In any event, I would think PS does not need outsiders' money.<br /><br />They should put a cap on these prisoners' accounts and put the excess into some non-profit or other worthwhile endeavor for the inmates. Just my thought.<br /><br />I have visited a couple of people in state prisons over a 3-decade period (not in the medical ward), their big thing was coins that their visitors bring in to splurge on the vending machines in the visitors areas. Instead of small-talk over a couple of cocktails, its over a shared bag of Cheese Doodles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-35441451777598514532009-04-26T13:06:00.000-07:002009-04-26T13:06:00.000-07:00I got the imformation about how much Phil can spen...I got the imformation about how much Phil can spend on his own needs from Radar Online under Phil Spector Wigs Out. I think extras in prison may be very high like things they charge huge amounts for at the hospital. Not local store costs. Scott Pererson is allowed $180 for his wants at the prison he is in. His account is huge as woman send him money all the time wanting to be friends with him. I'm doubting Phil will have many woman putting funds in his account.

I am wondering why the state or Ronnie Spector didn't get the boys out of there? I don't know how they can call him their father. I read where he kept gormet food in his refrigerator and had another one for the boys with the cheapest food he could find. He should be serving life for child abuse if nothing else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-758215402720527212009-04-24T17:42:00.000-07:002009-04-24T17:42:00.000-07:00I read where Phil has breakfast at 5:00 A.M.

Not in CA but I did ask some questions about the medical ward which may be of interest: the staff (which may be in-house or contracted out to a for-profit organization)makes the determination as to who is medically stable and ready to go into general population (reg or Substance Abuse pod)UNLESS there is the fear that the prisoner may be in danger while in general. I would bet that your Sheriff Baca does not want to take that chance and will keep Spector in seg until he is shipped off and thus becomes somebody else's problem. He still has to awaken at 4:30 or thereabouts for breakfast, lol. (Where I toured, they are allowed to go back to sleep til classes (substance abuse) start about 8:30AM, going all day). All the prisoner has to do is deny that there is a substance abuse problem, in which case he/she is in general population. Where I went, there is a waiting list to get into that program.<br /><br />Hope you have a good weekend.

Just my opinion.<br /><br />Back to the Spector stuff, thanks to all who have contributed sites and links, I have found a lot of interesting reading.<br /><br />Sprocket, I hope you are making up for the sleep deficit you must have built up staying up so late and then rolling out of bed at the crack of dawn daily for so long.

I'm attending a trial where a former paralegal is suing a huge law firm here in LA for lesbian sexual harassment!<br /><br />The case is Benson v. Proksauer Rose, in department 48 on the fifth floor. The court is located at 111 North Hill Street.<br /><br />Like Sprocket in the first trial, I was addressed by the judge after an attorney representing a party complained that I was talking to jurors in the hallway - WHICH I AM LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO.<br /><br />I explained to the judge that we were merely discussing occupational endeavors, and this judge then allowed me to remain in the courtroom. I also told the judge that Defense attorneys representing Proskauer Rose had confronted me in the morning asking me very personal questions. The judge gave the attorney for Defense a dirty look, but did nothing else. <br /><br />Hope to see some folks there!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-83449010394643791472009-04-23T17:00:00.000-07:002009-04-23T17:00:00.000-07:00Sprocket, thanks so much for indulging us with thi...Sprocket, thanks so much for indulging us with this daily fix of info, regardless of how minor it may be(being a slow period between trials, lol).<br /><br />It's a serious matter but we do like to laugh:some of your more jocular posters should compile their ad-libs and take it on the road....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-48890066599718958432009-04-23T14:13:00.000-07:002009-04-23T14:13:00.000-07:00Do any of you know why there is such a long delay ...Do any of you know why there is such a long delay between the guilty verdict and the sentencing?
