    I have done a lot of time in jail, and even went to prison one time. Monthly traffic tickets for not paying fines and court cost. Most times when I was in jail for a month or more I would put in for trustee so that I could move around a little more to help time go by and keep my mind busy. I was disgusted when I found out that child molesters if they couldn’t make bail would be put in the trustee dorms so that they would be safe from other inmates! Even the correctional officers know what they’re in there for but cannot the inmates on fear of losing her job.

    CPS is corrupt AF, there’s more stories like this he’ll probably end up dead soon, CPS child trafficking kids for sex I mean this doesn’t surprise me. If no one gets to him first I hope it’s life in prison
