Here's an excellent example of the popular misconception of the conditions in American prisons. Prisons, even minimum security ones, are not "country clubs", and they certainly are not an enjoyable place to be as you seem to think, Lady Sage. If it's cable tv and free education, I'm committing a crime next week! Here are some examples:

Alas, this is naught but the ramblings of an insane woman and should probably be ignored but hey, just my 2 cents.

There are several threads discussing gun control, and this comment is probably best posted there.
