I admire your attitude about this. Any sage words for girls and young women?

Does the system use solitary confinement for extended periods? Do inmates generally share a cell? What's the normal schedule -- outdoor exercise regularly allowed? And my final questions is -- is the environment super noisy like I've seen in US documentaries?

Thanks for doing this. I am interested in Norway and it's apparently "thinking" approach to problems.

Glad to hear you are doing better.

I believe the VA system in most cases may be pretty comparable to private care for treatment. I believe that all health care needs a big improvement for customers to be pleased. The VA has worked very hard to improve its care and certainly the reporting system for medical errors has led the private system. It's easy to pick on the VA and certainly our troops should receive good service because they deserve it, but I think saying the private system is better or vastly better may not be so accurate.

Just one person's opinion.
