We've all the seen the "impartial" approach taken when investigating perceived wrongs committed against the incarcerated criminals. If the convicts/prisoners had not committed the heinous crimes(s) to be where they are there would not be a problem. The Correction Officer in any prison is all that stands between other crime being committed and for their reward...they are treated worse than the jailbirds they are guarding and protecting from each other by having an investigation by the DOJ. Great system we've got! The animals are running the Zoo! Friends, neighbors, boys and girls the DOJ entering into the arena will be a defining moment!

I can just about guarantee you that it was not in Alabama or a DOJ joint. I work for the DOJ and I can promise you that they do not give you specialty coffee and cinnamon buns for breakfast. The buns, maybe, it they're on the institutional meal plan for that day. Specialty coffee might be available at an exorbitantly high price in the inmate commissary, but it would not be served in food service. Nancy Grace would not be guilty of sensationalizing, would she? Some Alabama (and Florida) prisons need extreme reform for the safety of the officers and staff, as well as the inmates. DOJ provides humane confinement with opportunities for self-improvement to the incarcerated population. GED is a congressional mandate, for those without high school diplomas. The inmates WILL program to improve, or they will lose their good conduct time. You get the idea. @ Bewildered:

She was discussing and showing detailed surveillance of a mass murderer confined in jail. He slept what looked like a comfortable bed until noon - then he ordered from a menu a specialty coffee with a cinnamon bun for breakfast. I could not believe my eyes and ears - is this five star hotel environment the Department of Justice wants for all prisons? If the public agrees to make such a change, we all have completely lost our minds .
