I am watching these DVD's for the 4th season of "OZ" (Who does NOT love that show BTW?)
And they are giving the inmates a pill that ages them. So if you got a 20 year sentence and you are 25 the pill ages you until you are "45" by the pills standards and then they release you back into society.
IF you were in prison at the age of 35 and had a 30 year sentence would you take the pill or wait out the 30 years in the pokie?
-
What are we if not the product of our experiences and memories? To physically age 30 years does not make me 30 years the wiser. Where are my 30 years of thoughts, ruminations, and arguments with The Sandman?
As insane as it might seem, I think I'd opt to piss out my 30 years in the pokie.

Too bad Elan didn't have an 18 month pill.
I'm sure many people would've opted to take it.
i think their stay is much longer these days. Someone told me awhile back it was more like 2 1/2 years?

They claimed it was like 16-18 months maybe less BUT I know a few ppl that ended up there 36 months plus!
IF your parents were paying they milked the poor bastards. I know a girl that was a normal gal but had uber strict Jewish parents and her budding interest in boys and typical girly girl stuff landed her in Elan and she was there a LLLOOOONNNGGG time! She is doing awesome now and I am shocked the place did not turn her into a bitter hag.
She always did good however.
As for me, age 30 years and leave or stay 30 years and leave. Hmmmm....
I'd wonder what I could of learned in those 30 years lost.
I mean we die so fast as it is to just lose 30 years in a blink of an eye without actuallyliving the life associated with the years seems nutso to me.
IDK, it depends I guess. Prison is no fun BUT neither is losing 30 years like THAT.
If it were less like the time I spent in Elan I'd do it. LOL.

If it were an 18-month pill, I might take it, but 30 years is too much to lose.
Seems a lot of theses places are lengthening the "recommended stay." Someone posted in the Hyde forum a while back that they're now asking parents to make a "two year commitment." I'm not sure exactly how they might hold parents to that, but I'm sure they've found some way to penalize them should they not make good on said commitment. Not sure whether the primary motive is financial or whether it's "the better to brainwash you with, my dear," but the two concepts are so intertwined anyway it hardly matters.

No, it's about both. Especially where someone like Gauld or Newton is involved.
