UGH . even when i lived near there i would rarely go because i hate all their stupid rules. they act like they hate having customers.

i'd rather eat a flatizza

i've been to iggie's. it was ok. lol at them being butthurt about customers not busing their own tables well enough.

thats why i stick with outback steakhouse. no rules, just right.

are you allowed to throw your food if you don't like it?

i'd rather eat a flatizza

― flatizza (harbl),

co-worker's review after trying a flatizza: "pretty good"

i have a client who appealed a 90 day sentence from district court for POINT ONE GRAMS. new law doesn't really start until 10/1 but maybe it'll help. such bullshit.

btw does anyone have an illegal link to the nyer article about the jail

Baltimore is a cool ass city =-)

oh my god that nyer article was o_O and I thought of harbl the entire time

Do you have a Kindle? I think maybe there is a way to share the issue? Not sure but happy to try.

i do! what do you need, my email? or does my kindle have an address? i feel like such a mom right now asking these questions

Oh man I am in the same boat but will go try to figure it out RIGHT NOW

OK let's do this. My ilxwebmail goes to some long-dead account, so I'm gonna send you a webmail from my real e-mail address, then you reply, then I'll use that addy for the loan, cool?

You can loan eligible Kindle books to a friend from the Manage Your Kindle page.

Eh fuck it falls into the "lending is unavailable for the title" category. Sorry :(

it's ok my webmail is an old address too. we would have been stuck in limbo.

is transmodern fest happening this year? did i miss it? i can't find anything :(

harbl have you seen the NY article on BCDC yet? It is U&K that I discuss with you. We can do it in person, even. Preferably not at the BCDC.

yes. i felt a little bit let down by it because i had already read all the stories about it and indictments so it didn't add anything new for me. i wish they had gotten someone local to write it. i have been in the bcdc & central booking a lot. i was even visiting the day the big news came out!

iirc i was not really successful at visiting that day because of their arbitrary metal detector policies and underwire undergarment fail

yeah I'm guessing there was stuff in the WaPo about the indictments, but I was away and missed all of that. Trying to get my head around "[female] CO had [consensual BUT NOT RILLY] sex with [male] inmate, has baby, rolling on working as CO" thing. It's such a reversal of what I think of as "non-consensual" sex--like, the CO + inmate thing, with female (who under other situations would be considered totally consenting) having sex with man (who under under other situations would be considered totally consenting) is not in situation with female CO sexually assaulting male inmate why because that's how this stuff is legally defined? And the pregnancies, etc. . .

um that could have used an edit, but hopefully you get my meaning. I mean the sitch would be different WOULD IT NOT were it male COs with female inmates, oh I think so.

haha i am having difficulty understanding the question

Yeah that made no sense, sorry. Question is: "Do we treat Male CO having sex with Female Inmate differently than we do Female CO having sex with Male Inmate Y/N"?

I think Y, when both say it was consensual, which legally (iirc) is not even possible because there cannot be (legal) "consent" in a CO/inmate sitch.

my response to this question feels complicated

so it would be completely different if it was male COs and female inmates (i am 100% sure that that is something that happens in the women's jail as well, by consenting and non-consenting parties), but it cannot be compared to this situation by substitution. there are too many factors. it is a crime in maryland for a CO to have sex with an inmate. i don't think it's true that inmates--male or female--cannot ever consent. i think that was certainly a concern in making it illegal, but the bigger problem for people who make laws is that it's a crime against the administration of the jail, because you would get into this cycle of behavior where the COs have no power over the inmates. COs are supposed to have power over inmates, so in the ideal jail, sex between them would not be consensual. if COs are not successful in showing authority over inmates (as happened here), they might have consensual sex. if COs and inmates are having consensual sex, it's like they aren't even COs anymore. i don't feel capable of thinking about this in black and white, i guess.

Yeah I think you have put--very astutely and with a lot more first-hand knowledge than I have--the complication! I mean it comes down to way bigger institutional realities, which is: what do you expect from your corrections professionals and is that reasonable given who you hire and what you pay those folks and the context in which you hire the (i.e. ppl who know each other from growing up in the same [challenging] neighborhood).

And also the law, which is like a whole other animal with whole other issues
