Good points.
When asked why he went about with a lamp in broad daylight, Diogenes confessed, “I am looking for an honest man.”
Can you IMAGINE??
What if the prisoners banded together. And elected a whole school board of convicted child molesters? Just because, they could. and it would be funny..
convicted embezzlers into town council/ town auditor etc..
Dept of health, restaraunt inspectors...
And if they elected a State position.. Would they have to allow that state rep, to move to and from prison and the state house as an offical gov function?
With the sheer numbers in a prison. It is very easy to see a LOT of inmates getting elected to any number of slots.
