conviction 4 years down the track reffered to the court system again as drugs continue to play a major role in helping me destroy myself have requested a court diversion which is aimed at helping the young offender tackle their drug issues however the system has a lot o flaws and faults.. and the war on drugs in australia , western australia especialy, is beyond a joke... ppl are recieving life sentences for aything over an ounce of meth i believe(i'll dbl check that) i feel that the the legal system is failing us. pls keep an eye out, im yet to post but i intend to share my journey as a nearly 30yo female with a meth addiction goesthrough rehab and counselling and is at the mercy of the court system and surounded by drugs and all i know is hustle tries to become someone who can help to educate kids before they even face the temptation and try and prevent our children making the mistakes i did by learning from mine
