As one example of this dichotomy, for over a decade suburban jails in Southern California have been renting upscale cells to affluent people convicted of crimes in Los Angeles County. These pay-to-stay programs, also called self-pay jails, cost wealthy prisoners between $45 and $175 a day and include such amenities as iPods, cell phones, computers, private cells and work release programs. Some even let prisoners (who are referred to as “clients”) bring in their own food. This nicer-jail-stay-for-pay scheme not only allows the rich and famous – as well as the more modestly affluent – to avoid the brutality, squalor, abysmal medical care and other unpleasant conditions typical in public jail systems. It also highlights the inequities of a two-track system of justice in the United States in which the wealthy enjoy privileges and perks behind bars while the poor are resigned to less comfortable and more dangerous conditions of confinement.You are not allowed to view links.

Well of course he has a cell phone. That is more important to him than monitoring patients or getting help for them because he has to speak to several women, being the ladies man that he obviously is. Oh, but he will record his patients on his cell "unknowingly" when they're all "drugged up". And he needs the phone to repeatedly declare his innocence on tv shows, and sometimes sing. Oh AND he needs to leave random voicemails about how awful prison is because one can only play so many games on a cell phone before they start to go stir crazy and start losing use of their limbs and whatnot.
“Dr. Murray was given a phone because of the resources it would take to take him out of his cell to take him to the pay phone were just tapping the already very limited jail resources,” said the source...The disgraced cardiologist isn’t housed in the general population of the Los Angeles County jail because he is considered a “high value target” by other inmates because of his role in Jackson’s 2009 death.
@sweetangel: yep .. a computer, a 152 inches 3D tv, iPod and of course having brought in his baby mama's home cooked meals :icon_geek:QuoteAs one example of this dichotomy, for over a decade suburban jails in Southern California have been renting upscale cells to affluent people convicted of crimes in Los Angeles County.

In this article, the training manager for the National Sheriff's Association is named Mike Jackson :icon_lol:...that's just funny.
Said the source: “Clearly complaining about having ‘explosive diarrhea’ has paid off for the doctor!”
