Correction

For the past few days I've been hooked on this show called "Lockup: Raw". I've always been a fan of any discovery channel or history channel show and this was no exception. Tonight there was a particular prison they covered called the Maricopa Correctional Facility. The sheriff in charge of this prison is scrutinized for the way he runs it because he put the inmates in pink underwear, striped uniforms, puts everyone on a chain gang, provides only 3 channels of television, and implements a system called the "tent city" where inmates live outside on bunks under tents. His newest idea was to put a stationary bike that powers the television in the tent city which plays any channel the inmates choose. To power it, someone has to turn the pedals constantly. What a concept, work for something you want in jail!

I can't say that I sympathize with inmates from the get go nor do I feel like the sheriff has gone overboard. Inmates are complaining that these conditions aren't humane or that it's not fair to them. Last time I checked prison wasn't designed as a resort and spa where you go to relax and spend your time in peace and comfort to think about what you've done wrong. These assholes spend small time under these tents while soldiers that SIGN UP to put their lives on the line for their nation, live in very similar conditions in foreign countries! You don't have television? You get crappy food? You have to wear pink underwear and clean up highways on a chain gang? Tough fucking balls for you buddy. Maybe next time you'll think of that pink underwear before you steal a car, sell a drug, hurt an innocent life or drive drunk.

Crime isn't your ticket to solitude and a "time out", you act stupid you get treated as an idiot. When are people going to face the consequences of their own actions!? 

Absolutely mind boggling. I want to shake that sheriff's hand and make him president!
