Man Jailed for health threat

[Trilby]

I vote Dana gives him a sponge bath and then supplies all his needs.

Um. Jail is supposed to be really unpleasant. The theory is that you will change your ways and not be too eager to be re-incarcerated. At least, that's the theory in the US. YMMV in the UK.

I'll bet this guy was given many, many, many chances to conform. It's not like people get their jollies throwing other people in jail. The cops I know just wish everyone would act right so their job wouldn't be necessary.

It's also quite possible that his electronics need to be destroyed. Pity, that. I guess we could keep them around and take the chance that his deadly strain of TB just...uh, promises not to hurt anyone else.

No it isn't.

blah blah blah... crime? What crime? What was his crime? He's in jail, right? For what crime?

still waiting...


nobody? nuttin?


Ok, his "crime" remember, was not wearing a mask. So, you're all saying that he should be imprisoned with grotesquely exaggerated restrictions to his freedom that would have been completely moot, had he worn his mask. Wear a mask==everything's cool. No mask==solitary confinement, no proper bathing facilities, no electronics, no end date for his imprisonment, etc. WTF?

Seriously. If it would have been ok for him to walk free with a mask, why is he Hannibal freakin Lecter in prison? The whole "I don't want our plumbing to get cooties" thing particularly irritates me. Do you have any idea how much harder it is to contain airflow than it is to contain wastewater? If this is really happening properly, his cell would have to have negative air pressure, and a set of airlocks, apparently they already have the HEPA filters, and a method for incinerating this medical waste. Plumbing isn't 100x harder. What's already being done for his wastewater? Is he peeing in bottles? Poopin in diapers? Spitting his toothpaste spit into a biohazard bag, or has the toothbrush been confiscated too? Come on.

Actually jail is also used to house people who haven't been found guilty yet. Technically he isn't supposed to be punished unless he has been found guilty. Once he's found guilty, then he can be defenestrated.
