SPEAKOUT

Call 471-6636

I'm tired of spending my tax dollars on car alarms. What's the purpose of putting car alarms on ambulances?

I'm unable to call speakout because I'm an inmate in the Charleston Prison. I would like to comment on the person who thinks we have the good life. They say we have more medical benefits than working people. That is untrue. I have been in the system since May 22, 2001, and I have tried to get my teeth fixed and still haven't got it accomplished. Do you wait that long to go to the dentist on the street. I don't think so. Also we do not have 24-hour medical staff either. If we have any health problems after 7 p.m. such as a heart attack, we are just in trouble until a nurse can drive from her home to see about us. By then it could be too late. So, no we don't have all of these fringe benefits this person talks about. again just another person running off at the mouth about something they know nothing about.
