Are felonies and misdemeanor people share the same prison cell in Maryland

Asked by Sel over 5 years ago

NO idea. Never been there. In most states there are legal problems with housing misdemeanants and felons together.

When you worked in prison was there musaux with the PA system?

Asked by Katie almost 6 years ago

No.

Have prisoners ever taught you anything?

Asked by Dan over 5 years ago

Not that I specifically recall, no. I am sure it happened, but just wasn't very noteworthy.

What do you think of Maxwell and how should they protect her from suicide, being killed, escaping, or whatever could happen?

Asked by Pearl almost 6 years ago

I am not worried about an escape. I doubt she has the skill set or connections to pull that off. Suicide prevention is fairly easy, it's called suicide watch. It is expensive but very effective if employed correctly. (It WASN'T employed correctly in Epstein's case.) I strongly suspect that, after Epstein's death, there is little danger of anything untoward happening to her at least in the short term.

As far as what I think of her, I think she is a disgusting turd.

What do you think of Folsom prison Blues by Johnny Cash?

Asked by Jessie over 5 years ago

I am not a huge fan of C&W but I do like his voice. Kind of like smooth whiskey.

Can married co defendants live together in prison?

Asked by Sammie over 5 years ago

Good question. I don't know. I have been retired for over 15 years and the issue did not come up at that time. State law specifically prohibits sexual relations between prisoners but of course that was written when homosexual conduct was illegal in general. I have no information one way or the other just now. Sorry.

Bob, if you had to do it all over again what occupation would you have chosen?

Asked by Neal Bracken almost 6 years ago

Same one. It was a different time. I might not do it today.
