[QUOTE="DDD, post: 470724, member: 35"] HUGE supportive hugs coming your way. I remember that you anticipated it would be bad and I'm so sorry that you were correct. In Florida "the system" uses an intake and evaluation center as the first stop before transfer to a prison. Each person is evaluated for mental health status and evidently quite carefully sorted into categories based on past violence etc. Obviously this is not aimed at helping the inmates so much as it is to help the system place people in the environment that is least restrictive and requires the most limited staffing. They have a level system that is used. My hope is that they will identify your difficult child appropriately. Whether that gives you any comfort or not I don't know. When the Prosecutor's wanted to send our former easy child/difficult child to prison, as you may recall, I was literally sick with fear. Til the day I die I'll never understand why he fought so hard to send him there for having a few pills in his unoccupied car and with no violent history but it was slightly reassuring to know that he would not be housed with murderers etc. Luckily for our family I was able to fight it in Court and we did not have to live with the reality. I'm truly saddened by your circumstances and will pray that difficult child will be placed properly and "maybe" come out as a more mature less impulsive man. Many hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
