Jane Evelyn Atwood Quotes

If An Inmate Swears At A Guard, Fights, Or Hides Contraband Like Cigarettes Or Candy [Sheriff Arpaio Has Banned Coffee, Cigarettes, Hot Lunches, Girlie Mags & TV], She's Kicked Out Of The Tents And Sent To Lockdown--a Tiny Cell 10x12 Feet That Houses 4 Women, Instead Of The 2 It Was Built For. There's No Tv, No Phone, & No A/c. Even Though Most Of These Women Have Drug Problems, Programs Like NA Or AA Are Considered 'privileges' Forbidden To Those Locked Down. The Only Way To Get Out Of Lockdown Is To Volunteer For The Chain Gang--the First & Only Female Chain Gang In The United States (as Of Aug 1997). Volunteers Sign A Paper That Says They Know & Accept The Conditions On The Chain--cleaning Phoenix Streets, Painting The Center Strip Of Miles Of Highway, & Burying AZ's Indigent. The Accusation Of 'cruel & Unusual Punishment' Is Quashed By The Argument That The Chain Gang Is Purely Voluntary. After All, If You Prefer, You Can Spend The Whole Year In Lockdown.
