Nice Diggs ehh?

Another Rant By: Bettyjean Kling

 CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THIS FACILITY IS?  Can you get it on the first, second or third picture or  do you have to wait till the fourth, 5^th, 6^th, 7th?

New Cook County Correctional Center, Chicago , Illinois.  Guess if you ever break the law, you’d  better do it in Illinois ! Homeless people should have it so good! Once again the taxpayer gets stung. It also shows that in most cases the quality of life for prisoners has improved considerably from what you might expect. And I always thought prison was for punishment! Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this comparison chart should make things a little bit clearer: I’m not heartless nut but If my daughters’ batter/murderer is living like this while my baby doesn’t  get to enjoy a life at all! I will be damned if our tax money will be spent on housing criminals better than many of us live.

 

@ PRISON You spend most of your time in a 10X10 cell	@ WORK You spend most of your time in a 6X6 cubicle
@ PRISON You get three fully paid for meals a day	@ WORK You get a break for one meal, and you have to pay for it
@ PRISON For good behavior, you get time off	@ WORK For good behavior,you get more work
@ PRISON The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you	@ WORK You must carry a security cardand open all the doors yourself
@ PRISON You can watch TV and play games	@ WORK You could get fired for watching TV and playing games
@ PRISON You get your own toilet	@ WORK You have to share the toilet with People who pee on the seat
@ PRISON They allow your family and friends to visit	@ WORK You aren’t even supposed to speak to your family
@ PRISON All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required on your part	@ WORK You must pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from Your salary to pay for prisoners
@ PRISON You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out	@ WORK You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars
@ PRISON You must deal with sadistic wardens	@ WORK They are called ‘managers ‘
There is something seriously wrong with this- who set it up ACORN?

 

Stop the Tamkeen Law

Dear Puma PAC,

From The Guardian:

“Afghanistan has quietly passed a law permitting Shia men to deny their wives food and sustenance if they refuse to obey their husbands’ sexual demands, despite international outrage over an earlier version of the legislation which President Hamid Karzai had promised to review.

The new final draft of the legislation also grants guardianship of children exclusively to their fathers and grandfathers, and requires women to get permission from their husbands to work.

“It also effectively allows a rapist to avoid prosecution by paying ‘blood money’ to a girl who was injured when he raped her,” the US charity Human Rights Watch said.”

The Women of Camp Ashraf

by Phyllis Chesler

Excerpt:

I am—finally!—taking a long weekend away. And, even if it rains, (let it snow, what do I care?), I will be happily ensconced, reading book after book, surrounded by views of the blue bay, water, water everywhere and more than a drop to drink!

Therefore, I cannot attend an important press conference which is taking place today.

My colleagues, Soona Samsani, and Rabbi Daniel Radamuz, have just alerted me to the fact that The Friends of Camp Ashraf are holding a press conference today, August 14th, at the UN Plaza from 11am to 1pm. They are speaking on behalf of the endangered members of this Camp, which is located on the border between Iran and Iraq.

Samsani is an Iranian Muslim woman who wears hijab and who has organized a Senate Press briefing and a panel at the United Nations in which I’ve participated. I have written about these events elsewhere, here and here.
