I may be wrong here, but don't a rather large group of convicts share one t.v.?
Would that entire group of criminals have to display good behavior to get to watch their soaps?
I understand your reasoning, but it just doesn't apply to a jail. Unless they are lifers (or institutionalized), their incentive is to get out, period.
What are the chances that an entire cell-block is going to behave? I would venture a guess at zero.
A previous poster mentioned the differences between the benfits that convicts get versus what we got in the service. They had it better, believe me. Better food, more sleep, less work, more t.v., more free time, etc., etc.
If people who reside in the area affected by this Sheriff are happy, that is good enough for me. They would know better than anyone else, I imagine.
