Here They Go Again! Watch BOP Make Up Infractions On the Fly

JB: I bet.

JW: I haven't seen Gary in two weeks.  I wasn't able to make the trip last weekend.  I went and parked in a public parking lot and tried to call the various offices in the prison bureaucracy - the regional office and the Washington office, but, of course, with it being Saturday, my calls were not answered.

JB: Now what? Where are you and what are your plans?

JW: Tomorrow - Sunday - is also a "visitation" day.  I was left with the choice of returning home in extreme distress without seeing Gary and leaving him in extreme distress, or getting a room - very expensive - and staying overnight, with nothing - no clothes or anything.  So I went to Walmart, bought essentials, and got a room where I am staying tonight before returning to the scene of so many "crimes" and so much abuse, all of it by prison employees.

As if all that was not disgusting enough, there was icing on this very rotten cake.  I was in the lobby of the hotel when a prison employee arrived in uniform, just after shift change.  This prison employee, who apparently works at the prison, went to the desk to get a room and ASKED FOR A "FEDERAL DISCOUNT"!

JB: What's so terrible about that, Judy? Aren't federal employees entitled to stay at hotels when necessary?

JW: My understanding is that while traveling on official business , federal employees with official travel vouchers are eligible for the federal government discount offered at various places, but that it is an ethics violation to ask for or receive "anything of value" in connection with one's federal employment, particularly when they are not traveling on official business.  The desk attendant at the hotel told the uniformed prison employee that the hotel doesn't offer discounts on weekends, then the prison employee argued that when staying at the hotel previously, she had asked for and received the "federal discount."  

JB: How do you know she wasn't on official business?
