I posted about this lawsuit on Labor Day. I'm surprised it took this judge so long to reach a decision when his fellow hippies were involved. Read on.
"(CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA - A judge has ruled that Philadelphia's jails are so overcrowded and conditions so poor that inmates' constitutional rights are being violated and the jails must again be put under federal monitoring.
U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick issued a scathing 76-page ruling on Thursday in which he ordered the city to immediately provide prisoners with clean cells, toilets, showers, beds and medical attention.
Eleven prisoners filed suit last year with the help of David Rudovsky, a University of Pennsylvania law professor who filed a similar suit 35 years ago." (H/T - KYW.com)
I read that one of those prisoners has been locked up over 22 times from everything like aggravated assault to gun charges. But, for God's sake, we should make sure his constitutional rights aren't violated! The irony of all of this is that the University of Pennsylvania is deep in the heart of Southwest Division, where shootings and homicides are common. I wonder how this toad Rudovsky would feel if this particular inmate shot him or one of his students?
