I just need to vent on how FUCKED UP our "justice system" is...
My fiance has a really bad record as a MINOR.. Nothing extremely crazy just stupid stuff. & got in trouble 1 more time at 18 years old. the court system used his record as a minor against him & turned one of his charges as a MINOR (15 yrs old) into an ADULT Strike & now had to take another strike & serve 2 years in prison on a higher security level because of his "prison prior" which he served in juvenile hall for a few days!! so him being the only financial support his family has, the fact he turned his life around completely when his son was born, works 40+ hours a week, is currently going back to school, is an ACTIVE member in a church group, & has not gotten in anymore trouble means nothing. I completely agree he should have consequences for his crime but seriously? your taking away a dad to two babies, & throwing a 19 year old dad who's trying his best in a high security prison because of an "attempt to commit a felony" no chance of probation, even asked the courts to send him to a men's home because he deals with addiction & that's the whole reason for the "attempt" but no.. sending someone to prison seems like the Better choice.... way to go justice system for failing us once again!
