why.
Why can’t you be trusted to handle a left turn once your driving in NJ? Seriously. Cause I’d like to know. I know straight up U-turns are frowned upon - so you have to use the “u turn exit” and its always 8 miles ahead…but what is going on in those areas where left turns just don’t exist? Is it some sort of civil engineering miracle that I don’t get? ...

“New York’s system of juvenile prisons is broken, with young people battling mental illness or addiction held alongside violent offenders in abysmal facilities where they receive little counseling, can be physically abused and rarely get even a basic education, according to a report by a state panel.”

Great article from psychotherapy. I’ve spoken to a couple of the experts mentioned in this piece for my own research… which I used to think could lead to further research in this area, and then go on to add weight needed in NYS to pass legislation mandating entire video recording of custodian interrogations…ahh dreams.
