Your second link is from Westworld, a Denver weekly newspaper. In part the story states:
Quote:
Most of Denver County Jail’s female inmates are housed in large pods in Building 21, which was designed as a traditional men's jail: urinals in the bathrooms, bunk beds. One of the deputies’ lawsuits alleges that the facility “is overcrowded, inadequately staffed and is unreasonably hazardous to deputies and prisoners alike. … Violent prisoners are mixed with non-violent prisoners. The behaviorally defiant are mixed with the behaviorally compliant. These conditions increase the hardships upon the female deputies who must protect both themselves and the prisoners under their charge.”

So moving female prisoners from a facility which "is overcrowded, inadequately staffed and is unreasonably hazardous to deputies and prisoners alike" means that female prisoners will get to live like celebrities??? Well, I suppose that this is what a misogynist repub would say. Gee, women prisoners are being moved to cells which don't have urinals. Next thing you know, female prisoners will be demanding tampons. Will this madness never cease?
Your last link was published in 2010 - almost 20 years ago. Old news which is no longer relevant. However, it does include a picture of a male prisoner living in "inhumane squalor." Looks like an inmate at a regular old jail facility to me. But murderers and rapists should be set free since they just can't wait to get out of jail so they can go get decent jobs and pay child support. You bet.
