"Nobody's taught them how to act."
I said that in my truck on Monday, November 9, 2026. I was talking about men coming home from federal prison. I was one of them.
What it cost inside
This is what I saw at FCI Beaumont. This is my account.
"In prison, if somebody stabs somebody else, they get a slap on the wrist."
"They lose 47 days of good time credit or 27 days of good time credit, and they may stay 30 days in the SHU, and then back out to the yard."
"At least that's how it was in Beaumont. Them boys was stabbing people and coming back out to the yard the same day. No charges."
Then they come home
"So when they leave and they go back out to the world, they don't know how to act."
"And that's the institutionalization that takes over, the mindset."
"Convicts, inmates, people that are released, get back out here into the world and subsequently get in trouble again because they don't know how to act."
No transition
"There was no transition or not a proper transition period."
That is the part we can fix.
What this is and what it is not
This is what I lived and what I saw. It is not a Bureau of Prisons record.
