Ex-Florida prison boss: Drunken orgies tainted system
 

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/02...tml?eref=yahoo

Softball, drunken orgies and a prison system run like the mafia. That's what Florida's former prison secretary says he inherited when he took over one of the nation's largest prison systems two years ago.

McDonough revealed a startling list of alleged abuses and crimes going on inside Florida's prisons:

? Top prison officials admitting to kickbacks;

? Guards importing and selling steroids in an effort to give them an edge on the softball field;

? Taxpayer funds to pay for booze and women;

? Guards who punished other guards who threatened to report them.

McDonough described a bizarre prison culture among those that ran the system -- one that he says seemed obsessed with inter-department softball games and the orgies after games.

"I cannot explain how big an obsession softball had become," he said. "People were promoted on the spot after a softball game at the drunken party to high positions in the department because they were able to hit a softball out of the park a couple times."

i don't get it, there's a problem with running a prison this way?

Yeah, you send somebody in jail and they get out 10xmore fucked up

whats wrong with taxpayers paying for drunken orgies? i dont get it.

i have yet to go to an orgy

because I WASNT FUCKING INVITED!!!!!!!

:mad::1orglaugh

yes, what our taxdollars are going to

My fucking god.

Prison is supposed to be a punishment. Why are they are they playing softball and tennis? It's very simple. You put them a damn cold wet dark cell with a hole in the floor for them to crap in. Feed them nothing but bread and water. No visitors, no tv, no time outside, no fucking nothing already.

ill type slowly..so you can understand
