This topic is so important. As a former child services caseworker, we are trained that the most vulnerable to abuse are the victims that aren’t able to speak for themselves, but what about animals? How are they supposed to speak for themselves, make phone for themselves, tell a trusted teacher or health care provider that they’re being harmed? There are too few laws around this and not strong enough penalties for perpetrators. All lives are precious human or not and nothing on earth deserves to be purposefully harmed. This is a serious matter that deserves attention and a bigger platform. The death of an animal due to abuse leaves just as much of an impact on families as the death of a child. To some, their pets are their children. Why should they be treated as less? I would like to see the pressure turned up on legislators to really take this serious and do something about it. I could also go on in detail about the psychopathology that usually precedes animal abuse, along with the following escalation to violence against humans but wrong is wrong and it bares repeating that no matter what, this needs to be addressed.
Meredith supported: Increase Jail Time for Animal Abusers and change the laws.I believe that it will keep our loved ones from getting in trouble and keep the spark between us and our loved ones! It will give our loved one something to look forward to. Woman and men on the outside feel not only are our loved ones have the consequences of getting in trouble but us on the outside who are good standing citizens should not have to suffer the consequences ourselves. We are good influences on our loved one and it will keep the love alive and help with the intimacy that we need because if that's gone our loved ones don't have a chance of changing if us citizens keep leaving our loved ones from that chance of changing. Please just try it out see how different our loved ones would change if conjugal were accepted.
Melissa supported: Approve family visits/Conjugal visits for inmates in ColoradoI strongly believe this will not only help others but also keep loved ones closer to family.! Yes incarcerated people still have people that love them and miss them deeply!
Shania supported: Approve family visits/Conjugal visits for inmates in ColoradoAs someone who's done a long stretch inside prison, I can say for sure that having some alone time with family or a spouse is an exceptionally wonderful thing. Many people who don't have this opportunity feel as if their community is slipping away from them, and visits are a huge way to bring people closer to their family.
Gwen supported: Approve family visits/Conjugal visits for inmates in ColoradoOur loved ones are already paying the price by being incarcerated but no one looks at what that does to the family who is doing that time with them on an emotional level, this will not only help with the moral of the inmate but help to rehabilitate them by reminding them of the love and support they have at home!
Sabrina supported: Approve family visits/Conjugal visits for inmates in ColoradoI strongly believe this will keep loved ones closer to family.! Yes incarcerated people still have people that love them and miss them deeply praying for the change.
Cassandra supported: Approve family visits/Conjugal visits for inmates in ColoradoMy husband is in prison in Colorado. I fly from New York to sit with him for 5 hours,and we're barely allowed hug and kiss.
New York recognizes the benefits of family visits and is one of the few that allow them. I think the other states are foolish for not utilizing this.
