This situation has been blown completely out of hand. Marcus Hunter has been denied his visitation rights ever since this situation happened in Feb of 2007. In agree that he should be punished for breaking a prison violation and a law outside of prison. But how is keeping him away from his family going to solve this problem? This is a man who was use to seeing his children on a daily basis, now they have to continue to suffer and not see their father. Isn't it bad enough that he's in prison? True enough its his own fault his in there, but I thought prison supports family and inmate relationships? How are inmates suppose to stay in a healthy mental state if their being kept away from family that wants to support them? Their acting as if this is the very first time any type of contraband has been found in this facility.
