Seen it.

Oh hell no, I don't give a flying fark what any of these women have done, you don't incarcerate people and then go "Sorry, we're too cheap to take care of you with the bare modicum of civility".

Now that I've completed the moral outrage portion of this post and have women in prison and their showers on my mind, I'll be in my bunk.

The lawyers in Oregon are salivating in anticipation of a class-action lawsuit.

Yeah... but do feel free to turn the water heater down to about ten degrees over body temp.

Hook 'em up to the water heater intake....

Uhh, hot water isn't a necessity. Cold water helps soap lather just as well. Hell, I've had to shower with cold water a frew times because the tank ran out. Was it unpleasant? Yes. But, these women ARE in prison.

Now they're gonna have to press close together to keep warm in the shower...

/bunk-time

Cold water is better than no water. I say.. keep the heat off the water tank.

/scrooge

As someone whose water pipes have been frozen solid for a week now, I don't care.

/and I stink.

Lawsuit! I hope they get rich.

Was lukewarm too much to offer? Listen, these people are trash, but forcing cold showers seems like some form of cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me. That is unusual, and its cruel in the sense that it makes cleansing the body a painful chore.

You don't do this crap in the middle of winter to anyone. I hope these women sue the pants off whomever is ultimately responsible.

On the bright side, there won't be any shortage of places for the guards to hang their keys. And if they need any glass cut they'll be in great shape.

We're not talking about the hot women in prison moves. We are talking about this...

Who cares???

In the womens prison
There are seventy women
And I wish it was with them
That I did dwell
Then that auld triangle could go jingle-jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal

Thank me later, ok?

Clearly. It's a good thing everyone in prison deserves to be there, and there are no exceptions to that statement.

I demand an inquiry. With pics of course.

BUNK TIME?

You guys aware of the size / looks of the average jailbird bird?

Nice work, studebaker hoch.

Since I don't know what the conditions really are, I guess I'll wait to decide whether or not it's wrong. Are the showers 'not hot' or are they ice cold, for example?

There are scads of attractive women in prison. Scads. I'm not sure what that number is, exactly, but hopefully scads means a lot.

They stopped serving milk in the prisons here. Just baloney sandwiches every meal.

It must be a bit nippley in those showers.

Someone should get this outrage on film

Reform Shcool Girls, not withstanding. I don't think so.

/TSG backs me up weekly.

They are prisoners, they shouldn't have any more than water and basic food at there disposal. To have anything more is pampering and should be a privilege, not a right.

It's farking cold up here all right, but not cold enough to chill my heart beyond the threshold of sorrow for large groups of wet, naked, naughty women who...

Changed picture to godwin your example.

INAL, but under the federal constituion, prisoners are entitled to one hot meal per day, I don't know what the constutional standard is for shower temp... The only legal remedy will be under the state constution, if it provides greater protection.

Women's prison? Put me down under "do not want."

Remember, the pretty ones get probation.

Maybe if the water is cold prisoners won't want to stick around long enough in the shower to rape somebody.

Nice...and then the hot water pipes burst because they aren't under pressure anymore and the water inside them freezes.

Resulting in a net savings of -100,000$

Poor, poor prisoners. WAH.

/F8ck them

Constance, your blog rocks.

That is all.

I agree, and furthermore, let's extend that rule to poor spellers.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking of class action but I came here to post a prediction of lawsuits. As a general rule, any standards applied to landlord/tenant should be applied to prisoner treatment also. (Obviously, some will not be relevant.)

Relatively Obscure: Since I don't know what the conditions really are, I guess I'll wait to decide whether or not it's wrong. Are the showers 'not hot' or are they ice cold, for example?

No heat = water at distribution pipe temperature. That's probably in the 40's or 50's.

you guys are gross.

So what if they're prisoners? I don't think a warm shower is too much to ask for.

Cold showers aren't that bad, get over it.

I don't see anyone calling for tax money to be spent to prevent prisoners from constantly raping eachother and all the other abuse they do to one another, but cold showers? thats it, thats where we draw the line?

shouldn't their water be cold and hard?

I drew the line about the rape thing... Cruel and unusual.

What of the "cruel and unusual punishment" right mentioned in the constitution?

The most cruel and unusual punishment of all is what we allow prisoners to do to each other.

Oh, and has anyone ever thought about what "cruel AND unusual" means? It means for it to be inappropriate it must be both cruel and unusual. So if its normal and its cruel then its fine.

Samsaran: CrispFlows: What of the "cruel and unusual punishment" right mentioned in the constitution?

I notice that it is cruel AND unusual and not cruel OR unusual. So, according to my analysis, if the punishment is merely cruel, but common place ... it is okay.

Not neccesarily so... Debtors prison was common but it was deemed cruel.

Lol, thats what I get for posting before reading all the posts.

This is pretty stupid, but I have a habit of stringing together the first/last words of consecutive greenlit headlines. If you take the last five, you get

That's all. See ya.
