Post News, 'Girls Gone Wild' producer says guards abused him.

CHICKASHA, Oklahoma (AP) -- The millionaire producer of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series has accused guards of abusing him during his brief stay at an Oklahoma jail, a newspaper reported.

Guards at the Grady County Law Enforcement Center are accused of denying Joe Francis food and blankets and threatening to strap him naked to a chair for 48 hours.

Francis' attorneys made the allegations last month in court papers seeking his release on bail in a Florida case, The Oklahoman reported.

Francis, 34, was held at the jail from May 17 to June 4 while being moved from a Florida jail to a federal facility in Reno, Nevada, where he is awaiting trial next year on a tax evasion charge.

this is true. its a perception by many of our society that incarceration
and in fact detainment of any sort e.g.,a traffic violation, is a form of abuse,
and then too, sometimes a civil rights violation. interesting system, a system with no crime,
only lots of terrible misunderstandings.

Boy this is rife with possibilities! Were these guards fathers? What a shame they wouldn't give the poor guy something to cover himself up with, and if they are going to strap him to a chair naked, first at least get him good and drunk so he'll feel really ashamed and embarrassed when it is captured on film and sold on late night television! I noticed something which I thought was peculiar, they used to show the-'Oooh, call me, trust me I'm a really hot half-naked chick dying to "date" you by phone', followed by the commercials for "Girls Gone Wild' late at night, one right after the other, til school started back up. Now it's only the "date" ones. If he's in trouble for tax evasion, well, he'll end up being somebody's b*tch!

Well how about "Fathers gone Wild"? When fathers who despite their daughters indiscretion want to join the jail correction system of the state - if he is convicted.
