MODERATORS
It should, but it isn’t so the question becomes why does she get special treatment?
Because she's a piece of shit?
I can kind of enjoy a good satisfying shit. Comparing her with that is far too generous.
I mean the bad kind.
Lol
I imagine limits were originally imposed to prevent mis-/excessive use or tool making, but corrupted over the years to just be cruel.
I know prisoners can be extremely resourceful, but I really wanna see what kind tools someone can make with what is probably 1 ply TP.
It can be used to assist in removing water from the bowl of certain toilets. In those facilities, inmates can use the toilet pipe network to communicate.
Large amounts of soaked toilet paper can be used as large spitball projectiles, thrown at guards as a momentary distraction to allow for a follow-up attack or other capitalization on the distraction.
Some use it to cover up lights or windows, sometimes mixing with Vaseline to produce a wick for cooking food, clogging plumbing in the cell to cause a flood, and even arts and crafts purposes.
For all those reasons above, plus making cigarette paraphernalia, the toilet paper itself becomes a jail commodity or even currency.
It is a jailhouse resource, and a valuable one.
A compressed, sharpened tp stake is still a stake.
The MythBusters made rope out of it. I’m not sure it would actually help her do anything though since she has like work release and shit.
Toilet paper that doesnt suck
Many that live deserve no toilet paper. And some that die who deserve much toilet paper. Can you give it to them Frodo?
Then do not be too eager to deal out toilet paper in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
American prison are notoriously bad, so I guess not.
oh oh I can be a legal expert too!
ready?
Epstein didn't kill himself.
We'll duh of course it's a puppy. Everyone knows she likes 'em on the young side.
Lol.
The sitting president of the United States of America is either a child fucker or being blackmailed by child fuckers.
Or both I guess.
One of her messages said that "the staff is polite and responsive."
Well, isn't that nice for her, in prison? Just how we want to see the most notorious and prolific child sex predator on the planet treated.
"staff" vs "guards"
Yeah, I don't like to see international child sex traffickers referring to the prison guards as staff, like it's literally a spa.
After recent "Bubba" developments I don't think it's wise to leave her alone with a dog 😬
Well shit experts, where do I sign up?
Boneless headlines as usual
One of these things is not like the others
US prisons are problematic, they routinely mistreat prisoners, deny or overcharge for phone service, permits slave labor, and so on. So some of this lady's privilege should be rights for all prisoners. That said, she is guilty of sexual assaults, by deliberately putting the innocent into positions into which it would happen. Ghislaine should be death row material.
Most prisoners are in the clink for bad or excessive charges, but this lady fully deserves the chair. She can't be rehabilitated, and offers nothing to society beyond damning testimony.
Having to take care of a pet and find use for unlimited TP sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. We should remove both stipulations.
it's lookism at work
