Of the 23 million veterans in the United States today, an estimated 140,000 are in prison or jail. And many veterans—imprisoned or not—are unaware of the help available to them. Veterans’ benefits are severely limited during imprisonment, but the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) considers an individual free the moment he is paroled or sent to a halfway house or work release program. Immediate access to VA benefits on release can mean the difference between staying in society or returning to prison. You can learn more about the VA by finding the nearest VA Service Center, or calling the VA headquarters in Washington, D.C. Also, visit the VA website for lots of helpful information.

March 30, 2008 we lost 39 year old R & B singer Sean. Sean was arrested and jailed in Cuyahoga County and for failure to pay child support. Six days later he was dead. He was denied his prescription for drugs, and the county coroner concluded withdrawal contributed to the R & B singer's death. At that time the jail had no formal policy for determining which inmates get their prescription medications shortly after arriving and which inmates must wait up to two weeks before they get their drugs. Decisions long have been made on a case-by- case basis. The jail's administrator and a doctor who oversees medical care on Friday proposed a policy change so that new inmates taking benzodiazepines, a family of drugs including , get the medicines as soon as their prescriptions can be verified. The 128th General Assembly (2009-2010) in their regular session introduced H.B. # 84. In essence the bill requires health-trained personnel to perform a medical, dental, and mental health screening on each inmate upon arrival at a jail, to establish procedures that health-trained personnel must follow if an inmate is taking or any other benzodiazepine, and to provide that the sheriff ensure that health-trained personnel responsible for medical, dental, and mental health screening be trained as to symptoms and consequences of withdrawal from addictive drugs. Sean's Law H.B.

The basic idea behind our system of democracy is that equal numbers of people should have equal influence over the legislative process. After each census legislators reshape districts to equalize the populations in each district. But all to often, legislators manipulate the line drawing process for partisan advantage. Gerrymandering might be the best way to steal an election short of outright fraud. Prison-based gerrymandering operates subtlety behind closed doors making mobilizing people for reform challenging. It's almost the perfect crime. A legislator gets extra influence without having to be accountable to more constituents and the data says the district is legit.

We also know that recently released offenders are estimated to account for 20percent of all adult arrests made by police.

Incarcerated mothers and fathers are unable to work on parenting skills that may be necessary for reunification, and separation interferes with the ability of parent and child to form or maintain a strong attachment. Family-centered services for incarcerated parents, their children, and families focus on parenting programs, family strengthening activities, nurturing of family relationships, community supports for families during incarceration and following release. Special guests are Ernestine Bean and Sabrina Gill from the Indiana Health, Marriage and Family coalition. They teach healthy marriage and family to inmates at Westville Correctional Facility, Westville, IN. Mr. Michael Green from(MEN)the Male Empowerment Network, Gary IN. will discuss the importance of cultivating marriage and family during incarceration and after release.
