Arsenic levels too high in Kern Valley State Prison's drinking water

[HAL 9000 96]

Those poor criminals. Prisoners should have more rights. They should be given Perrier to drink.

I take it you've never had a friend or relative sentenced to prison?

you have?

and btw, a brother in law from my first marriage was a convicted felon.

Yes and I don't think of them any less for it. While I don't think prison should be a resort, the prisoners deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

with the former bil, it wasn't really a surprise - auto insurance fraud. and i'll agree on the part of it not being a resort.

Check out the Federal low security camps where white collar convicts get to go. Not to far from a resort on our dime too.

I come from a long line of criminals and convicts. We love arsenic in our water. We're crazy like that.

Ah yes, because everything HAS to be an extreme, doesn't it?

Remember, There can be Only One.

Would that be You?

No.

I knew a young woman from church whose mother was sent to prison for check fraud. While the behavior is despicable, I don't think that takes away the love her daughter has for her, or the fact that her mother is still a human being and deserves to be treated as one.

Sorry, but there can be only extremes. Either she gets sparkling water served to her by young, nubile virgins, or she gets arsenic treated, feces laden water served by AIDS infested child molesters. And I'm sorry, but I don't want my tax dollars paying for young nubile virgins for prisoners.

that's often the way it goes here isn't it...

Still - its amazing how a discussion about how prison facilities lack basic sanitation develops into angry diatribes about how prisoners have too many rights.
