My dad, who is in jail, just told me over the phone the he hasn't been outside in OVER A YEAR. What the fuck is our justice system? Addicts who need help are thrown into jail for years, their lives destroyed, and yet pedophiles get out in like 2 months. Fuck that. A person struggling with addiction gets caught, put in jail, and their record is fucked forever. They can't get jobs once they get out and they're basically just kicked to the curb by our government. Of fucking course they are going to turn back to drugs. I'm sorry for the vent and all the cursing but I am just so mad right now. My father does not deserve this. He's a kind man who loves his kids and just wants to have a chance to redeem himself. He started doing drugs in like middle school because he was abused and hurt by the people he loved most. My dad has been nothing but a loving father. Its just not fair. And he's not even the only person who has to go through this. Fuck the system. Fuck the police. And especially fuck the government.
