A New American Idol
Since moving to Colorado, I've picked up reading the local paper (shocker, I know!). I've enjoyed the local happenings and events, but I'm also reminded why I don't like reading the paper.
Apparently, some female inmates from a prison had their own "American Idol" contest, and of course, it's making the news. They are getting attention and popularity.
Is it me or is there something wrong with our criminal system when inmates have a better lifestyle than many hard-working citizens. For crying out loud, they get all their food FREE, a place to sleep without having to pay rent or utilities, workout rooms, libraries and programs such as these. Doesn't seem like hard time to me??
If our jails and prisons are a fun ride, what is the incentive for not committing another crime? I think we really are creating new American Idols.
