Because their job is to isolate inmates, they effectively ignore everyone else connected to them and the fact that many families literally do the time with the inmate without having comitted any crime.<br /><br />Apparently I should be grateful for the ability to spend 8 hours in a room with 60 other tables and associated inmates and their families, all competing to be heard, and being treated like children ourselves by having no access to things like coffee or microwaves or even fresh fruit because someone somewhere did something wrong with them years ago, once a year. We don't even get to sit outside, even though there are tables just outside the visit room. In 10 years I have never seen them being used.Silva Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708294658253941514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121150673263413209.post-83940162850653913102016-02-25T20:03:24.033-06:002016-02-25T20:03:24.033-06:00My son has never seen his father outside the visit...My son has never seen his father outside the visitation area. He went to prison two months before his birth. He has a life sentence, which he most likely will not live to satisfy the 37yr to parole requirement. Our baby is 8 now. His dad tries so hard to be part of his life. We are over 4hrs away and our son has asthma. If we get there and he has an attack we have to leave BC he can't have his inhaler. He has to sit still on a bench for the visitation. He wants His daddy to hear him play piano. To watch him do magic tricks. To see him play football. To take him to church not just tell him to go. But we made a mistake and things won't work out for our son and his daddy. It seems to slowly be killing them both. Under an ounce of dope and for that we all lost our lives. You can't go back, but the affects go on and on and on. I wish we could show him videos of our son.
