I came across the Omni View Incarceration design link when I was reading a web article about Survivor Richard Hatch's sentencing being delayed.

The designs look a bit like something out of Fortress.

"Certain prisons and jails, with structural blind spots, have become supercharged Petri dishes for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), prison rape & suicide."

SUPERCHARGED PETRI DISHES?

Well, I guess they need some sort of attention-catching selling point to help secure public funding.

But when you pick up one end of a stick, you also pick up the other... will the aggression boil over in other ways? Or will they do it on camera anyway?

Hey, maybe this is all an elaborate plot to get titillating footage and make a fortune selling it to perverts?
