Actually, I don't know thing one about Pelican Bay. I'd appreciate some info. If I were king... the jail would be a huge indoor warehouse and the cells would be made by the folks who make beer coolers or those awful plastic playsets. Each cell would be seven by seven by seven, plastic, stackable six high by forklift. Each prisoner would prominently wear a barcode (lifers would have it tattooed on. Your choice - both palms or the forehead?) Once a day, each prisoner would be transferred into a new cell. The old one would have its toilet emptied, be put thru a hot soapy wash (like a car wash), and put in the "Fresh" stack. Cruel&unusual? No more so than holding some wife&kids hostage in a bank! Incorporating prisons into our space program? Too expensive, what with the $1000 a pound cost of boost orbit! I know - we charge'm for air on a weight basis! No cash? No problem - there's the door.... Am I being nasty? Maybe. I'm a little fed up with our society's obsession with the rights of prisoners. Prisoners should have rights, definitely. Society is charged with keeping them. But the right to TV or to sue is a bit much for this disgruntled taxpayer.
