Hmmm...now I'm excited.....:-D

Little bit of overkill, there......

.....more....uh...."company".........hahaha.....

Ctrl and + will enlarge, Ctrl and - will shrink, too. At least on my laptop... I usually view all the pics on Opacity enlarged, just to enjoy the extra detail.

Perfect vanishing perspective.

Wow. You could call this "Vertigo".

Jason.....I just about spewed tea out of my nose!...lol.....

Hahahaha....."Company". Love that, Motts :-).

Hmm. I wonder if he has a cousin named Lug Nut?-- :-D

I don't believe the ankh is demonic. I think it has its roots in ancient Egyptian fertility rites. Why does everything have to be demonic and/or Satanic if you don't instantly recognize it as a Christian symbol? *sigh* The world is a big place with lots of history.

Rekrats: I disagree with your last point. Rehabilitation isn't a realistic expectation of a prison system. It's prison, not counseling. People who actually DO the things that get them sent to prison are there to be punished for not behaving themselves in normal society, and causing unecessary misery for others ("behave" as in, don't rob, beat, murder, take advantage of, or assault other people. Period.). If somoene is a selfish, violent, aggressive, dishonest, deceitful person who cannot keep him/herself under control in the "outside world" (and I don't care about the "tough childhood/life"), they can sit in prison and rot, as far as I'm concerned (WITHOUT TV, gym, law libraries, etc..). If you do the kinds of things that get you sent there, you DESERVE to BE there. Don't do things that put you there. Duh. Forget about "rehabilitation". Not realistic.

I'm pretty sure any sense of modesty is among the first things to go upon being sentenced to an institution of this sort. I highly doubt the guys stand around surveying each others' packages, anyway. Probably not enough time, in any case. This doesn't look like the type of place where you can expect to enjoy a long, leisurely shower.

Hey, I be Hubcap and this be my brother, Hood Ornament. Over there's my third cousin, Chrome Doorhandle.

Interesting names. Hitman and Hubcap, how exactly are those two monikers related? Did he kill people and accept payment in terms of vehicle accessories?

NICE :-)

I think the recidivism rate varies based on the crime, the time of incarceration, the area in which the person lives, lots of different factors. I've read that certain white collar crimes don't have a high rate of recidivism, but that sexually-based offenses tend to have very high rates, and then you have the violent crimes like attempted murder... those folks spend so long in prison that they may end up back inside but probably not for the same reasons they were originally in. Just something they did to get back on the inside. I would think that is a number that's highly variable and hard to pin down. It's pretty high, though... our prison system has a lot of problems, and the fact that it does little to rehabilitate offenders is one of its biggest.
