People don’t often think about the injustices that happen to families that visit their love ones in prison, and if it were ever noticed, we'd think twice to correct the injustice. It’s at the bottom of the totem pole, or we may feel because of the environment this matter has arises from, it's not worth mentioning. But Families of Inmates are not to be regarded as being at the bottom of any list.

Organic would be lovely. The families deserve it. Sign this petition to push Albany to allow NYS DOCCS vender machines to contain individualized bags of microwavable greens (broccoli or string beans) not just burgers. The world has evolved, people are becoming more conscious about what they eat for better health and knowledgeable about "whole foods” and the positive effect it has on the brain and body; To not have such readily available for ones visit is inhumane.
