I do know there have been songs like “Christmas in Prison”
in the past. They could identify with that.

[UCANSEE2]

Well, Christmas music isn’t bad.

After all, the prisoners could be forced to listen to Obama’s speeches 24/7.

Now that would be CRUEL and UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT

[Fiji Hill]

The 8,000 inmates also will hear, among others..."Let it Snow"

How appropriate for Maricopa County!

[Mr. K]

If I ran a prison it would be like being grounded...
you sit on your ass and read a book all day and keep quiet

these prisons where they work out and create gan wars in the prison yard- how do they let them get away with that?

that’s like being out on the street corner.

I am inclined to agree, being forced to listen to Kwanzaa songs is cruel and unusual punishment.

Grandma got ran over by a reindeer”....what a fav!!

[sbMKE]

If they think the current mix is cruel and unusual, substitute Irish line dancing music. They’ll find religion quick as they pray for the weedle-de-deedle-de-deedle-de-dee to stop.

May I suggest a holdiay favorite of mine?

It is “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” played my a Mariachi band. And yes, the horns are tuned sharp.

The first time I heard it, I almost ran off the road, then my ears started bleeding. It is so awful.

Another, particularly suitable for late at night is “Hark the Herald Angesl Sing” done by a punk band. 2 minutes of screaming the title followed by some chords. Really funny.

And a bit disturbing.

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,""Frosty the Snowman" and "Feliz Navidad." = TORTURE!

Years ago we had a C.O. who whistled constantly. He was good at it and had great pitch. Usually he caught an earworm from whatever was playing on the radio on the drive in to the jail. One day, around Christmas he was whistling as usual when a ruckus erupted in one of the female blocks. I went to the cell in question and discovered a female in the grip of an hysterically emotional meltdown. I inquired after the problem and once I got her calmed down enough to understand what she was saying, I learned that the problem was our whistling C.O. It seems that the earworm he picked up that on particular day was 'I'll Be Home For Christmas'. Something that wasn't true for her.

This one is funny

[ArrogantBustard]

a cruel and unusual punishment,

Being compelled to hear "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" and similar dreck is indeed cruel ... but since all inmates in Maricopa County are being subjected to it, it's not unusual.

I do, however, pity the poor Corrections Officers ...
