What would you do if you got Bill Hilary and Chelsey in your prison?

Asked by JAY about 6 years ago

Since I have been retired for 15 years, probably nothing. Also, neither Hillary nor Chelsey would come there, it is a male institution. Bill would probably be in protective custody. So I would probably laugh at him a lot, if I was there, which I wouldn't be.

Question! How has the prison system changed to your knolage since you retired

Asked by SMart cookie over 5 years ago

Yes. Quite a bit. The population has gone down very considerably due to "realignment" and changes in sentencing laws. Inmates are serving shorter sentences and the Covid infection has impacted things considerably towards staff and prisoners both. The death penalty is suspended (not that it has really been operational for almost 20 years anyway) and the politics of the system has swung very much towards the "warm and fuzzy" model of corrections.

Why are you rude to people who ask you questions sometimes?

Asked by Cjdnd about 6 years ago

I wouldn't say rude. I would say snarky. Some of the questions I get are really lame, and some of them are presented so poorly it is very hard to NOT say something snarky. I guess I am just a slave to my emotions. (Kind of like just now.)
