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).

My friend's studio is right across the street from the collapse (you can see the building in the pic amon posted) and I've parked on that side of the street a million times. Last time, 2 weeks ago, the street had slid down so much that my car was at like a 45 degree angle.

He also said urban casinos could "prey" on a city's poor, who can least afford risking their money. Rawlings-Blake bristles at the notion.

"I think there's a tendency for people to think we have to substitute our judgment for that of poor residents," she said. "They are aware of their financial obligations and what they can afford."

The mayor said she is satisfied that sufficient measures are in place to help problem gamblers, and that the city has sufficient "high-quality hotels, many a short distance away from the casino" to attract high rollers.

Last year, 858 Maryland residents died due to alcohol or drug intoxication; that's enough to replace the entire University of Maryland football team more than eight times.

A fight broke out inside Baltimore's Horseshoe Casino on the first weekend after its grand opening.

A video of the incident shows security guards wearing yellow shirts rushing to break up the fight, which occurred in the line for Pie-Zetta, a pizza restaurant, around 3 a.m. Saturday.

"Basically, somebody said something ... to one person and they took it the wrong way," said Kevin Forrest, who witnessed the fight. He said a woman sprayed mace before about 20 security guards stopped the fight and escorted people out of the casino. Forrest, who goes by the nickname "Hollywood," took the video and posted it to Facebook, where it was shared more than 400 times by Sunday afternoon.
