I guess were really straying from the subject, and from the subject of this
newsgroup, so this'll be short ...
This prisoner was apparently a convicted murderer who barely escaped the
electric chair -- so they weren't keeping him at the country club. This guy
was probably being kept in a maximum security cell, and they don't get a
bathroom with doors to walk into down the hall. This guy gets a toilet
and a sink right next to his bed (no doors). Quite a hotel, huh.
Prison can be pretty dehumanizing. But then I just learned all this
from the movies.
