WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a sudden departure from his previous views on incarceration, Donald J. Trump said on Monday that he was “very, very concerned” about conditions in the nation’s prisons.
“These are very, very bad places,” Trump told reporters. “These are not places you would want to be.”
Trump criticized the “total lack of amenities” in the country’s federal penitentiaries, calling those prisons “a disgrace.”
“If you are locked up in one of those places, there is no TV in your cell,” he said.
“And good luck getting a Diet Coke. You can yell and yell and no one will go get you one. It’s a very sad, very sick situation.”
In addition to blasting the conditions inside the nation’s prisons, Trump also questioned whether “putting someone in jail for one or two felonies serves any purpose.”
“I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately,” he said. “Prison solves nothing.”

It's hard time to imagine what could have Trump thinking so differently lately.
Don't worry so much
you'll probably still have family and friends close by.

Too funny...who support Trump...the Nixon years all over again...
As the joke at the time went, Nat MPs were saying ja right, you think they're gonna send us to school?
M - I believe his prison sentence will far outlast the fake tan though.
I seeing a bit of backpedaling from the Trumpsters here. Have you noticed?
“Yeah, he’s a bad guy, but...”. “Yeah, he will probably be impeached, but...”
Too funny
