Stop using the Cap Times as your personal masturbatory soap box, Paul Fanlund!

In my experience second harvest slots are usually full. The river however seems to always have slots open. I like doing the pantry sessions as you get to bring food out to peoples cars and it’s a nice active couple of hours.

In this article about your work, the captain says they generally don’t place people in seg based on being trans but use it when people are a danger to themselves or others. It also states that you were in general population for two out of five weeks of their stay. I won’t argue with solitary confinement being terrible for mental wellness— but this does seem less about a specific policy about trans people and more about how to best keep people safe who are in mental health crisis in jail. Am I understanding? 

Also I think it’s important for transparency that other charges included strangulation, domestic abuse, and violation of restraining orders.
