For a site devoted to disseminating family support and information about a punitive prison system resulting from an extensive amount of rules, laws, and regulations, this one at first glance appears to mirror that society with all of its restrictions and threats of banishment.
I have posted content specific information which may help the people and the families of people who have been incarcerated to restore their lives and the Nazi moderators, who I might add are similar to the Wikipedia Gestapo force, deleting my posts and silencing the voice of protest in the prison related community.
It's not as if I were spamming for commercial purposes or trying to make a profit, but to label a non-profit political criminal justice reform related topic aimed at restoring the lives of the poor people who are at the mercy of the system as solicitation or advertising is preposterous. I have not offered up a product or a service, but a cause of serious concern. To be silenced in this fashion is outrageous. I doubt these moderators actually took the time out to research the cause before stamping it in such a way as to stifle activism.
How do you offer family support when you deny the people of the legitimate resources they need to truly regain their lives back?
So far, this forum has proved to support the continuance of mediocrity of a status quo that refuses to address the root causes of societal problems and maintains the poor quality of life that imprisons the bodies, hearts, and minds of the people of this forum and the loved ones they care for so much. I assume that if people actually began to become mobilized in an effort to reform the system instead of taking these false surveys and fake internet petitions, there would be no need for this forum and this site would lose traffic, so I understand your reasons, but it's just bad form.
Even though this is my target population, after a review of all of the rules and restrictions of this community, I decided, this was not the venue for me. The restrictions of this site are an impediment to a true reform of the Criminal Justice system. There was this political science book I remember reading from my earlier days as an undergrad titled, "Self-Renewal" by John W. Gardner. In it he writes, and I quote, "As the organization or society ages, vitality diminishes, flexibility gives way to rigidity, creativity fades and there is a loss of capacity to meet challenges from unexpected directions." He points to the stifling dependence on rules as being the demise of an organization when he writes, "the last act of a dying organization is to get out a new and enlarged edition of the rule book." He argues that organizations must renew themselves to keep up with the times and that the only society that can renew itself over a period of time is a free society. He continues, "Critics who call attention to an area that requires renewal are very much a part of the innovative process." Unfortunately, this community ostracizes innovators and the voice of dissent. PrisonTalk.com is more like a prison than any other entity with its hostile treatment of free thinkers. Perhaps the prisonization, the process of being socialized into the culture and social life of prison society to the extent that adjusting to the outside society becomes difficult, of this site from people who have been institutionalized is causation in this horrible phenomenon.
All I have to say is, "You sir, Mr. David Frisk, need to clean house and let your site resemble the free society in which we live."
