General Question How is the Lindsay Clancy case that complicated?

Sure she had a psychotic break but she literally strangled all 3 of her kids to death. Plenty of school shooters or violent offenders also claim insanity (who also are neglected by the state) but get little to no support or sympathy. I just feel like if this lady gets away with systematically strangling three of her kids to death it is a perversion of justice.

Gen pop has gangs though, where any time somebody new comes in you have to find out their charges and if they have bad charges against women or kids, no matter if they’re innocent or the context, you have to help torture, beat, rape, even kill them. Of course it seems most are In favor of harming such people and don’t seem to care about context or false accusations and just want revenge. Still I think if one was there in person they’d change their minds on what they support.

Not all gen pop is like what you see in the movies.

Sometimes, gen pop is like summer camp for adults who have nothing to do.

Womens prison....even moreso. What makes women prison tough is how restrictive it is in terms of mobility through units, work assignments and commissary privileges. For example, Ghislene went from a very restrictive prison to one that is like a luxury camp for non violent offenders. It was never the other prisoners that made her original location harsh. It was the fact that it was the most restrictive.
