They forgot to mention the basketball courts.

When this jail opened, all the local judges were invited to spend the night, with their wives.

Some of them actually did that. (I'm not joking.)

Their own wives?

Terrorists getting to play basketball? Sounds like Club Gitmo.

No matter how nice the modern jails are, one of the things that you probably never think about is what happens if there's a fire?

I used to serve on a committee that, among other things, had oversight over a local jail. If that place ever catches on fire, they don't seem to have any plans in place. They never even have fire drills . . . . which I can understand, but no contingency planning gives me the willies.

Probably not much chance of a bad fire since the buildings are made out of concrete and brick, but still . . . .
