"In... in these conjugal visits, you can have sex with women?"
Posted on 12/09/2017 8:07:23 AM PST by x1stcav
ne sunny day in October, at the Jefferson Parish correctional center just across the river from downtown New Orleans, Tiffany Burns, 34, was visiting her boyfriend.
The pair had been dating for almost two years and were still giggly in love when a late July knock on the door sent him away. Scooped up by the police after being accused of robbing a suburban bank at gunpoint, Chrishon Brown, 37, was sent to the correctional center while his case worked its way through the court.
A new, unwelcome chapter of their relationship began, with Brown using all his jail funds to call Tiffany, and Tiffany visiting as often as she could.

“boyfriend” Oh how sweet. I’m starting to feel sympathy already. < /s>
Leave it to the guardian to care about the “rights” or prisoners, and not about their victims.
“Scooped up by police”. Too bad his innards weren’t being scooped up from the bank floor.
I must need more coffee.
Sounds like a real love story.
There are places in the world where prisioners are not fed. It is up to the family to bring food for them. Now go cry me a frikkin river about your face-to-face visitation. Most likely this has interfered with somebody’s drug smuggling and they are upset.
Tiffany needs to re-evaluate her screening of potential boyfriends.
Snarks aside, if she was driving an hour each way, it wasn't "free" before, she was paying $5-7 in gas every time, and I'm sure there's time limit on the visits. This way, if you can pay for more time, you can visit longer.
I’ve seen it all. Contraband passed during contact and secure visits. Female inmates impregnated and visiting females impregnated. This will free up staff allow more resources to be devoted to staff contraband introduction, which is also a serious problem.
As the saying goes: “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.”
And keep your eye on the sparrow.
Boo-hoo.
Actions have consequences.
No doubt the inmates are served domestic champagne and the indoor pool only gets cleaned once a week! Such oppression!!
Somebody needs to have a talk with Tiffany. :-)
This whole story reeks of normalizing the idea of women being with criminals. It’s now some honorable notion to be committed to a guy in jail.
Reminds me of an old almost sixty year old TV comedy show in which Mickey Rooney is playing an inmate getting his shoes shined by the Warden. It was a “Baby Face Nelson” spoof on how soft prisons were back in the 1950s.
Found it! Jack Benny show. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0613694/

These articles are not for true prison reform which is needed desperately. It is a fluff piece to obscure the true inhumanity of prisons—the rape and real humiliation and degradation of the prisoners which make them more evil than when they go in.
The people who murder and kill and rape children need a death sentence—within a year of time of the murder or rape of child.
The system is far from being what it should be—a correction facility which needs to instill virtuous work habits and a mind change.
They need to force a Christian Bible study on all prisoners (they are no longer “free” and need a good ethics system (basic Christianity is proven the best throughout history—no other), and they need to learn work habits.
They need to learn to work and pay for their own room and board and not be living off the hard-working virtuous people. All visits, TV privileges, recreational activities, food other than the basic soup and bread, are only allowed for good behavior period—they have to earn them. Strict dress habits and all tattoo’s removed, all hair cropped short for males. All interaction with prisoners need to be on camera and recorded—especially by the guards and reviewed every single night.
Prisoners will not be able to be productive citizens, to be married, raise a family, until they learn and embed a work ethic and some basic morality. Habits are formed by repetition only and prisons can be a great place to control their activities and embed healthy habits. Now it is used to embed evil habits and an evil worldview so prisoners become future time bombs to destroy civil society.
I liked the ad for a killer phone with a killer camera.
I am a retired correctional officer. I can tell you that between visitations and phone calls, the inmate continues to operate his street business. Visits should be limited to holidays and earned by good behavior. All phone calls should be recorded.
