Rick Mariano Finds Prison System Lacking

122807mariano.jpg
We've all sort of forgotten about Rick Mariano, since the former City Councilman is still in prison for a few more years. But the Daily News' Gar Joseph found his Myspace page -- which the Daily News says is some 23-year-old's page -- that a friend updates for him.

And, apparently, if you go to prison, you realize that prisons in America are horribly run and nobody really cares.

The latest, dated Nov. 23, reads, "It still amazes me that in the greatest country in the world we have such backwards penal practices. People who are no threat to society in any way are wasting time, energy and potential in stagnant confinement, denied any opportunity to make some form of restitution for our mistakes.

"We all suffer, family suffers most. The public pays and nobody benefits.

"Bassackwards."

Yes, Rick Mariano is also talking about himself here, but let's not be so cynical. He gets it!
