You might be surprised to hear that penal systems use inmates to
perform much of the work including ROM, auctioning, cath'ing, feeding
and mobility. They are trained and tested. Some place have medical
doctors serving time and male nurses.

If he's on a vent and confined to bed then he IS in prison. Bobbie
Do you guys remember a wife of a quad use to be on the Q-list who
husband was involved in a robbery and in the car chase from police
crashed his car, broke his neck, was paralyzed and sent to ADA jail
cell, but I don't remember for how long. We were writing each other for
years but I he stopped writing and I never heard from him again. I
think he died of complications from a pressure sore. He had a great
attitude.
I always thought it was rather fooling that he was sent to prison,
and a waist of money for tax payer's for sending a quad to prison for
robbery. If I remember correctly, he was in California. Bobbie

Have any of you guys heard about the man convicted of rape and murder
and was sentenced to 150 yrs Then six years into the sentence, another
inmate stabbed him in the neck which resulted in him being a quad. Im
not sure how many years he was in jail after he became disabled, but it
was at a cost of 650,000 dollars a year to take care of him. The
inmates mother agreed to take care of him upon his release and thats
exactly what the state did, let him go. What do you guys think? Should
he be allowed to live among the public? should the state pay the cost
of attendent care because he was hurt on their watch?
