Granite fears closure of Oklahoma State Reformatory
Tell your husbands and fathers to stop breaking the law and they wont be locked up 100's of miles away. The staff at OSR does a very good job considering all the stress they are placed under everyday. Over worked, under paid, disrespectful offenders, and a public trying to tell them how to do the job they are trained to do (when most of the public wouldn't last a week in a prison setting). You want tougher sentencing for "these monsters", you need to blame the judges and D.A.'s. They make those decisions not D.O.C. or OSR. (Sep 22, 2011 | post #64)
Both are good schools for the size of the towns. Both have many graduates who have gone on to be successful. The only thing is neither school is going to hold your kids hand, if your kid has a good attitude and a willingness to learn, each school system will do everything in their power to help your kid succeed. As for kids feeling like outsiders, my advice is for them to be involved. If they like sports, band, ffa, art, or choir. Whatever it is they have a passion for, get them involved. I was an outsider when I moved to Mangum, nothing was handed to me. But I found something I enjoyed doing. (Sep 13, 2011 | post #5)
That rumor has been around probably as long as I have been alive. I can see the day that it will happen, but not anytime soon. (May 16, 2011 | post #2)
