I know we need places like Graterford, the prison, but how sure are we that everyone in there NEEDS to be in there? There are many inmates who indeed initially committed crimes, but paid their debts to society-somehow along the way, they rubbed the powers that be (the dreaded correctional officers) the wrong way. These officers are ultimately given way too much power in PA in my opinion-they can supersede sentence orders and/or disregard them by slipping a DETAINER into an inmate's file thereby tacking-on additional time and unjust punishment. They can literally have an inmate start all over again. If an inmate has no one to watch-out for them, no advocate or the like, they can remain in the system indefinitely. Wiki and we need to put an end to this abuse of power-any and all suggestions are welcome. case in point at this time: Monroe County Correctional Facility, Stroudsburg, PA  08/04/08 - sent one inmate otherwise finished with a six (6) year sentence back to Graterford Maximum Security Prison, on his release date, WITHOUT Judge's Order to start all over. I'll withhold officer's name for legal reasons.

Any Ideas???
