I figured it was too cold for the local thugs and gang bangers to be out....
They arrested his ass in the parking lot. He was begging the cops to shoot him as they were cuffing him. They probably should have taken him up on his offer. There?s a video of the arrest on FB and twitter.
She has died according to Commercial Dispatch.

Parchman used to be a prison farm.
Yeah... 75K per year to house this POS....
When I was in middle school in the late '60's we were taken on a class trip to see life at Parchment, toured the farms, housing, saw gas chamber and electric chair. Trustees were still being used and inmates worked in the fields. Strange, but I bought a homemade knife from a trustee as they were allowed to make and sell to visitors. Trip made a real lasting impact on the class. Sure today the courts have or would make working in the fields cruel and unusual punishment.
More states need to follow Kentucky?s lead on government programs. If you receive them and are of able body, you must work part time to continue receiving said benefits. Kentucky just passed a bill like this for Medicaid. It?s a damn good start.

Been here before. I believe they are mostly self sastained.
Part of this thread reminds me of a TV news interview I saw a few years back after Alabama brought back "chain gangs"... The reporter was from somewhere "more enlightened" and "progressive" and the expose' was to show how archaic the South and this practice was...
And when I say "chain gang", I mean that LITERALLY... a group of inmates were linked together with restraints and were picking up trash on the side of an AL HWY...
The reporter was allowed to interview one of the inmates (he was ~18-19) and it went kinda like this (paraphrasing and truncating):
Enlightened TV Chick: Sir, can you tell me about being on a chain gang?
Oppressed Inmate: I ought not be on no chain, yo... I ain't no dawg...
Enlightened TV Chick: So, what do you think about this practice and the penal system in Alabama?
Oppressed Inmate: It makes me know I don't wanna come back here...
