DURHAM - Mike Nifong, the disbarred former district attorney, walked into the Durham County jail this morning, holding the hand of his lawyer and with his wife by his side...First he will be processed and given an orange jumpsuit and soft sandals to wear behind bars, lawyers say.

Real-time schadenfreude

[Vaquero]

next comes Ronnie Earle.....I hope.

[showme_the_Glory]

He should be a hero in prison. He was trying to proscecute innocent whiteys.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Maybe someone will shank him like to did the Duke boys.

holding the hand of his lawyer and with his wife by his side

I don't think I want any more details on this!

[SergeiRachmaninov]

Beautiful...a picture is worth a thousand words!

(I hope some enterprising jailer with a cell phone can snap him in orange...would be a good market for that pic.)

[theDentist]

They’ll put him in the special wing, no way they’d put him in General Population.

[Sue Perkick]

Why isn’t this POS in handcuffs like the boys were? Fong actually committed a crime.

[Sue Perkick]

I’d buy one!

[theDentist]

He’s reporting to jail on his own. It’s not like them little people who are picked up by the police or are being shuttled over from courts in police custody.

[SergeiRachmaninov]

They’ll put him in the special wing, no way they’d put him in General Population.

I am hoping that even in the "special wing" it smells like urine. And maybe he can hear some of his rowdy peers banging around and yelling, "Hey...wha' dat mo' fo doin' in here," etc., etc.

I like my schedefreude vivid...if only with imaginative details.

[Sue Perkick]

And to think he refused to let the guys turn themselves in although they all said they were willing to do so. He forced them into the “perp walk” so he could publicly humiliate them. Contempt isn’t even close to being a strong enough word.

Ping

[TommyDale]

I would have enjoyed it if he had been handcuffed and given the perp walk like the Duke students.

Nifong reports to Durham jail

Wow...and for 1 whole day, too.

That'll learn 'em.

Time for a song by one Tommy Armstrong, who was actually singing about the jail in a different Durham:

“Ye’l awl hev ard o’ Dorham

But it wad ye much sorprise

To see the prisoners in the yard,

When they’re on exorcise

The yard is built eroond wi’ walls,

Se’ noabil and se’ strang,

Whe ivor gans there heh te bide

Thor time be it short or lang

CHORUS

There’s nee gud luck in Dorham Jail

Theres nee gud luck at awl

Whats the breed en skilly for

But just te make ye small

When ye gan te Dorham Jail

They’ll find ye wi emploi,

They’ll dress ye up se dandy

In a suit o cordy roy;

They’ll fetch a cap wi’oot a peak

En nivvor axe yer size

En like yer suite its cordy roy

En cums doon ower yer eyes

The Forst month is th’ worst of aal

Yor feelins’ they will try

There’s nowt but two greet lumps e wood,

On which ye hae to lie

Then eftor that ye gans te bed,

But it is ard as stoanes

It neet ye daresn’t make a torn

In case ye break some bones”

[TommyDale]

"We shall overcome..."

Probably close to what’s in his little pea brained mind.
