Jeffery Morrison
Subject is innocent until proven guilty.
What good are places like Beje Clark? Does anyone placed there ever stay put? It seems like all the police do is waste their time chasing down escapees from that place. Maybe whoever decides who should be housed there needs to make some tougher decisions.
Why do these idiots continue to think that they can run away from this facility like all of it will disappear if they aren’t there? They take off and increase their charges. Do their brains just not work at all?
I think I’ll grow a cute little goatee, so I can be a super cool POS loser with no future.
