Overcrowded Jails
“Fix Up the Jail or Wait for a Lawsuit,” Commentary, April 3:
Ramona Ripston of the ACLU complains about overcrowding in jail, prisoners sleeping in crowded housing units with bunks and mattresses so close that they touch, not enough shower time, not enough towels, clothing, toilet articles, etc.
Good God, oh my, jump up and down and hold my breath until I turn blue. Poor babies. I guess the only way these jewels of the city can have all these wonderful things is to stay out of jail. Don’t break the law. Must be a real toughie, only 95% of us can do it.
