Hopefully it will attract customers and not scum to lure the cons back
to the street. I don't know the mens stats but women felons have a
50% chance of landing back in the slammer within 3 years in this
state. It's not in my neighborhood but I'd like to go there when it
opens. I'll keep track of the news when it does as it seems to be
getting a lot of air time here. I might need a few bottles of courage
first as I'm the wrong color for that area.
