Doing this does nothing but put the prisoner and staff in danger. Isolation would be a better solution. Chemical castration for prisoners in for lengthy sentences would be the best solution.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina prisons officials will continue to punish inmates who perform sex acts by dressing them in pink after a federal judge dismissed an inmate's lawsuit over the issue.

Corrections spokesman Josh Gelinas said Friday the agency will keep using a policy that allows officials to discipline inmates who perform sex acts in front of officers by making them trade their customary tan jumpsuit in for a pink one.

Inmate Sherone Nealous sued in 2006, claiming the Corrections Department "is placing inmates' lives and physical well-being in danger" by making inmates wear the jumpsuits.

On Wednesday, Chief U.S. District Judge David C. Norton dismissed Nealous' claim.

Court records show Nealous was released from prison last month. His attorney declined to talk about the case until he had spoken with his client.

If this is the same guy, I bet he would rather be wearing pink now.

That story goes back to 2001. The lawsuit was filed in 2006. Odd though to have two different people with such an uncommon last and first name.

It's not that I am so worried about the inmates, but anything that increases inmate violence also puts the staff at risk. It also cost the taxpayers a lot more money in medical cost. A calm safe prison is better for everyone.

Those pinks are pretty loud, too. Makes 'em really stand out in the yard.
