Punishing prisoners for sexual misconduct by making them wear pink places them in peril, a South Carolina inmate says in a lawsuit against the state's penal system.
The suit is the latest development in a nationwide effort by prison and jail officials to tap the power of pink to subdue criminals.
In the South Carolina case, Sherone Nealous claims that forcing inmates to wear pink is discriminatory and makes them more likely to be assaulted by other inmates. Nealous is serving time at the Allendale Correctional Institution for assault and battery with intent to kill, aggravated assault and assault and battery on a police officer.
Ok, so maybe I'm an asshole, but if you color coordinate what an inmate wears, I don't see a problem. It allows guards to quickly identify offenders who're likely to commit another crime against the staff. For example, dark green for the death row inmates allows a guard to quickly determine where he is as well as what he is at great distances. It also allows the staff to treat that inmate accordingly.
It's very difficult for me to feel sorry for people who've committed crimes against society as well as police officers and jail staff members.
Want to solve the problem and quickly get the inmate population under control? Make them all wear pink. Make jail/prison a miserable place to be. Take away everything except the news on TV and no radios. Take away weight lifting equipment. A lot of people don't have access to a gym and they are law abiding citizens. If the inmate wants to stay in shape, they can do pushups in their cells. Take away coffee, cigarettes, and other items that they enjoy. Sooner or later you'll notice people don't like jail/prison and don't want to come back.
