Did you see the show on National Geographic? They stuck this young kid (no prior history of crime) in Lebanon prison with murderers and sexual predators. He's in for 7 years for a mistake he made when someone bumped into his car and then punched him. He chased the car which hit a pole. A passenger was pregnant and lost the fetus. Ok, bad mistake. But he came from a decent family and never did anything wrong in his life before this. He's in for 7 years with hard core criminals who prey upon him. It's pitiful. My question, will you email the governor of Ohio to plea for him? Ask that the kid be placed in a different, lower security prison. That's all. I don't know him but it only seems fair. I would hate that it could have been my son whose temper might land him in hell for a mistake he didn't mean to happen. This kid has a chance at a decent life. He might come out a hardened criminal. Here is the Ohio governor's site: http://governor.ohio.gov/contactinfopage鈥?/a>

How does the woman who lost her baby feel about all this?



There really isn't a "Whoops! I didn't mean for my uncontrolled temper to cause the death of an innocent party" card in Monopoly or in life. People can and should control their tempers. If they don't, they take the risk of going too far and ending up in a situation like this guy. Prisons don't have a "comes from a good family" section or a "is a really nice guy except for that whole murderous rage thing" section.



"my son whose temper might land him in hell for a mistake he didn't mean to happen" His temper is not calling the shots ... he is. He is in contol of it, not the other way around. As a parent, you have a responsibility to both your son (assuming he is a minor) and society to deny him access to a motor vehicle until he gets his anger under control.



People make choices every day. If someone chooses to not control their temper and get in a wild car chase, then they accept the possibility that a very bad thing might happen, and that they will be punished for it.Please help! Will you help?

Unfortunately bad temper landed many young people in jail.I do not know the circumstances but must have been enough reason to incarcerate him for seven years. First and foremost a life was terminated because of his uncontrolled reaction. How do you know if the mother will ever be able to carry another child? Your request is selfish. Any young man with that kind of temper needs help.In this case a lesson is well deserved. The choice now is his. He will serve his time and became a better or a bitter man.
