After participating in a 2004 prison riot, Wisconsin inmate Reggie Townsend was moved from his standard cell to the apparently less desirable segregation area of the reformatory. While here, Reggie was forced to spend his nights sleeping on a "wet, moldy, and foul-smelling mattress.” To compensate Mr. Townsend for his troubles, a federal jury recently awarded him the sum of $295,000. Click here for the story.
Over a quarter million dollars for being uncomfortable while in prison! I thought prisons were supposed to be uncomfortable? Looks like ol' Reggie will be well stocked in cigarettes, ingredients for toilet wine, porno mags, and soap on a rope. On second thought, skip the soap on the rope....getting sodomized must be less pleasant than sleeping in moisture. Cha-ching!
