I scrolled down a little. Generally sad; once, along a time ago, most offences would have been worked out away from the Break or not seen as an offence at all. The tiny insignificance of tiny actions with possibly brutal endings. Now broadcast around the world. I need to 'get a life'.
Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came ?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
Evidently, some jurisdiction has the offense, "knowingly driving..." The addition of a culpable mental state is interesting inasmuch as I cannot imagine driving a motor vehicle while being unaware that I am, in fact, operating a motor vehicle. Query, whether impaired mental states, i.e. alcohol or drug intoxication become a defense to the "knowing" element of the offense? Strange.
In other matters, we now know where they do the casting calls for all those lesbian prison movies.
At the risk of being a bleeding heart, are these young ladies suspects or convicts? presumption of innocence seems rather fragile in the land of the perpetrator walk…
Some years back, my profession took me to our state's maximum security women's prison. It was, shall we say, an interesting experience. The inmates were all Class A and B offenders, but the atmosphere was remarkably laid back. I walked around without an escort among the buildings and marveled at how seemingly well-behaved the denizens were. This, despite the fact that the young "lady" I was there to depose had murdered her mother by stabbing her 72 times. Sometimes, life is truly weird.

While there are rare exceptions - women's prisons do have their occasional habitually violent psychopaths - they are exceedingly rare. Most murders committed by women are crimes of passion, habitual violent reoffenders are not something women's prisons generally design for.
... habitual violent reoffenders are not something women's prisons generally design for.
There's a "reality show" on cable tv here in the USofA called "60 Days In", where they have non-offenders trying to survive in a county jail for, well, 60 days. The camera crews are ostensibly "filming a documentary film on life in lock-up", so as not to blow the non-offenders' cover. There seems to be far more violent brawls in the womens' jail.
The fights in a mens' jail may be more often lethal, but still.
I believe it means a person’s boyfriend or girlfriend; crush, love, squeeze, etc. Commonly used by proletarian teenagers, for whom the second syllable of baby is just too exhausting.
Not to be confused with bæ, which is apparently a Danish word for excrement.
It may simply be that these get better ratings for the show.
Very much the case.
In my state, the largest female prison (with the "hardest" population) reports 3.34 inmate on inmate assaults per thousand inmates, which is .14 above average statewide. The rest of the female prisons are considerably lower; with the least violent of them reporting 0 assaults for the past 3 months. The only male prison that can boast anything even close to that is a low custody, program heavy facility in which bad behavior will result in a transfer to a harder facility.
I draw the line at first degree murder.
