It will clearly explain where we find ourselves today as a nation -- the U.S. #1 Jailer in the World. A shameful statistic. Arizona must STOP the building NEW prisons the state does not need. It is also shameful to house inmates from others states and countries -- human trafficking for $$'s. This create a liability for the taxpayers as well.

May god bless his entire family and others in similar circumstances. This is a patient rights issue and we need legislators and leaders at all levels to level the playing field, open access to effective treatments, and quit tilting the table for pharmaceuticals, tobacco and alcohol.
