Arizona? How come I'm not surprised. Personally I'd like to see these people tried for murder - as that is the result of their actions or
in-actions.
It seems more and more Jail Guards, Correction officers and their usually fat ass bosses think it's their job to discipline the detainees & prisoners
by coming up with barbarian methods of punishment such as this.
I spent a day in Jail in 2007 for calling 911 and then refusing to press charges - charged with false reporting that was ultimately dismissed. Yet,
in my one day in jail I requested medical attention after my initial booking and was laughed at, ignored and giving lines like "I'm sure everyone in
there could use an aspirin". While I was having a heart attack they just laughed at me as if I was looking for an excuse to get out of jail. Hours
later when I was beginning to lose enough strength to remain conscious & pick my self up, I enlisted the help of several other detainees which
eventually resulted in a call to paramedics. I then was taken to a hospital by ambulance where they found my main artery 90% blocked. In the half a
day that I lay their in agony my heart began to die because of lack of blood flow.
Not only did I nearly die, but now I'm left with a heart that does not function as well because of the damage caused by the delay in getting timely
medical attention.
Anywhere else I would of had medical attention immediately and I did on another occasion a couple of months ago where I was at a public event where I
asked for assistance and ended up getting a ambulance ride & couple of shocks (defibrillator) at the hospital.
So, now I walk around not knowing when my heart will become erratic enough to cause me an early death (I'm 45) and I pretty much despise and am
disgusted anyone who works in a jail or the corrupt court system in our country.
I hear stories of inmates throwing urine and feces at guards on shows like lockup and all I can do is smile, laugh and wish it had been me throwing it
when I hear some guard complaining about getting piss thrown in his face.
I was recently playing blackjack at a local casino sitting next to a C/O who was telling me that the juveniles are so bad at the facility he works at
that he actually got piss thrown at him. He didn't understand why I was laughing at him.
When you break human beings down to the point that their only recourse is to throw their own urine & feces at you - you probably deserve it.

Well, I must say it's good to hear your words and if you live by them as you say you must be a great human being.
