RE: Things I Learned While In Jail: The Significance of Literacy - Banned Books
Howdy sir publicfrenemy! very interesting post you have here..I had no idea that Mark Twain's book was banned, that's crazy but then all of them on the banned list sounds crazy. Do they have books available to read in jail, except the banned ones?
I read while writing this that Mark Twain's book is becoming one of the most commonly banned books in the country. I don't believe its on the official banned in the US list, but prominent libraries and even universities have banned it.
They do have books available to read in jail. We had to request to go to the library though and of course my requests were never approved. My situation was actually quite corrupt and i sense an element of foul play because i was transfered so many times to different areas for housing. They refused to give me my medication until i had what looked like seizure abut 6 or 7 days in. I never had my court date put into the system, so i was never picked up for court even though i spent all the past 3 days making sure everyone knew when I needed to go to court. luckily I had a really good paid attorney that mad sure they sent a car specifically for me after they fucked up.
howdy again publicfrenemy! wow, I need to re-read Huckleberry Finn but I thought it was pretty mild as far as racism if you read it in light of the times it was written about. dang.
It's a great book. As far as your experience in jail, that's terrible, where was that?
Yeah it sucks, but it is what it is. Marion county already has multiple law suits against them for this kind of thing but they still continue to do it
howdy again sir puclicfrenemy! yes sir it sure does. What Marion county are you referring to as there are quite a few in the United States?
Indianapolis IN. This place is garbage. Unless Amazon moves their headquarters out here there is absolutely no reason for anyone who doesn't have family out here to come out here. Place is such a shithole in almost every way
howdy again publicfrenemy! wow that's unfortunate. So you are going to try and move or are you stuck there?
I'm on home detention for 180 days, but as soon as thats over I'm more than likely going to leave the country
howdy back sir publicfrenemy...leave the country, like leave the United States?
I don't blame you, where will you go?
