A man is nearing the end of his sentence & is in an open prison in wales, coronavirus has broken out there & inmates are being told they have to sign a contract stating that if they contract coronavirus and die the prison is not liable is this legal

I have no idea about the fine details of civil law in the United Kingdom. I do know the law about liability and immunity for the government is much different than it is here.

Is it true that their letting some really bad people out of prison because of the virus? What do you think about this it made me really mad when I saw a child rapist went free because of it.

Asked by ASDF over 5 years ago

Depends who you ask. If you were to ask Governor Newsom the people being let out early are all wonderful human beings who are only in prison for singing too loud in church. If you ask anybody else they would say something different. CA judges offenders for their most recent conviction offense. So a person can be a multiple convicted child molester, a murderer and a rapist and if his most recent conviction was for shoplifting they consider that person to be a low risk, non-violent offender. CA is strange.

Do inmates do nasty things to the food when they work behind the counter serving food?

Asked by Martian over 5 years ago

Not usually. Inmates have to eat the food. Somebody would snitch. Somebody would get thumped.

What do you think the situation was with that cop killing the black man?

Asked by Caleb about 5 years ago

It is really hard to say. There are about 800,000 cops in this country. A few of them will be dumptrucks. You might remember Officer Mohammed Noor was also from Minneapolis and is currently doing time for the same charge they have nailed this White guy with. He was carried by the system because their moron mayor desperately wanted a Somali Islmaic cop on the force, even though he should have been dumped during training. I understand the current guy has a substantial number of complaints against him that were MAYBE-PROBABLY not handled correctly. My GUESS is that the dead guy said or did something that tweaked the cop and he decided he was going to show his prisoner what for. Completely unjustified morally, ethically and legally. The cop KNEW or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN that what he was doing was very dangerous to his prisoner, who was clearly not resisting. I am not familiar with Minnesota law that much but it is distinctly possible that the other three cops who were there and who did not intervene will face some criminal charges as well. I do think that burning down an Auto Zone or a Target because you are pissed at the cops is kind of stupid and not even remotely helpful.

Have you ever had bodily fluids on you?

Asked by Tina over 5 years ago

If you go to the right parties it happens all the time...Oh, you mean at work. That particular form of battery is colloquially referred to as "gassing" in the California system. I have to missed that fun experience during my employment. It is gross and disgusting and has many possible health risks attached to it. .
