Penalization is one thing, but...'Cruel Abuse' is another. It is unthinkable that in GA, in these United States of America, this is a …travesty… which is presently occurring! Yet, we trust Jesus! And in the Strength of Almighty God and all He Is and will Ever Be… we Press on! Amen

There yonder… in Dekalb County Jail sits an injured …male enduring…intentional…suffering and pain For, though…he begs for prescribed meds he is daily served …abuse…instead as he begs for…help…in vain How does he stand and go through the lashings of such …diabolical hew? he remembers his...Lord and Savior...reigns One knows not just how long God will allow this horrific song yet, still…despite shameful evil, there’s gain… Prayers …faithfully uttered… are reenforced by a man's righteous…mutter and miraculously…Jesus and he, persevere…sane Within inhumanity’s…vicious gruel a defenseless man’s soul, silently drips...cruel… in Dekalb County Jail …chained Ps 20:1&7, Job 23:8-10, Ps 13, 2Corn 4:7-10 ©jmsbell-9/22/2023

Joyce! It's instances such as this that make me "boil over" with the stupidity of humanity in cases such as this. What has happened? The hatred! The anger! The shootings! The planet earth is "talking"! Karma! Karma, my friend!

Love ya!

A powerful message.

While I'm not sure exactly what is happening to this particular young man. Here in Houston, at the Harris County Jail, since the pandemic, things have gotten quite out of hand to the point where inmates are abusing other inmates, inmates are dying and even the jailers are being beat up and dying.

I have a caregiver whose son was working there and when his best friend was beaten to death, quit and is entering the Houston police force instead. It's that bad, even though the jailers are paid handsomely. It's just too overcrowded and out-of-control.

Too many young people being jailed for minor offenses like marijuana possession, speeding or drunk driving. Then get into serious trouble in jail and unable to get out of the lifetime imprisonment cycle they are forced into.
