re: Does everybody really get abused in prison (spinoff of OPP thread)?

So do you think that a normal dude with like a college degree and a decent attorney could basically get to pick a better prison or jail as part of the sentencing process? Is that kind of inherently known by the sentencers like "Oh man, this white collar guy can't go to OPP he'd be ruined. Let's send him to Beaumont"?

Victoria Gosserand did. She got a DUI, blew a .30, killed a girl who was a passenger in another car, resisted arrest by throwing a fit and saying "Do you know who my grandpa is?".

Within hours, a judge showed up (on Christmas eve in the early A.M hours) and she was out of jail before her buzz even wore off.

She was eventually sentenced to five years in prison, but the judge suspended two years of the sentence and gave her credit for time that she wore an ankle monitoring device. her accident occured in Pointe Coupee but she served her time in West baton Rouge where she served less than a year and was allowed to be free and in street clothes during the day.

Gosserand walked without handcuffs or shackles outside the West Baton Rouge Parish Prison on many occasions while in custody. An investigation revealed that Gosserand was the only female prison trusty in a prison work program.

The State Department of Corrections said work release is not available to females at the West Baton Rouge Parish Detention Center.

I sure pays to have a rich grandaddy who can help you if you are a remorseless killer drunk.
