The closest grocery store is thirty minutes away, and the nearest hospital is twenty three miles. Westford is all country in every way. Animals ran wild everywhere. Some of the animals you would see are squirrels, quails, chipmunks, deer, and even bear. They were not afraid of anything, until hunting season. The trees are so tall with many colors, red…

If judges allowed for a reduced sentences following the completion drug or alcohol rehabilitation treatment, as well as for an inmate earning their GED, the overcrowding of prisons would be reduced.
