Ousted Mayor [Democrat Kwame Kilpatrick] Goes On Shopping Spree (in jail)
WDIV-TV Local 4 ^ | December 12, 2008

DETROIT -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick went on a shopping spree during his first full day in jail, spending $40 on food, toiletries and XXXL long johns.

Records released Friday to the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News show Kilpatrick's purchases included granola bars, barbecue potato chips, shampoo and $2 worth of Vaseline.

In late October, Kilpatrick began serving a 120-day sentence for obstruction of justice and assault. With good behavior, he could be out of jail after 100 days.

Kilpatrick was in a scandal that involved courtroom lies, sex with a top aide and incriminating text messages.

The Wayne County jail did not release the names of Kilpatrick's visitors. He reported to jail in a business suit and had 18 pairs of socks and $67.

A friend of mine is a guard at Southern Michigan. He says you haven’t lived till you write a guy up for sexual misconduct with dinner.

Liver, it’s what’s for dinner and then some.

In yet another ironic twist, his mother's last name is Cheeks-Kilpatrick....

Rush is right yet again, this is a sit-com.

I wondered what the inmates were complaining about at dinner. In my day, they generally used socks. But you can find weird stories in almost any prison.

I didn’t know they wrote them up. Thought they’d be taking cell phone photos by now. It’s been a while.

A black friend of mine uses it for dry skin. She calls it “ash”, funny gray looking areas on her skin where dry skin builds up. It does look flaky and gray like ashes.

And for those non-Michiganders out there who are wondering; yes, living in prison is an upgrade from living in Detroit.

I said earlier, he just needs some time out to plan his run for congress.

No, no. As an insider, I'm sure you can give much more info on Georgia Peach and other bizarre lubricants. Noob.

As a white person that grew up amongst black people, I can attest to "ash".

White folks get it, too, but it isn't as apparent on us.

It's just dry skin.

I hate to sound like a Queer Eye sorta guy, but... uh... Moisturizer!

Ash is an issue for African Americans with overly dry skin. But in prison, you’d think he’d get a topical for it from the infirmary. Vaseline...is just too ghetto. LOL

Vaseline just makes the residue stick to the skin and doesn’t offer any medical relief, a medicinal topical does.

I appreciate your lack of respect in the anonymity of the internet and I defer to your knowledge of which lubricants are bizarre and which are not.

“Maybe it was for the crowd to fit into him....?”

Excellent point...perhaps I have the “order of operations” reversed.

Yes, Sorry to say, President Bush signed into law. For all you hoping that prison was one un-ending sodomy experience.....it's not.

Regardless of what you see on MTV...

At our academy there was a lot of debate about the court decisions on the death penalty.

My Lt, drew a cartoon of two electric chairs. Over one it said "Extra Crispy." Over the other "Original." The inmate and a guard and the chaplain are walking in and the guard says "Your choice."

We labeled this type of joke "correctional dementia."
