The jail gets the revenue that these generate. There are private phone companies that cater to jails and cut out the regular phone company.

Hear tell they're chargin' Ko-Whammy Kilpatrick $48.00 a day for his accommodations 'n fine dinin' in Detroit for the next hundred or so days.

Judgin' by what we pay for meals 'n motels fer big out-of-town shoots, that sounds like a deal to me.

[Texas Lawdog]

Arcey, Does that include a turndown at night and an Andies mint on the pillow?

[Arcey]

<snicker>

He'd prolly 'preciate it. After a week er so ah spendin' 23 hours a day in a 12x14 cell, he's gonna appreciate anything he kin get.

[Texas Lawdog]

I only got one thing to say to him, "DON'T DROP THE SOAP"!

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Prisoners....... Dressed in orange....... Me?     Naw......

I caused 'em to be in orange. Once they were in orange I didn't mess with 'em. They're yucky.

They doan dress em in orange enny more Cuzzin, now they dress em up like tha Hamburgeler.

People in tha jail go robble, robble, robble when they walk past jest ta mess with em.

[Texas Lawdog]

Our Trustees wear the black/white stripes, the rest wear green coveralls.

[Arcey]

Think cuzzin Trina's are still orange. Last I seen of 'Sheriff McCabe's Werk Force' they was in orange too.

The trustees, the ones what were gophers 'n basically roamed free, wore dark colored work clothes. Looked like subcontractors er sumthin'.

[Texas Lawdog]

You can't tell one from another without a program. I refer to the Trustees as Riskees.

[Leo Tanner]

They still have orange here fer the regular population.  Good boys and girls get ta live in dorms and wear blue an co-mingle in the day room.  Last guy I talked to who had been in the blue section said they had pool tables and ping pong.  I thought he was pullin ma leg, but others confirmed it. 
     The bad boys in orange get the little cells and decks of cards that are missin a few.  I had no trouble believing that part.

Those folks who can't follow the rules get special treatment.

One of the plumbers I was supervisin' last spring went on and on about how everytime he'd take a book off the book cart and back ta his cell he'd get half way through it an there'd be a bunch of pages missin'.
     Mebbe it's just me, but I thought it was perty funny.  I told him, "at least they tore out the middle 'stead of lettin' ya get through the whole thing and rippin out the end.  Made sense ta me.

They were probably using the pages for cigarette papers.

[Arcey]

...or to stop the toilets up with..

[Texas Lawdog]

That's prolly more like it.

[Leo Tanner]

OK, now that we've established how dumb I am in various other threads, I'm gonna go out on a limb and ask why the hell they'd wanna stop up the john?          Seems like one ammenity ya wouldn't want ta mess with.
     It couldn't be the ciggarette thing, cause they aint allowed ta smoke here.

Even I know that one, they like causin' trouble and that's the reason they're in there in the first place.

[Leo Tanner]

That crossed ma mind, but screwin with other folks is one thing.  Makin yer ownself uncomfortable is just stupid. 
     But I guess that just proves yer point Del.

[Ozark Tracker]

some folks are on the strange side,  just look at some of the major riots over the last 30 or 40 years, somebody starts a riot and what do they do burn and destroy their own community,   thier own people.

duh,  hello

[Leo Tanner]

Good point OT.
     I've often wondered what was goin through them peoples heads.  I guess the answer is (drumroll please).........

NOTHING

     "Oh, I'll get the Man good this time.  I'll loot an burn that store ma neighbor owns!  I'm a genious!"
