Ping worthy?
Prisoners shouldn’t have ANY televisions. Nor radios. They should be punished for crimes they committed. They should be doing farm work, or other work, to pay for their incarceration costs.
Isn’t there some brave Republican Senator out there who will STOP this or at LEAST shed some light—c’mon Bob Dole even said, “let the sun shine in!” THis is totally crazy!! I think I am being driven to run for office by the morons up there in DC!
They get to watch the Super Bowl instead of picking up the trash and making license plates? WE have chain gangs out here, Massachusetts, get a plan!
What? No Tivo? I smell an ACLU lawsuit.
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.”
Ya know - the switch isn’t until the week AFTER the SuperBowl - they should’ve waited until 6 months after the switch to buy new TVs. Heck, even with Direct TV, I would have to PAY for HDTV. We aren’t... Darn choices sensible people make... (LOL)
