Racism rears its ugly head

Arizona does not have a prison just for DUI convicts. No one does. You’re full of sht. What prison would that be?

Nope. He’d be in gen pop. That stupid bastard has no idea what he’s talking about. We don’t have extra prisons to dedicate to drunks. There’s a law requiring jail time for first time DUI. Maybe that’s what he’s referring too. Even then, money and the right lawyers will get you off. Don’t drive drunk here, it will be very expensive.

All I know was what I was told at the prison and what the Kingman newspaper wrote up about it. Over twenty years ago. May have been an experiment that got expanded to other minimum security prisoners.

Which prison is that?

Unless it's changed there was one built about ten miles west of Kingman. I delivered to it while it was being built and after it opened. AZ wanted a facility for DUI convicts that kept them out of other state prisons because they weren't considered hardened criminals.

Lol, that's how it was sold to that community, it was never such a facility. It was sold as a low-level offender "dui-type" facility.

Read the Wikipedia article. About halfway down, history.

Idgaf what Wikipedia reads. I have relatives in the community and a cousin that worked there from the day it opened in 2004. The escape in 2010 is what broke it to the public. People were PISSED

If you read the Wikipedia article it said it was sold as a prison for DUI convicts to the community. I'm only going on what I knew from living there when it opened. I was told that by prison personnel both on the loading dock and in the front office. They were pretty proud of it. And as I said it may have changed for all I know. But as always the sneering peanut gallery has to chime in.

Sneering peanut gallery? Its okay to be wrong, but when you post a Wikipedia page (of all ing things) to say you're right, it looks silly.

It was just another event where big business and government got together to pull one over on the people. Sure, it created a ton of jobs, but being fos to get their way just pisses people off.

How long ago did you leave that area?

How am I supposed to know that? It's what I was told, it was what the community was told, and I moved away in 2005. As I've said already it may have changed, and now apparently it never really was. But I gave the info I had, and the Wikipedia article did back up what I said. For that I get called a stupid bastard but he's still butthurt over misreading a word.
