McNeil Island Penitentiary’s New Espresso Machine

Posted by Eric at 8:01 am. Filed under: General

Ken Schram is steamed over the cush treatment of prisoners, with the installation of a new espresso machine 2 in the McNeil Island penitentiary.

Here’s the deal: Washington State is planning to open a latte stand 2 inside the McNeil Island penitentiary.

You heard me right: A “give me a double tall mocha with extra foam” latte stand for the inmates.

No, the real issue here is the image of a warm and fuzzy prison system where rapists and murderers get to sip lattes and munch on scones.

And I’ll tell you: It’s an image that genuinely ticks me off.

But, like I said: Maybe you think I’m just over-reacting.

Or maybe you agree.

If you do, let the good folks at the Department of Corrections in on how you feel.

Here’s the email address: doccorrespondence@doc1.wa.gov

Ryan adds:

Pretty soon it will be better for some people to live in prison for free than to pay for a house and food. So much for decreasing the crime rate.
