Chronicle Article About San Quintin Segregation Stirs Sweet Sensations

oz_chess.jpg

At the risk of sounding too gay--God forbid--the Gate has an article today about integrating cell mates. Or something critical about race relations. Or about ponies and sunshine. We're can't tell you for sure. The accompanying photos have diverted our attention away from the pesky text. (Seriously, institutionalized racism has never seemed this hot.)

That said, where is our inmate readership? Print publications famously get loads and loads of love letters from the incarcerated? But what about online? Does San Quentin State Prison have access to the internets and a Tandy 1000? Can we get an "I'll cut you, piggy" from any currently jailed readers out there? (Pix or it didn't happen.)

Oh good! It wasn't just me. I felt a little dirty looking at those photos this morning.

 

Someone should call the sexy police. These are on par with "me not meth."

 

It Only Hurts If You Fight It.

 

I watched a documentary this weekend about San Quentin and there's a lot of rough trade bustin' out of the cells. However, the reality is, most of the guys I saw would break a pencil off in you for even looking at them sideways, "preferably a No. 2" as one White Power guy put it.

 

bubba, you my lova

 

i wouldn't last 30 seconds in prison.

 

No wonder our prisons are so overcrowded when we throw folks in for every reason. Prison should be a place of last resort for folks who threaten the populace at large.

 

Dear lord! I didn't know if I was looking at a Chronicle article or a stills from a Raging Stallion flick. HAWT!
