Question

Dear WGR,

What is Prison Town?

Sincerely,

Wondering What It Is

Answer

Dear Wondering What It Is,

Prison Town used to be a regular, run-of-the-mill city of not too large proportions.  Then one day, one of the politicians living in the city came up with the brilliant idea of instituting a program whereby the families of the prisoners living in the city’s prison could be moved and housed near the jail.  All this, of course, to snag generous and bountiful federal monie$.  Not long after, the area surrounding the jail facility became far more dangerous to live in than inside the jail itself — after all, at least the jail had trained and armed guards.

So yes, Prison Town is literally that: a city chock full of prison folk, in all its stealing, beating, rampaging, tire-squealing, dealin’, and screaming goodness.

Sincerely,

Warren G.

P.S., one thing that the bonafide Prison Town isn’t is that joke of a town that was featured in a PBS special.  There is only one Prison Town.
