Prisoners in the Pink

by

Do you remember that I wrote about a village in India recently that had painted the whole town pink? Well … Sherrif Clint Low of Mason Washington decided to try to deter inmates from becoming repeat offenders by covering the entire county jail with a pink wash.

I guess he liked the idea!

Even the prisoners uniforms had a change of color. Prisoners now wear pink jumpsuits and pink slippers. Low dyed the uniforms after finishing painting the jail pink. He did this to stop inmates from stealing clothes from each other.

The walls are painted pink in order to keep the inmates relaxed and keep the tempers at bay. So far things are working out with no fights between the prisoners.

The re-offense rate in the county is down by 70% too. Probably because release prisoners, if they’ve gone back to a life of crime might be doing it in a different county least they get caught again. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to return to the pink jail.






Help out a fellow blogger?

by

I’m not sure if you are aware of our financial situation but we have almost no money coming in these days. It’s not going to be a very nice holiday season for us, but we’ll get by, we always do one way or another.

What I was hoping though, was that if you are shopping online anyway, that perhaps you might go and shop at Amazon through my store link? It’s labeled- Gifts, Gadgets, Books and More!. I’ll make a small commission for each sale made through my links and that would really help us out.

I figured that a lot of people are doing their holiday gift shopping now, and many people shop online – sometimes at Amazon. Am I right? If I am, all I’m asking is that you take a look at the Amazon products through my store link. My store is stalked with just about everything that Amazon sells.

I also have a link in the right hand sidebar for Amazon gift certificates. If you are trying to get a gift for someone who’s hard to shop for maybe an Amazon gift certificate would work? That way they could purchase whatever their heart desires and you’ll have ended up giving the perfect gift in the long run.

Thanks in advance if you are one of the people who ends up shopping at Amazon through my store link. I really appreciate your help.

The red clothed thieves

by

On a recent Sunday night the Shreveport Police Department was notified of a strange robbery. The Robbery, occurring at 11:37 pm at an apartment on Lakeshore Drive, began with four or five men dressed in red clothing and wearing ski masks entering the apartment pointing guns. The masked robbers demanded that the people inside the apartment take off their shirts and pants. The thieves then put the clothing in a bag and fled.

No other items were reported as stolen. There weren’t any injuries either.

Pot was almost legalized in Nevada

by

Well the effort to legalize pot in Nevada has gone up in smoke. Nevada voters recently squashed the amendment when voting on a number of ballot issues. Question seven on the ballot called for a measure that would have allowed adults to possess up to one ounce of marijuana legally. The state would have also taxed and regulated the sale of weed.

Do any of my readers live in Nevada? How would you feel if pot had been legalized in your state?
