I was in the county once and the guy in the cell next to me was arguing with the sergeant through the bars in his window. Sarge pulled out a can of mace and sprayed him right in the face with it. I didnt even get directly sprayed and i was having a hard time breathing next door. They just let the dude scream in agony.

Whenever i hear some brutal story about a CO getting poked up or stomped out in a prison, i immediately assume he did something to deserve it. There is very, very little accountability for officers in our penal system.

When someone is 40 years old, he needs to have a drivers license. Like i get punishing people for drinking and driving because thats dangerous and irresponsible. But taking away someones drivers license is like taking away someones way to feed their family.

News flash for any PA state representatives paying attention here: drunks are going to drive whether they have a license or not.

Taking away a drivers license does more harm than good.

I think you'd be shocked to learn how many people are upstate in PA for super petty shit.

PA likes to hand out that 1-5 year sentence for a 2nd DUI (or 3rd depending on ARD eligibility for the 1st one). People take that deal when their lawyers tell them that you'll see the parole board in 12 months and since its your first time upstate and a misdemeanor, you'll be out in 12 months. Wrong. Lots of people up there doing 3-4 years on a DUI.

Good friend of mine is on his 4th year for a car accident on a DUI suspended license. Four years in prison for a car accident? Four years is a long time up top.
