Boxer:
I blame Pintsize, his donation was Canadian dollars.
To be fair, they are Canadian Strippers and they said Sorry immediately to the store clerk.

May very much reminds me of a lot of the prisoners I deal with day to day.  The entitled ones, the ones who blame all their problems on everything but themselves, that actively resist all efforts to help, its extremely...tiring to deal with them, to try help them

As an example literacy and numeracy is a big problem in our prisons and we have many programs so you'd think it'd be a simple deal to get the guys on the courses to help themselves but no its like pulling teeth.
First there are the guys who say they want to do the courses but only say that so they can be transferred to the "softer" units and then say they won't go. Then there are the guys that're only attending the courses because they need it for their parole and then actively play up on the course thereby making it harder for the few who do actually want to learn (and then kick up a fuss and make complaints when they're removed from the course) there are also the ones who insist on one to one tutoring because its the only way they learn  and of course don't forget the ones who go just so they can transfer contraband to other units via the other prisoners

May has gotten a rough deal with her body breaking down for sure however her actions are what got her there in the first place (if I remember correctly) but since then shes been taken in by Dale, made friends with Momo, has Roko on her case (in a good way) and now had a substantial amount of money given to her for a new body and every step of the way shes made it a struggle for everyone and, IRL, thats just really tiring and frustrating

Personal anecdote time, a case prisoner of mine was a couple of weeks away from being released so his case manager and probation officer were trying to find a bed for this guy (he had no one and his family wanted nothing to do with him) so it probably was going to be with the Salvation Army however they also needed to find a bed for this guy so do you think this guy was appreciative of how many people (minimum of four different departments by this time) were trying to sort something out for him, of course not because he wanted to know right there and then and, in his words, "if you (meaning me) don't sort it out I'll just commit another crime and come back to prison"

Is it cold in here?:
Except May didn't act entitled to the fundraiser. I vaguely remember she opposed the idea at first, and instead of acting like it was just what she ought to have and demanding more, she refused to believe in it.

That said, I would find her frustrating to deal with in real life, especially if I'd had to deal with similar people before.

Tova:
Chris, would you care to reflect on why it is you think that so many prisoners end up this way?

Interesting question. May committed a crime so shes a convicted criminal but is she a criminal

Generally speaking most criminals can be categorized as selfish, with no empathy, manipulative and with no thoughts given to long term planning

I'll have to wait until tonight to answer it fully as I'm on night shift at the moment so I'll be able to answer the question properly (and I dislike typing on a phone)
