An Oregon woman whose inmate boyfriend died from a meth-laden kiss after a prison visit was sentenced to two years behind bars Tuesday on a drug conspiracy charge. Melissa Ann Blair and Anthony Powell shared a long kiss at the end of a visit last year at the Oregon State Penitentiary and she passed seven tiny balloons filled with methamphetamine into his mouth. Two of the balloons ruptured in Powell's stomach a short time later and he died of methamphetamine toxicity, prosecutors have said.

Sounds like that visit ended pretty badly for both of them.

Meth is a hell of a drug...

Powell’s close friend, Brandy Pokovich, attended the hearing and said she became pen pals with him after he wrote to her husband — a former inmate — and she replied to him instead. Over a dozen years, Pokovich said, they formed a deep bond through letters, phone calls and visits.

"He was not just an inmate. He was a very loved and cared-for person who had a family that would always be there no matter what," she said.
Outside court, Pokovich said she helped Powell find girlfriends by using her social media accounts and introduced him to Blair.
"Inmates" have it good. Our taxpayer-built fascist corporate-government prison system is a vacation. I worked my butt off all my life and was proud when I could afford my first apartment and cook my first steak. Maybe I should go to jail, instead, to have some time to read and study, free.

I guess that is one advantage to having all your teeth rot out. I’m having a hard time thinking of a second.
