China came in second. With only 18% of the prisoners we do.
Funny stuff, like there is no corruption in America.. HAHAHA

Ever heard of Watergate my friends?
and China killed less than 6000 in 2007.

6000 when you have millions in prison is nothing.

Look up some info before you answer people. Please.

Ignorance is a big ol beezy.

i think most people know that and also America has the 3rd highest execution rate after China and Iran

My friends uncle is in jail in texas and they don’t want to talk to any of their relatives so my friend & i are trying to find out the causes of people to stay in jail for 5 years?

First, a clarification. As a general rule, someone is in jail because they haven’t been to trial yet, or because they’ve been convicted of a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a sentence of up to two years in jail.

If you’re convicted of a felony, with a sentence of 2 years to life, you generally do your time in a prison instead of a jail.

However, a decade or so ago, Texas came up with a new classification of crimes called "state jail felonies", which were punishable by up to two years in a state jail.

So, one question is whether you really meant "jail" or you meant more generally "locked up".

Another question about your question is whether someone has been sentenced to at least 5 years, or they’ve actually been locked up for at least 5 years.

Wardens are better able to control their prisoners if they’re able to offer them "good time" for behaving while they’re in prison. Accordingly, as a general rule, one will normally serve a fraction of their sentence locked up, if they behave. (exception: state jail felonies are served actual time). So, to receive a SENTENCE of 5 years, they’d have to be convicted of a felony of the 3rd Degree, 2nd Degree, or 1st Degree. But to actually serve at least 5 years, it’s unlikely to have been a 3rd Degree Felony.

For details on the types of crimes look up the Texas Criminal Code online. You’ll find that in many cases it depends on the seriousness of the crime. Possession of a small amount of marijuana is a misdemeanor, more of it is a 3rd degree felony, even more is a second degree felony, and even more of it is a 1st degree felony.

But, you probably want to know what your friend’s uncle is locked up for. If he’s in prison, you can look him up if you know his full legal name and date of birth in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division web site — and find out exactly what he’s locked up for.

Does anyone know a website that he can download it from? I know you can do it for most places but im just wondering if anyone knows a site that we can do this..We are trying to file soon b/c his w2 is going to our old address so we dont wanna wait for it to be re-routed.

If it is available this link will have it.~

If we invaded Iraq because the government had WMDs, then why did the US capture its people and torture 7,000 of them in abu ghraib prison, which was empty before the US came, then the US filled them up only for Bush to say in 2005 that the prison would be demolished. So, what was the deal?
See pic as an example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AbuGhraibAbuse-standing-on-box.jpg

The prison wasn’t opened to give people a place to torture Iraqi’s. It was opened as a place to detain enemy combatants. Believe it or not there were some really bad people at that prison. The prison was opened for the same reason any other prison would be opened here or any where else and it was closed because after the scandal there was nothing but negative connotations associated with it. Some of our soldiers got carried away and did the wrong thing. What they did set our military and country back years in terms of relations with muslim countries. It was even used as a recruiting tool by terrorist organizations.

Do you believe ex-cons deserve second chances ? Especially when they come out into a new world looking for a job. Everyone is so jugemental.

I think it depends on the crime. Child molester or intentionally killing someone would make me skeptical but, time served on small theft or pot charges would be something else.

Assume I don’t physically harm anyone or destroy any merchandise. Also, would the use of a 50cc scooter make? If I didn’t go to jail, what would be the other ramifications?

When caught, and you will be caught; charges like, Reckless Endangerment, Trespassing, Vehicular Assault (if you so much a brush against a person). Wal Mart will also ban you from any of its stores for life and you will be liable in a civil court for any damage, real or imagined, by the store, any employee, and any customer that can prove damage. That would include someone having a heart attack, injured, because they fell getting out of your way, broken or otherwise damaged merchandise caused by people running from you.

You also run the risk of some "hero" stopping you by using one of Wal Mart’s baseball bats on you as you drive by the sporting goods.

I am in the second semester of my first year in college. I want to eventually work with teenagers in a correctional facility, such as a substance abuse center, "boot camp", etc. What degree do i need to obtain in order to do that? I was thinking psychology?

If you posess a degree - or any other qualification - then you’ll already be ahead of the bunch when it comes to searching for careers. My friend has a degree and he wasn’t sure what direction to go with it, but he uncovered some good guidance on the resource in the resource box below which guided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is plenty of guidance on the resource regarding other careers.

I am submitting my application this week
I have already went on the website and there are 2 different physical test. I to know from somone who has maybe gone through it already.

Look on their website, or ask them.

I need to know the governing body for the local inmate database (LIDs) for school work. Please only post if you are sure that the answer you have given is correct.

Home Office

a chronological resume is not possible here however I do have extensive work history, experience,and training how would I write a resume that would draw interest?

Leave off the dates and emphasize your skills and abilities. Basically the same thing a stay-at-home parent would do when they are ready to go back to work.

The conviction will come out eventually, but you can at least try to get your foot in the door before it does. If you do get in for the interview, you then will have to prove that what you did was a mistake and you learned your lesson from it.
