But The Boston Herald reports that some law enforcement officials are outraged by the purchase.
“It sends the wrong message when they’re asking sheriff offices throughout the state to cut at least a million out of our budget,” said Worcester County Sheriff Guy Glodis, who says he recently removed TVs from the Worcester County House of Correction. “I would argue there are other things you can spend the money on that are more conducive to rehabilitation.”
You would ARGUE there are better ways to rehab, would you? Go south or west, Sheriff, and watch how they work the chain gangs out here, where we don’t worry about whether the prisoners have their MTV!
