I have my own theories of the afterlife, for I am not sure there is just one simple answer. Regardless, death is something that catches up to all of us, it is inevitable.

first thing you would notice in prison is the serious lack of feminine hygiene supplies. Each month, women in many prisons receive 10 small, wingless pads with weak adhesive. This supply has to last their entire period. Women in prison can forget about making pads out of toilet paper because that’s rationed too.
