The county spent more than $600,000 on art for the jail, including a sculpture out front by the circular driveway. There are 30-foot vaulted ceilings and private showers. This is suppose to be a jail??

Don't you know? Without $600,000 worth of art, it's considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Oh I don't know. Maybe a sculpture of a good hanging would be okay with me.

The artwork is a rule the government types operate on around here. If they build a public building, a certain percentage of the cost has to be invested in really bad public art. It is a subsidy for lazy and untalented artist, and it makes leftist feel like they are doing something to improve the culture they are actually killing.
