I guess were really straying from the subject, and from the subject of this
newsgroup, so this'll be short ...

  This prisoner was apparently a convicted murderer who barely escaped the
  electric chair -- so they weren't keeping him at the country club.  This guy
  was probably being kept in a maximum security cell, and they don't get a
  bathroom with doors to walk into down the hall.  This guy gets a toilet
  and a sink right next to his bed (no doors).  Quite a hotel, huh.
  Prison can be pretty dehumanizing.  But then I just learned all this
  from the movies.
