Looks like the crybabies in jails and correctional centers are at it again - writing letters complaining about being ``warehoused'' and without hope of future parole because of Gov. George Allen's Proposal X.
The inmates are becoming angrier at society because there are no programs (at taxpayers' expense) toward making positive changes, training, education, etc. (gee whiz, I always thought there was a 13-year free-education system in the United States!).
I have only one question for these prisoners of self-pity: Why did you commit crime when you knew beforehand you would be incarcerated?
They should grow up and accept that they alone are responsible for where they are now. They should stop the crying. Their victims are the ones hurting!
