Warden Grants Him Supervised Half-Hour At Her Bedside

"Dear God" from the band XTC...

Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don''t mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image, see
them starving on their feet ''cause they don''t get
enough to eat from God...

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting
in the street ''cause they can''t make opinions meet about God...

I am all for doing your time, however this is a special case and he should be allowed visits. To not let the father see is Daughter is punishing her. That is her final wish- to see her Father. And Ranger1948, my Husband has been a Prison Guard for almost 20 years. His opinion was the Warden was just flexing his/her power. The Warden does have the right and other Wardens have done so in the past for similiar circumstances. This Warden is a jerk but at least the press has done something right (my belief the visit happened because of media attention).

When a man is separated from his dying child because of hard core bureaucratic paperwork it is time we reevaluate our penal system. Keeping people locked up with out the counseling or education they need to make it in the real world is absolutely wrong. Live in drug rehab programs (one to two years)that are not connected with the prison system, really work but we no longer have them due to politics and greed. We now lock people up for years with no rehab "Letting them work for cents on the dollar" instead. This helps the corporations but does nothing for society as a whole. This story illustrates how corrupt our penal system really is.

god''''s not going to save anyone. never has, never will. HOW DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING?

The guy with the sick daughter was probably selling drugs to pay for her medical care. THIS THOUGHT CROSSED MY MIND TOO, AND IF THAT BE THE CASE I FEEL DEEPLY SORRY FOR THEM BOTH, WELL I FEEL DEEPLY SORRY FOR THEM BOTH ANYWAY BUT IF HE WAS JUST A CRACKHEAD THEN I FEEL MORE SORRY FOR HER THAN HIM.

How is that? Did he cause the father to be a criminal? Did he cause whatever it was that created her cancerous situation? Do you believe you have more understanding and knowledge than a supreme being who is the creator of all the architect of the entire plan?

Dear Editor,

I have just learned that little Jayci Yeager was allowed to see her father one last time before God takes her to her new home.

While 20 minutes is not alot of time to spend with her father before she goes, in the end little Jayci got her dieing wish and that is what matters.

Little Jayci can now rest comfortable and know that her father was there and that he will always be with her, and her with him.

I do hope that in the future society has learned from this and that even though some of us make mistakes, there are times that regardless of what we have done some things take precedence over others and that the end result is what matters and what is important.

I would like to say thank you to Warden Whitehead and the others for allowing Mr. Yeager the time he needed with his daughter, and for granting this little girl her dieing wish.

Little Jayci may now lay her head down and allow the Angles to take her to a special place were she will now watch over her mom, her sister and her father until they meet again.

God Bless you little Jayci you will never be forgotten, and you will forever live on in our hearts and in out prayers.

aggiekat2004. Did the war on drugs save your niece? of course not. If drugs laws stopped drugs or at least made them difficult to get maybe they would be worth it but in reality all they do is keep cops and prison guards employed wile wasting uncountable amounts of tax money on nothing.
The laws are doing more harm than the drugs, it''s time for a fresh look at what to do.

The guy with the sick daughter was probably selling drugs to pay for her medical care. The cost of staying alive makes more criminals whenever the misery index goes up, so does crime. I feel very sorry for the inmate and his kid.

You people coming down on the warden do not understand the legal system. He has rules and regulations to follow. Sure this is a sad case for the dying girl but don''t blame the warden. He doesn''t make the rules he does have to obey them. They asked president bush to intercede but he has done nothing and he has the power to do so. I do not feel sorry for the father, he should have thought about his family before he committed the crime. I think the warden has shown compassion for this little girl and should be commended for it.
