Headlines : Civil Liberties8 Targets in Prison Masturbation Cases
This story makes one consider the horrific and degrading conditions those kept in Guantanamo must be routinely subject to, now over a period of many years, while being neither charged nor given legal rights. However, even some of the most basic of human rights can be selectively neutered by the socially insane even in the so-called “mainstream” criminal justice system that often use the cover of authority for its own twisted purposes.

A Florida inmate convicted this week of masturbating while alone in his jail cell is reportedly only one of eight targets—along with state taxpayers—of what a Miami Herald columnist describes as “a spectacular case of selective prosecution.”
Given the likely prevalence of such commonplace behavior in state prisons (not to mention boarding schools, seminaries and military barracks), criminally charging any Broward County inmate with masturbation represents a major waste of prosecution dollars, writes Fred Grimm in the Miami Herald (“Justice went blind in this jailhouse case”).

I have visited the slums of San Paulo, and I have seen the northern lights from the Lapland's, rather than exploring the world between CNN and FOX, as many of my countrymen do. The reference to Alexander has much to do with the quest for knowledge...
bump to show….

“All were charged by the same female deputy” . . . “managed to describe Alexander’s offense in startling detail, eight times, once with Lauriston approximating the action with arm motions”
“Prospective jurors were publicly questioned about their own masturbation habits”
The crime is punishable by an additional 60 days. LOL. Those guys are SO bored.
What the little missy probably didn’t realize is that said offender was probably jacking off to a fantasy of dismembering her. It’s not like he didn’t know she was watching him. They probably had eye contact. Someone’s going to need to get another job if she hasn’t already. They’re gonna be merciless to the power of ten now more than ever. She walked right into that one.
Is it just in Florida where it’s illegal to masturbate — or would that be for the entire United States?
“Is it just in Florida where it’s illegal to masturbate — or would that be for the entire United States?”
I think you will find that masturbating in public is forbidden, by way of indecent exposure laws pretty much everywhere. the craziness here is in claiming that a prison cell is a public place.
quoted: “A significant percentage of guards get off on exercising control over inmates in petty ways. That’s what this is. She isn’t offended by masturbation, she excited by cruelty.”
me – So, in no small way , the prison gaurd was also “masturbating” in that she was “self-exciting” a certain quirky pleasure – getting off on power and control of another human being.
It is only slightly different than people who get excited by abusing pets. I bet there is a strong Christian element to her life. The religious also seem to get off on being the one who has the moral authority to tell others how to behave. It goes full circle when Priests abuse alter boys, another “power-control-pleasure” gig similiar to persecuting masturbaters.If dogs are allowed to lick their genitals on the front lawn, then surely we can allow prisoners to have a yank now and then…
Arrest the dogs!!! Detention kennels and no milkbones for these disgusting mutts.
RE.: the craziness here is in claiming that a prison cell is a public place.
Maybe they’re trying to set a precedent for rolling out a new kind of terrorist — coupled with all the surveillance they want the world to think is admissible. They could basically cherry pick based on throughput requirements to justify spending — which is approximately what they’re doing now. Both at Gitmo and the PIC in general.
Can’t be much further now. . .
If you’re in prison you don’t get counted as unemployed or living below the poverty line, right?

She was watching via Camera – no evidence he even knew she was watching – she is one sick lady
Given that the legal concept being cited by the state is that a prison cell is a “public place”, does that mean I can bring the kids down and feed the inmates? Do they have cheap plastic toys shaped like inmates at the gift shops? And I agree that is one sick and twisted woman, but I also think the whole social model of prison is sick.
yeah, that lady wants some inmate ass bad!! She’s probably some church going, 35+ year virgin, with all sorts of deep seeded sexual frustrations…

Thanks… what did I do wrong?
there was a spacebetween the words ‘veal’and ‘copy’ in your link
replace the space with ‘%20’ and it would work
