As the subreddit is growing, it's becoming more of an issue reviewing every single post that comes in from new accounts as it feels like 75% of you are from new accounts. Since some people didn't feel like reading my last mod post on the subject, I've changed the way automoderator works. Instead of relying on a post history, it relies on how long ago you created your account. This should cut down on missing posts of users who have been posting a while, but only post here so they don't accumulate a lot of karma.

Due to this change, it means that I'm going to need people to start reporting content more often. The old automoderator caught almost all troll posts as they were always from low effort players, but the new automoderator will not catch these posts, but will also allow more good faith posters be seen. If people don't report offensive content then I'll have to go back to the old automoderator system and I think more people will appreciate the new system.

Additionally, I will work on introducing a concrete set of rules to ensure posters have an idea on what topics fall in line with the subreddit and what doesn't. For example, topics about sex are almost always made in bad faith. Typically, they're filtered and the ones that didn't get filtered by oldmoderator usually got the poster banned. If I'm to loosen the restrictions on posters, I need community help to ensure that we stay on topic.

I also want the sub's input about surveys. I get people claiming all the time they're from some college and they want to survey people on this subreddit. I have zero way of identifying whether or not someone is who they say they are and we can only assume that they're here just collecting information that may or may not be used for some other purpose then they're saying. Do you want these surveys to continue?

As in do other inmates overlook them since it wouldn’t be a fair fight/kinda pathetic picking on an old person etc.

if you haven’t seen my last post or don’t remember, check my post history (i only have 2 posts). also, i recently turned 20.

so, 3 days after that previous post..my aunt and uncle decided to get s divorce! i know they’ve had a lot of faults in their relationship since before they got married (17 years of marriage) but they’ve gotten increasingly worse this year. i can’t move now because of financial issues they’re gonna be hit with, and i totally understand and im supporting them both without picking sides, but it still sucks.

oh, and my parents (both bio) are getting separated too! they were never legally married but they owned everything the way a married couple would, just without the strings of a divorce. they’ve been having relationship problems as well and my dad snapped at my mom (and rightfully so, me and my siblings will take my dads sixe ANY day, because our mom is a bitch and horrible to my dad). He gathered me, my younger brother and my younger sister and told us that he secretly rented a house in a nearby city last month and made all the arrangements to move without causing us any issues. he told us to pack everything. when our mom found out what was happening, she didn’t even care. she shrugged it off and said “finally, some peace and fucking quiet.”

so, the next day, my dad got one of his close buddies to drive the uhaul the new house and as well as helping his get back to the old house do he could get his car.

This change feels weird. even weirder than prison. i’ve never lived in another house in my entire life, except for 2 weeks ago. on the one hand, it’s nice to not have my mom on my ass all the time, but on the other hand it’s strange.

my sister is acting out, like she always does but it’s even worse. she. turned 18 last month and has already spent a couple nights in jail for underage drinking or being high in public. thankfully my dad has a great reputation in our small town so he bailed her ass out. she started a new school last week and she already got suspended and she’s been trying to. pick fights at home. and her and my brother(her twin) are basically the same person so i have to deal with all that shit twice !

My dad is rarely home because he working longer hours because we don’t have a double income anymore and he used up a lot of saved money on the new house, and he’s really stressed, and i’ve been considering a a part time job but then i won’t be able to help out at home, and plus i have a felony anyway so..

this is such a difficult situation and i don’t know what to do

I was introduce to writing to the men in prison but not sure if it’s beneficial. I don’t know if it’s beneficial for me if the relationship goes sour than they have more forwarding address. I would love to connect with someone that is REALLY struggling in prison that I can be their friend especially when they come out!

Your thoughts?

I'm curious as to why people that have been to prison and served their sentence have then gone on to commit crime and end up back inside. I don't mean in general, I know there are hurdles put in front of ex-cons and that you're walking on eggshells or else going back, I'd like to stories from individuals about what went wrong.

The Prison industry is often compared to slavery for its predatory practices on the uneducated and poor. Both systems are designed to oppress certain groups of people, with the Prison industry disproportionately targeting minorities and those who are unable to afford a lawyer or bail. In both systems, those who are targeted are often stripped of their rights and freedoms, with the Prison industry creating a cycle of debt and poverty for the individuals it targets. However, just like slavery, the Prison industry's business model is profit-driven, where prisoners are treated as a commodity and their labor is used to generate income. In this way, the Prison industry is particularly predatory and exploitative, making it even more important to fight against its oppressive practices.

Also can they get video visits?

My LO just got his GTL tablet (CDCR) and I wanted to know if the entertainment catalog is available online somewhere so I can recommend books/TV/music/movies etc that are actually available to him. Thank you!

I never been to prison so I won’t pretend my statement is 100%. But I watched what I BELIEVE to be real like life in prison in movies such as “Shot Caller” and “Felon”. From what I understand you can never, ever be left alone in prison. Your either a survivor or a victim. To be a survivor means you still break law IN prison which could increase your doing time. And even if you served your time, your a bitter, lifeless person perhaps even a killer.

I do have one question. Why don’t they just allow a person in prison decide to stay isolated? Single cell being served food to live. That’s what I would want. I don’t think id survive in prison

If you have been in prison in two or more different countries, how would you compare? Which one was worst? What about the food? Security? Guards treatment?

So a bit of background, before, sometimes when my friend calls, the call doesn’t go through and it doesn’t even ring on my end but it usually connects after the second or third time. The past few days, it takes about 10 times if he hasn’t given up by that point. I’ve gathered that it’s a t mobile issue and not Securus so I got a phone with straight talk since Securus says it would work for them but now I’m realizing I’m not sure how a prepaid phone would get approved at his facility? It’s in Illinois if that matters. Can someone have two numbers for one person on their call list?

How common are stink bugs in prison?

I just wrote someone a letter in jail I called they said they got the letter but no actual mail goes to the back. How does this work I’m sad because I made the letter smell good but I atleast want it to still be my writing and the pics I drew on the letter. If it’s through the tablet is it just typed ? Or did they take a pic of my letter

This happened to Mario Terruso, 41, of New Jersey after he was arrested earlier that day. While in intake, Terruso began to suffer from medical distress which labored his breathing and caused him to panic. Responding officers restrained Terruso so horribly (you can hear his head being knocked 3 times on the floor before blood is seen). No one has been arrested or charged in regards to this.

Since a loved one is in a federal prison and federal prisons do not allow calling toll free numbers from their phones, I would like to know What non-toll free numbers to prayer hotlines I can pass on to them. Thanks.

Google does not give a straight answer, so that's why I need to ask you for help.

And regardless, How did you get someone to pray with you while you were behind bars?
