What bothers me is when an American goes to jail in another country for breaking their laws. Our government calls them hostages. No they are criminals & serving time for their actions.
The crazy part is when they get back our government spends time & money to get them the therapy & support they need to get over the ordeal but at the same time our country doesn’t offer that to those who went to prison & serve their sentence in this country.
They offer no therapy for those who suffer from Adjustment Disorder, PTSD & being institutionalized. They have to figure everything out on their own.
Parole should be designed to better address those issues instead of a leash that’s used to pull em back to prison for a minor violation. So the individual lives with this constant anxiety of stress & fear just trying to comply with all the excessive rules.
If an individual served an x number of years behind bars what’s the point of giving them early “release” if they’re still incarcerated after they’re “free”? That’s when our government both state & feds should give them support they need like the Americans who get locked up abroad. If this country gonna be diplomatic to everyone else outside of this country they can treat the citizens within our borders the same way if not better.
