My friend is there going through the mental health program and was cussed at by a lieutenant!!! For no reason!!this can't be part of the mental health program!!! In order for inmates to get the help they need... They need POSITIVE role models! They are quick to write up an inmate or extend their time but they are slow and should also be held accountable when and if they are not doing the same! Treat people with the same respect you want to receive!! Especially a lieutenant!! Wow! Can Texas do better?!?!
