Long story but worth the read
I was a C.O. Got sent to prison for assault (there’s already a thread- https://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/g...june-10th-wellness-check-says-hes-ok.1225290/)
Anyways I’m in a federal halfway house and scheduled for release soon
So my lawyer And therapist spoke with the director, my PO, and a rep from bop (bureau of prisons)
Trump is cutting bop budget so they have to hold people longer, past their home confinement date due to budget restraints. It’s legal because until my official out date I’m still considered an inmate. So they have to fill halfway houses And not let people go home. That being said, it’s going mean pay cuts across the board which means staffing shortages. Also because prisons make money, people behind the walls release date will be pushed back as well. They’re going to start closing mental hospitals, cutting insurance and nursing homes etc will lose funding. So if yall got loved ones behind them walls be there for them. As a former CO, these shortages mean more lockdowns “for safety of staff” , less visitation, programs, etc
Please check on your people in these nursing homes too because ain’t no telling his much it will effect healthcare smh
