Andrea Yates found not gulity!

I found it remarkable that her husband supported the ruling, too -- there aren't many people in the middle of things like this who could see the "bigger picture" and recognize what's legitimately best for all involved.

I worked in prisons, too, although in more of an outreach/tutoring capacity and not for nearly as long as you, Somer...but it's amazing how much your perspective changes when you spend time behind those walls. I have a really difficult time explaining it to people who've never been there...but my views on incarceration are considerably more thought-out and nuanced than they would ever be if I hadn't seen it. It's one of the most hidden-away parts of society, and I'm not sure that's right.
