What do you think of websites that publish mug shots for ever? Even if the person is not guilty or has charges dismissed. I mean book and release, 24 hour holds, minor crimes, and things found not guilty or dismissed are there forver and I saw a news

Asked by Martina about 5 years ago

An arrest is public record A mug shot is public record. That being said there are now a fair number of news outlets, at least in CA, who have recently stopped the practice of publishing mug shots of people not yet convicted.

Hey homie bro why are so many COs on their high horses and think their better then the prisoners yo? Cuz that don’t make no sense bro we pepppe too bro

Asked by Ramon almost 5 years ago

Might be because we are smart enough or "good enough" to not be convicted felons and, at the end of the day, we get to go home to our families while the prisoners don't. That doesn't mean that prisoners aren't people. It does mean that they are criminals and we are not.

Do inmates celebrate Christmas?

Asked by Andy about 5 years ago

The Christian ones do. The Muslims and Jews, not so much. Pagans celebrate the Winter Solstice which happens near Christmas, but not right on Christmas.

What is the BOP and what does it do

Asked by Terri almost 5 years ago

BOP is the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I believe it works under the Attorney General's Office. Assuming I remember correct the federal system is a dual arrangement. They have PRISONS and CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS. The prisons are essentially people warehouses for prisons doing long confinements, life or condemned prisoners. They are security oriented. The Correctional Institutions pretend to offer rehabilitative services and programs.
