My Way or the Highway

Spending time with family and friends is important for everyone. For those who are confined in institutions, visiting time with family and friends is precious.

A couple of visitors drove over 150 miles to come see me last night. However, we only had 40 minutes to visit out of the one-hour scheduled time. Though they arrived on time, the deputy did not process them in on time nor took me to the visiting area on time. Yet, when the visiting time reached an hour, the deputy rushed us to end the visit.

I can understand if that's an isolated incident, but it's not. The truth is, the law makes the rules and the law can break the rules.
