Read the USA Today article -- it shows that there are different colors used in that prison for different classes of prisoners. Seems rather sensible to me.

Well, of course if you don’t commit a crime this wouldn't ever be a problem.

Personally I believe prisoners are entitled to the minimum in the way of sustenance, a place to exercise (no weights), medical treatment if they become ill or injured, a place out of the elements to sleep and that is it.

Coffee, TV, books, music and all the other things enjoyed by law abiding citizens should be denied. The difference between law abiding and law breaking should be brought home as plainly and painfully as is possible.

My apologies, I had a train of phone calls and just got back on computer. I did not intend to post an off-topic link to your thread, thought it was interesting how these students handled bullying and agree, just make them all wear pink.

Just searched and someone found article before me.

Forgot about the USA Today / Gannet thing. I reported my post to the mods for their resolution. Thanks for the reminder.

That might be credible IF the reason they're wearing pink is because of something he'd done. In fact, if I were the warden, I'd probably react by changing all the prison garb to lavendar with charteuse polka dots...and let every inmate know why. (That'd never happen again)

Not in Serrif Aripao's tent city yet. And I don't think there will be.

Phil Valentine was talking about this yesterday. The first thing I thought of was Sheriff Joe. SC went a step furthur and claimed it was the only color left, LOL.
