S.C. Prisons Director Defends Pink Plan | World Latest | Guardian Unlimited

Oh how I enjoy it when Sheriffs take it upon themselves to make sure that
criminals don't want to go back to jail
.  State Corrections Department John Ozmint puts inmates who do sexual acts in front of guards into pink prison jumpsuit's instead of the usual tan ones.

It reminds me of Sheriff Joe Arpaio who does something similar, but to ALL inmates.  Sheriff Arpaio is mentioned in the article, but the depth at which Mr. Arpaio took it isn't mentioned.  So I will show you what he's done here.

 

Pink jumpsuit's, pink cells, banning smoking, coffee, porn, weight lifting, chain gangs, charging inmates for their daily meals, the list goes on and on about what Sheriff Arpaio has done.  He's made it so that people don't WANT to come back to jail, which is fairly common with some inmates.  They complain about the food, lack of luxuries, and they get the same response:  "jail isn't supposed to be fun.  If you don't like it, don't come back"

 

I just wish that more police departments did this as it would probably make criminals either quit doing crime, or be a lot more careful about being caught.  Since most criminals are idiots, you can bet that most would stop.  I am curious about how crime has gone up or down within his jurisdiction during that time, but I am unable to find anything on it.  If you do happen to find something like it, send it my way and I'll forward it on.
