JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS

Today the LA Times had a loooooooong, and I mean looooooooooong article on the prison that, if convicted of any of the ten charges, will house Michael Jackson:
For Celebrity Convicts, a Safe Space Behind Bars

Isn't this a bit like buying the coffin before the x-rays come back?

Whatever.

I have to admit that I read the whole thing as it is fascinating.

This is the special section reserved for the famous, most likely targets for harassment or worse by other inmates.

I was amazed to see that Charley Manson, a prospective neighbor, will be in his 70's. Also Juan Corona who killed at least 25 migrant workers. Sirhan-Sirhan is the first to be placed in the unit.

He is not safe. While the unit is peaceful, only one door separates them from the nut-cases, the worst, next door. Once, they got through.

But, why are we reading this? Because it is interesting. We would not have known about it without the Jackson case. A collateral insight into the justice system.
