That is wonderful news and totally in keeping with the BOP’ s culture which is “unless the public cares we do as we please.” This time the public cares.

Still, a small concession was better than nothing, I think.

Quote from story:

“On Wednesday afternoon, prison guards drove Jason Yaeger to a Lincoln hospice, where he spent several hours at her bedside. No one else was allowed in the room except Jason Yaeger, Jayci and the escorts.”

I’m glad that this father was able to spend some time with his dying daughter, even if it wasn’t as much time as was originally requested.

He has less than 4 months to go in a minimum security facility and he isn’t even given a 48 hour furlough. This is the BOP at its worst, but it is exactly indicative of who they are and how they operate.

I have found that prison officials, whether at the city (jail), state or federal level, are all pretty much the same. Heartless bureaucrats, who like to punish not only inmates, but all of their family, loved ones, friends. They COULD show a little humanity in such sad cases like this one; they just don’t WANT to. And as far as I’M concerned, some of them are worse than the “perps” they have locked up in their facilities.

I have litigated against the BOP and I can tell you that it is hard to tell sometimes just who should actually be locked up after at trip to any of the FCI’s. This is a deplorable situation, and their indifference is staggering. I think Dante needs another circle of hell for those who inflict willful cruelty on children through indifference. As for “crimes” against children in Jayci’s circumstances there is no absolution in my “religion.”
