What I saw seemed like a pretty cushy situation to me. Everyone in there seemed bored and angry. My sister and I started a choir there. We had a little group going and were looking forward to the Christmas concert we had planned to put on. Unfortunately, half of our choir got into a violent fight with some of the other inmates and got transferred to a higher security prison. Like I said, bored and angry.C.J.

All those ...First off, Target is COMING to Calgary. All those used to be Zeller stores will soon be red dot heaven. <br /><br />You may not know but Harper's government is introducing some laws to reform the penal system. As I listened to Toews speak yesterday, I could see that just like education and immigration reform, there are no easy answers.
