I understand it is very difficult to remain "detached". Good luck if you can do it but it is not something I would want to get involved with.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Why prisoners in particular ? Could you not start off with something a little less daunting at first like hospital visiting and work your way up or down as appropriate ?

I figured it would have been something you have considered and not just a sudden whim.

In response to the OP ... I really can't comment other than to say that I know someone who did time for embezzling (sp?). If I'd had the inclination to visit I fear all I could have said would have been ...

FFS, you stupid fvcking moron! What on earth were you thinking? You have loads of business acumen, professional qualifications ... jealousy got the better of you didn't it?  Banghead Banghead

That's prolly not much help ...  Shrugs:
