Tuesday was another day without video. We were able to check out a few art museums. The paintings look so real sometimes. You could tell which era they came from with the colors and of course the actual paintings that were hanging. I have a little video for outside of the museums but that is what it is. The two that we saw were The Natural Art Museum, and The Portrait Museum. The Portrait Museum had more modern pictures and paintings than the other. The one thing that surprised me was that there was a lot of painting that involved Christianity. I was thinking it would be more of Kings and Queens from here. Either way they were very neat and beautiful.
Later that afternoon we were able to visit one of the prisons that housed many different individuals. Some for petty things like no insurance, or assaults (disorderly conduct), to murder. Officer Palmer explained that they just treat them as they are human beings. Yes, you will have your problems but if you can just talk with them and treat them with respect it is easier to handle them. Usually it will diffuse the situation. Again, no camera's allowed but very interesting. This place has a long history from long ago to today. Many skeletons and horror stories that can be found like, where they hung prisoners to where the Governor would stay.
I would have to agree with Officer Palmer. Everyone can be on the wrong side of the law at one point, they are not always bad people. Sometimes that is when they find the help they need to become a "normal citizen", again.
