New Mexico judge rules that inmates in the Bernalillo County Jail (Albuquerque) can use medical marijuana.
Unbelievable.

They'll spend all their money at the commissary on Funyuns?

They all gots the Glock-oma

Wouldn't it be better if all the prisoners were stoned and mellow? Have you been stoned? Marijuana users are less violent and belligerent than they are when not high.

If we wanted to drug them into a stupor with thorazine to make them tractable, the ACLU would go insane.

But they'll smoke weed voluntarily.

Sure, anything we can do to make the corrections process more comfortable and less about reforming.

Why don’t we get them a bunch of hamburgers, some beers, and some women while we’re at it?

Don’t worry that’s coming too.

I can see this in CA.

Let's commit a crime. They will cite us, no jail time, on probation, and they will give us marijuana to improve our health.

I think I might like to be stoned and mellow. I’ve got a lot of stress.

Kinda thinking about that, would this just go right into the prison economy barter system, pot for whatever you got, sex, hard drugs, food, whatever they trade for, used to be cigarettes and homemade booze...

So it would be free weed of course, government supplied, paid for by taxpayers since they haven't got any money or jobs. Maybe an extra joint in the joint for doing your job..

Wonder if all those criminals stealing just commit a major felony offense, plead guilty for more time to get back in, three hots, a cot and a bowl....

This just in.

Inmates rule judges must pass sobriety checks before donning robes, entering chambers.
/sarc off

When my wife was going through her medical internship at Stanford, the CA Dept. of Corrections had a heart transplant done on an inmate on death row.

I thought that was the limit. Apparently, not.

Sorry for the thread drift, I know some of the medical Ph.D. and MD types at Stanford. What is your wife's specialty? But in CA, 99+% of those on death row die of natural causes.

Pure comedy. Jail ain't about reforming. What about a state pen is likely to reform a person?

And jeeze - turn up the gain on the sarcasm detectors.

Nothing about prison is going to reform someone in my eyes. They need to want to change on their own. The programs, education, and everything else is just a dog and pony show and is just another hobby for inmates to pass the time. When they get out, most return to their old life, which in turn leads to criminal activity all over again.

I'm under the belief that anything that just mellows people out in a prison is better for the guards. Whether that be tv, or some narcotic like marijuana. They can call it a right or whatever they want, but if it leads to less violent actions inside the prison and keeps the guards safer then so be it. As long as it's medical marijuana of course (not a bunch of the synthetic crap that has a million unknown reactions with people and either makes them high, retarded, violent, or a mix).

Why do we even HAVE government at any level? Friggin’ judges

Then we should force daily doses of marijuana on the inmates.
