Dear Beta:
I miss you when you are not here. Why not stay here with us for a little while, and share your burden with us and let us carry it with you, while you rest?
As far as fear that he might be sexually or physically abused while incarcerated, that could happen. I'm afraid to drive on freeways because I could crash. I won't go on escalators because I could fall. There is risk in the world. I am NOT trivializing risk. But do we really control it? Especially, for our kids....
State prisons and jails do not like it when prisoners are beaten or sexually violated. They get in huge trouble. Often they have to pay big lawsuits. Prisons I have been in work hard to protect their inmates from assault, for self-interest.
Yes. Bad things can happen everywhere. He is at risk now running around labile and possibly psychotic. I would prefer, the risk of containment. Personally.
