Why is she being allowed media interviews of any kind? I didn’t realize that was in the Federal Prisoner’s Rule Book.

Now that would be cruel and unusual punishment!

#19: "Aren’t all orangutans ginger?"

Well, yes. It seems "orange" is actually part of their name. And for that matter aren't all orangutans soulless?

Yeah, and I said the same thing when that POS was getting interviews inside the brig. Glad to see Australia wouldn’t let the pervert in their country.

Well, the orang means “person” in Malay, not orange, although it’s ironic that the Dutch (House of Orange) controlled much of the orangutan’s range in the Dutch East Indies. The -utan means “woods”. Man of the woods. Don’t know the status of their souls.

Since when are prisoners not allowed to give interviews? Prisoners, particularly notorious or famous ones, give interviews all the time.

We don't just toss people in a dark pit and slam the lid shut. Prisoners are allowed to have contact with the outside world.

"We don't just toss people in a dark pit and slam the lid shut. Prisoners are allowed to have contact with the outside world."

I'm fully aware of that. I worked in uniform as a C.O. and Sergeant for 25 years in NY State's prison system. I've been retired for 15 years. Never approved of murderers, or any other criminals (traitors included), getting interviewed by the media when I was working, and still don't. One recently deceased POS that was interviewed several times during his incarceration was Winston Moseley...the murderer of Kitty Genovese. When he was at Attica, he escaped while on an emergency outside hospital trip, took a woman and her husband hostage, and repeatedly raped the woman in front of her husband. He was finally recaptured. This f'er had a cushy job as a porter in the Administration Building at Auburn C.F. All these years later I'll never understand how a rapist and murderer could get a job like that, working among the female clerical staff in the Admin Building, and be able to plead his case in front of a National TV audience. Before even taking the job, I remember seeing a CBS 60 minutes program where he was being interviewed. One of my first posts as a new C.O. was on the Wire Gate (where inmates had to pass through to get to the Admin Building), and up walks Winston Moseley. I recognized him immediately from the program I had seen a few years before.

The a-holes had their chance to tell their stories in the court room. They don't need a public forum to gain sympathy and gather support. After all, their victims don't have the same option. And why should traitors be given that opportunity? Prison is supposed to punish, protect the public, deter the inmate, and reform them. It shouldn't include prisoners being treated like movie stars.

OK...............

“I am bad but others are worse.”

Hey, whatever gets you through the night, hon.

Yep - usually the folks that do the Ii am bad, but others are worse" deal are those who rail against the sins of others - and they usually manage to omit actually mentioning their own sins....they would never do it with crime as the topic....especially since it is very right to delineate crime by severity but in God's being, even the smallest sin is as bad as the greatest.....ironic....
