At least they let me use my laptop and provide me with free wireless internet while I'm waitin' for the judge to hang me. I gotta go, Bubba wants to check the stock market.

jwho sees the glass half empty. crk (i think) and df see it half full. i tend toward the half full glass. yes, the civil/criminal justice industrial-complex has to deal with baaad actors. but as df suggests, there are many caught in its wide net of authoritarian and socially sanctioned prosecutorial enthusiasm - innocent, not that guilty, and nonviolent. jmo - and making a guess: bad actors = 60% of the pool. the others = 40% of the pool - those that could/should be dealt with in better way than now. society hasn't figured it out - too lazy and doesn't care. it only matters when it affects you as an individual, and then society still doesn't care |

It probably makes the guard's jobs easier. If the inmates are doing something like playing with puzzles, then they're probably slightly less likely to think about causing trouble.
