The prison system is so corrupt. In Florida they are even shorting the meal trays talking about a cause for a dissension. That is all most have is there meal and a trip to the library .Thanks,White Wolf.

I guess the new meaning for the word JAIL is now Just An Inmates Life!!! Talk about not having to do the time for the crime. What a damn crock!!!

Sometimes I just can't help but be sarcastic.. "that sounds like the worst kind of abuse in jails there ever could be! OMG, those prisoners should be strung up by their *&%*@ and fed ex-lax! Those evil people should be punished for having recliners, they should have to sleep on the floor naked with just a hole in the floor for a toilet. After all, they committed a crime. None of the rest of us have ever committed a crime."
It sounds to me that the warden wasn't a very good manager, but I didn't hear a whole lot about how the inmates were assaulting guards. I didn't hear anything about how the guards were abusing the inmates. Maybe it was a more functional environment than these cowboy torture 'em set ups that are far more common than this unusual situation? They'll probably punish the inmates for the crap they got away with, rather than the warden in charge, cause that's just the way this country works.

Sherie I agree with you as well. For the life of me I can not imagine something like that going on in a jail. Where are the ethics ?????????
