Blog 7: Higher Education
College is a great business . Colleges need you too go to their school. Admissions offices need have a certain quota that has to be met . The admissions office is trained to put as much pressure on the caller and do what ever it may take to get them to come to the college . They will even offer the online classes as well. The online education is very profitable . The demand of going to a 4year college is so good vs going to a community college can't keep up . No admission office or math professor bothers to tell you how much you just might go into debt because of college. It is a 99% chance that you will have some amount of debt that you will marry until death. But 10% chance of having a career in this economy . I feel that college is not for everyone in so many different ways . There are some benefits to going to college. Like if you finish college you will have some sort of degree . Your education level will be higher. There is also the chance of having a better life after college. You can say that you have experienced the college life for your self . Some of the down falls to going to college , You might go to a university and find out that a college is not for you . College takes a lot of money that some of many people might not have. You will leave college in debt . I might go to college . I have started looking into colleges and filling out college apps.

Blog 6: The American Justice System: The New Asylum
The prisons have became the new mental hospitals . Most of the inmates that have been getting convicted have a mental issues of some sort . Most of the prisoners have been diagnosed of bipolar disorder , schizophrenic disorder . Most of the inmates that are diagnosed with these disorders have come from broken homes as a child or even are still homeless . Majority of the crimes that these mental inmates have been convicted of are small petty crimes such as petty theft or sleeping in abandon homes . There also have been some larger crimes like murders . There are little of non mental hospitals that the inmates could go get help from . When a inmate is released from prison they will be released with a 3week supply of medication . The ex inmate is to go get there prescription refilled. These ex inmates seem to have a harder life after they get released . Inmates want help . An inmate in the prison name Billy Anthony is a bad case of schizophrenic. He thinks that these people from texas are coming to kill him ,so he tells authorities that he wants more security. They know that the only good help well come from the prisons. A inmate by the name of Jerry T. does not want to get released. He feels that there is no other treatment can help him. He has a fear of facing society because he does not want to harm others. He states that he would be okay with just sleeping his life away in jail . The guards and nurses at the prions are the only people who are willing to help them with patients that are needed . Inmates know that this is the only way they can get the medications for free. Most of the inmates will stop taking there medication because the inmates feel that the medicine will make them sick or even cause them to become depressed. Mental institutions are a huge shame and a disgrace . Mental institutions were treating the mental ill patients very bad. Mental institution have been compared to concentration camps. The employes at these mental institutions were not giving the patients their medication or the wrong medication. The U.S. can help by not always looking too get money from helping someone . THere should be a non for profit organization to help these mental issues . This non for profit organization should also offer counseling .
