    First of all I am in the Waterloo Correctional Facility and I personally don't think they treat us fair. I feel they are hindering our recovery If we already had an apartment when we came in we have to pay rent at the facility and pay our bills at home. I've been on level 2 for 9 weeks because I can't aford to pay rent 2 places. They are punishing me for trying to change.I don't think thats right. People aren't doing anything sbout it.
