if CT treats all its residents in need with BCG as tsught by faustmanlab.org, pubmed.org faustman dl, pubmed.org ristori + bcg it would improve lives and reduce health care costs. perhaps one of you suffers from an autoimmune disease. see also uspto.gov inventor search faustman
years ago i was at lorton in virginia as a volunteer with the dc prisoners rights program. i was talking with a diabetic over his medical file. i eventually showed him my diabetic dog tags to show him i had a little bit of experience. my advice was not persuasive but he thanked me for trying.
years later i can see but not reach that which will help many, faustman and g ristori. and BCG.
i hope you msy help
German-style program at a Connecticut maximum security prison emphasizes rehab for inmates
Taking cues from the prison system in Germany, where the main objective is rehabilitation, a program based on therapy for 18 to 25-year-old offenders is taking shape at a prison nicknamed 'the Rock.'
One of the more radical attempts at prison reform is taking place in a foreboding Connecticut prison nicknamed the Rock. It's a two year old program based on therapy for 18-25 year old prisoners, whose brains, science shows, are still developing, and their behavior more likely to change. The idea came from Germany where the main objective of prison is rehabilitation and where the recidivism rate is about half that of the U.S. We were in Germany four years ago when then Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy toured the prison system. He returned home inspired and launched the small, German style program at the Rock. It's too early to tell whether it will reduce recidivism but we wanted to see how the German approach is being tested in America. So, we went to Connecticut by way of a slight detour to the northeast corner of Maine.
The University of Maine at Presque Isle is small in the world of college basketball. But for number 10, Shyquinn Dix, being a student-athlete here is the biggest shot of his life.
Shyquinn Dix: Being able to be around a place where I could just be me and, like, work on myself, and live out my dream is, like, wonderful to me.
Bill Whitaker: I've heard that you're the best player on the team.
Shyquinn Dix: I'm pretty good. (LAUGH)
Bill Whitaker: How 'bout in the classroom?
Shyquinn Dix: Actually made the Dean's List. 3.8 this semester. All A's.
Bill Whitaker: It seems improbable.
Shyquinn Dix: Like I wake up in my dorm and I'm like, "I'm really in college right now. This is crazy." Like, it's crazy.
Crazy because when we first met him a year ago, Presque Isle number 10 was inmate number 391175 serving a four-year sentence for felony check fraud at Cheshire Correctional Institution, a maximum security prison in central Connecticut that houses about 1,300 prisoners. Warden Scott Erfe has spent 30 years working in the state prison system. He told us Cheshire corrections officers were as firm and unyielding as the century-old prison walls.
Warden Scott Erfe: When you think of Alcatraz, old-school corrections, old school mentality-- that is Cheshire.
