For over six years I have lived in the great state of Texas. Recently there have a been a few stories that involved prisons that I didn’t fully understand why they couldn’t find easy solutions.
The first one was that inmates are somehow getting cell phones in prison. These devices are being smuggled in and in a few cases have been used to commit crimes on the outside including homicides. Clearly I am NOT a detective or a martial arts expert. I would imagine that a cell phone somehow some way can be used as a weapon against the guards or fellow inmates. Also they could make calls (until the battery runs out) and plan a breakout or another crime.
Solution – Don’t they have metal detectors that would easily detect them? Also even if they get past the metal detector isn’t there some type of jamming device that would not allow these prisoners to use the cell phones. I understand that the guards wouldn’t be able to use their cell phone but maybe that would help with issue number two.
The second issue I have been seeing on TV and reading about is all of the prison breaks that have happened in Texas. Most of these prisoners are in prison for life and have little to no chance of getting out unless they escape which is what lots of them are doing and in one case they got out and murdered a couple a few days after breaking out.
Solution – why don’t all prisoners everywhere who are in for life get some type of tracking device put on them or inserted in them. Ok the inserted wouldn’t work because there would be a ton of backlash but why not a light ankle bracelet?
Just my two cents.
I realize that this might be a controversial subject and people might not be comfortable providing a comment but I hope some will.
- What do you think?
- What do you think of my solutions?
- Any other ideas for the great state of Texas?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Time To Go Shopping In A Wal-Mart In China. What Are You Buying?
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010In the last 4 years I have gotten a tremendous amount of emails and topics for blogs. I must admit I really enjoyed looking at what is being sold at a Wal-Mart in China. I must admit I am fascinated with different cultures.
So get ready, sit back and look at 9 different items that are being sold at a Wal-Mart in China:
Crocodiles
Bulk Rice
Mixed Meat for the Choosing
Orange Juice and Cooking Oil
Wal-Mart Brand Spirits
Rib Cages
Beautiful Boxes of Liquor
A Large Selection of Chopsticks
Diet Water
I hope you found that very interesting. I did for sure! A number of things. I was surprised that they sell orange juice and cooking oil together? In fact it looks like they sell them as a package. The different style of chopsticks was very cool as was the beautiful boxes that Liquor comes in. Ok I also will be the first to admit the crocodiles scared me a little bit.
I look forward to reading your comments
