This is Mr. Jenkins recording for October the 21st, 2025, and today’s topic is drugs we receive in prison.
And the reason why I’m doing that topic is because we have a big problem, issues, with drugs in prison. And we have a lot of young man overdose as there are female overdose in the [unclear]. The whole issue is who bring the drugs. How do drugs get in prison and who bring the drugs in prison. We know that the prisoners can’t bring drugs in prison because we already in prison. So, that means two options, family member, and we don’t want to say, but you have to say – staff members that working in the prison system, because they have access to bring narcotics and stuff in prison.
So, what I think is this- why is it not being [unclear]? Why is nobody talking about it? Why is we having more overdose in prison than anything? We have a growing rate of prisoners being overdosed in prison and pass away. We have a newspaper that comes out, [unclear] that makes and say how many people have passed away in prison once a month, and a lot of them is overdose in prison.
So, how do we fix that? And how do we tackle that in the politician world? Is this something new or is this money? Is this about money and make more money in prison? What is it? We have not found that solution and figured it out yet. So, I’m asking people out there as to what do you think, and how do we tackle that? Is it a newspaper, or do we tackle it in the media? Because the media is probably everything, the minute we’ve talked about everything, but they do not talk about drugs inside the prison system, and that’s the reason we want to talk about that.
How do we fix that problem? What comments? What ideas that you might have that we could bring to the lawmakers, the politicians, and Mr. Newsom and whoever going to be the government in the next four to five years. How do we cover that? How do we slow down the drugs inside the prison system? And you have to find the source. So, is it, the source is staff member that brings it into the prison system? Do we have a lot of family members that bring it into the prison system? And I think that hardly to think a lot of family member is definitely [unclear] their freedom for drugs, for they loved one.
So. my conclusion is, it has to be the staff member is bringing drugs to the prison system and selling it to the inmates, and the inmates are contributing to people that get high. And in this [unclear] if it’s a law, and if a man gets convicted on doing drugs out there, why is it easy to come in here and get drugs and get high and no problem. So, how do we fix that? I need your opinion how to fix that, and I’m hoping that you come with a good solution, and hoping that you write me at Mr. Jenkins, 4BM4522 4B 3Right, C 42, P.O. Box, 3481 Corcoran, California, 93212.
