OUTRAGED!

OUTRAGED! That is what all of us should be at the news that a prisoner on Alabama’s death row—Jack Trawick—not only has access to the Internet, but is allowed to draw, sketch, paint and sell obscene art from his prison cell! How can sketches of mutilated bodies come under the First Amendment? Where are the Commissioner of Department of Corrections and the State of Alabama in this?

This man is a serial murderer, for God’s sake! Stephanie Gach’s family has to be traumatized again by seeing pictures depicting their daughter’s murder all over the Internet.

The prisons—even Death Row---offer some people more than they ever got on the outside. I NEVER got to go to college; have worked hard all my life and only acquired a computer within the last five years, and it absolutely infuriates me that the public is paying for these low-lifes to get a college education, have access to computers, law libraries, and three meals a day. I would rather feed and educate people in this state who need a helping hand. I surely want no part of making a prisoner’s life “all fuzzy and warm.”

This is absolutely obscene, and I truly hope that Troy King and the State Department of Corrections do something about it.

I can't believe the people of these United States continue to tolerate such egregious behavior.
