The West Tennessee Detention Facility (Mason, TN) made a video pitch for California inmates hoping some would volunteer to be outsourced under California's program to relieve overcrowding. The hard-timers should come east, the video urged, because of West Tennessee's "large and clean jail cells, 79 TV channels, including ESPN, views of peaceful cow pastures and...the 'Dorm of the Week,' where inmates stay "up all night watching a movie and eating cheeseburgers or pizza." All that according to a description in Nashville's Tennessean. "You're not a number here," said one inmate. "you come here, it's personalized." California's outsourcing program is facing a lawsuit from the prison guards' union, anxious about job loss. No information is available about how many California prisoners, if any, opted for Tennessee. I was there. It's Christian crazies and too many fanatics.
