For very sick little girls, sometimes a father can be the best medicine there is.
But the heartbroken family of a 10-year-old Nebraska girl diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, who is not expected to live through the end of the month, say the Federal Bureau of Prisons has denied the child's dying wish: that her incarcerated father be furloughed to be by his child's bedside when she dies.
Jason Charles Yaeger is serving the final year of a five-year sentence for a drug conviction in a minimum security prison camp in South Dakota, three and a half hours from his daughter, Jayci.

This story makes me mad. :mad: There's no reason such a stupid reason for imprisonment should be used against a child that is dying of cancer.
He's being treated like he is a murderer. This is why the War on Drugs needs to stop.
