The Bureau of Prisons welcomes you"},"content":{"rendered":"

I can’t get over this business of Trump’s “associates” going off to prison. Yesterday, Peter Navarro checked in to the Federal Correctional Institute in Miami.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a low-security prison, with a camp addition (really low security but presumably no tents). I mention the camp because Navarro’s lawyer said he’d try to get his client into it.<\/p>\n

I took a look at the orientation guidebook (my specialty), and right away I saw a section called Cultural Diversity. Uh-oh, said I, and read this short paragraph:<\/p>\n

The correctional environment is a multi-cultural environment that may cause some to experience discomfort. Your attitude about diversity, along with respect for others, is important if you want to live harmoniously in this setting.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you think Peter Navarro will experience discomfort among the culturally diverse population of his prison? It’s something to think about as I continue to help orient him to the prison system.<\/p>\n

As to the food services, there are a couple of unusual descriptions for cuisine choices I don’t recognize — and I live in a city with restaurants presenting every single international cuisine in the entire universe. But what about these exotics, which I’ve bolded:<\/p>\n

The Food Service Department provides meals which are nutritionally adequate, properly prepared, and attractively served. All meals are served cafeteria style which includes features such as heat healthy<\/strong> options and flesh alterative<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then, while Navarro is eating his flesh alteratives, he is not allowed to whistle or be boisterous. Now, I haven’t paid a lot of attention to Navarro but the few times I’ve seen videos of him on the news, he’s been yelling. So…<\/p>\n

Under “Grooming,” I see this, the reason for which I don’t understand:<\/p>\n

All FCI inmates will wear a black belt with the exception of the inmates in the ICAN program, and Spanish RDAP who have color designated belts.<\/em><\/p>\n

High on the list of discipline problems which will incur serious penalties is “Encouraging others to riot.” Seems pertinent.<\/p>\n

And the commissary sells croissants for $1.60.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the low-lying prison buildings are topped with red roofs. Note: I’d put a picture of the facility in here but a wicked hand has deleted it. (No, the wicked hand is not mine. Make of this what you will. I’m making nothing of it.)<\/p>\n

Could this be a Florida motel?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
