THE PURPOSE OF ADOPTED PRISONERS PAGES

It has long been documented that former foster kids are overrepresented in America's prisons....Example: "69% on inmates in California State Prisons were former foster children; 60% in Massachusetts were foster children" according to testimony on the Congressional Record. The same appears to be true of adoptees.... Example: According to FBI stats: "16% of 500 serial killers are adoptees." http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/foiaindex_s.htm and according to Dr. Mike Aamodt, Radford University, "14% of 225 serial killers are adoptees."

Therefore, it begs the question as to WHY, if adoption (instead of foster care or permanent guardianship) is truly in the adoptees' "best interests," does "an over-representation of adoptees" end up in prison --

[Note that AmFOR includes as noteworthy not only adoptees whose behaviors since childhood have escalated to felony crimes but also some truly "wrongfully convicted" adoptees who have been easily coerced into admitting guilt or accepting plea bargains for crimes they did NOT commit from lifelong acquiescence regarding their unnatural status.]

While many factors result in criminal behaviors, the fact of the adoption, how it was handled in the adoptive home, and "Adopted Child Syndrome" is often purposely overlooked at trial because it is "politically incorrect" to explore adoption's negative effects on the adoptee. Savvy profilers, forensic psychologists, attorneys, writers and other researchers, factor in adoption's abuse, not as an "excuse" but as a contributory "reason" (the "WHY") for criminal behavior in these individuals.

The book, "CHOSEN CHILDREN: Billion Dollar Babies in America's Foster Care, Adoption & Prison Systems" helps us discover WHY. The book not only reveals political agendas and little known statistical data, but also details incarcerated adoptees stories in their own words from letters and direct interviews and as verified by their records from police, courts, vital records and more.

o "Adoption Loss is the only trauma in the world where the victims are expected by the whole of society to be grateful."
-The Reverend Keith C. Griffith, MBE

o "Stealing is a form of revenge against being deprived."
[Anonymous quote which can pertain to adoptees whose criminal behaviors stem from having been deprived of their families.]



PRISONER LOCATOR LINKS, BY STATE

NOTE: Not all state prisons provide online info about a prisoner's location (address)--Those that do are indicated, and those that don't will provide it by phone; ask for their Records Dept. on weekdays.

CALIFORNIA finally has an automated PRISONER LOCATOR website at http://inmatelocator.cdcr.ca.gov/
