		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Carole Santos Honestly, I didn’t know anything about prison before I reconnected with Michael. However, when I pledged my heart to him and joined my life to his in February of 2002, real prison suddenly had an every day presence in my life and I felt a responsibility to learn about it.

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s blog is from Carole Santos I’ve watched a few of episodes of Hoarding: Buried Alive on TLC. Hoarding is a disturbing condition in which sufferers are unable to stop themselves from acquiring and holding onto possessions. It’s a costly, debilitating condition that destroys relationships and creates an isolating environment. Hoarders are unable to break [...]]]></description>

He self-surrendered to the camp two weeks ago, and amazingly, in that span of time he’s been able to surmise all that is wrong with the prison system. Charlie is serving a nine-month sentence for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard a radio broadcast announcing that the Senate will swear in the newly elected Scott brown, Republican from Massachusetts, tomorrow. The new Republican eliminates the supermajority of the Democrats, and that equation, supposedly, will introduce new hurdles in bringing about a liberal agenda. I’m not clear on Senate rules that require supermajority votes of [...]]]></description>

Yet that was what Attorney General Eric Holder told the nation&#8217;s lawyers at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association. Mr. Holder isn&#8217;t the first high profile government leader to call [...]]]></description>
