Where’s the photo? Corrections has a photo. Why aren’t they releasing a photo?


What an idiot. Throwing away the best way a person can spend a prison sentence. A chance to work outside the gate everyday. Learn the value of a hard days work as part of a team and the respect of society. Go back in and be somebodies belly warmer you fool.
