Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, October 31, 2009

Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik is displaying worrisome, risky behavior in jail, a federal judge said Friday after speaking with the jail's psychiatric director.

The former Homeland Security nominee's specific actions and symptoms were not revealed, and lawyers and jail officials wouldn't comment on specifics, including whether Kerik was on a suicide watch.

Judge Stephen Robinson said at a pretrial session Friday in U.S. District Court that he received a memo from Dr. Robert Mahler, medical psychiatric director of the Westchester County jail in Valhalla, then spoke with the doctor by phone. The doctor reportedly said Kerik, 54, was "at risk."

Former Police officers have terrible times in the Joint. Either they are wimps or obviously these are the same folks that used to put people behind bars themselves so they are scum when they enter into the penal institution. Take Your pick.

Regardless, LAR, I'm sure you would want the same protections for them in prison as any other convict would get.

Sounds like maybe this guy's on a suicide watch and it's perhaps not an issue of mistreatment by other prisoners.

OohRah the Larry Mohr that is typing to You now WOULD and DOES want Him to get a PC Unit. Now if Larry Mohr was an inmate in the institution that they place Kerik in not so much. They are scum and deserve no protections. Now do You understand OohRah?? I am thinking with 2 hearts on this.

Larry

He needs to be in Gen Pop. He was a tough guy with the badge lets see how tough he is when a shank is staring him in the face.

I understand, LAR. We're all human and subject to emotions.

Just to be contrary for a moment, though... doesn't your #3 post smack of situational ethics? Why should the prison protections for someone else be any different depending on where YOU reside?

Never been locked up for any stretch of time OohRah?? That is a GOOD THING btw. Why the situational ethics is because in Prison it's a whole nother world. Whole nother set of values.

Larry

Never so much as a speeding ticket. Not that I ever broken any laws, by any stretch...

So is situational ethics something you think is not only a human condition but one which should be practiced?

(I have broken laws. #7 typo, sorry)

Usually not OohRah but people weren't meant to be locked up for any length of time so situational ethics happens. It isn't right but Prison isn't a nice place.

Huh? "people weren't meant to be locked up for any length of time..."

What do you mean?

Man wasn't made to be locked up. We were to be freebirds. Man is the one who designed prisons for men.

Agreed, in times past people would have been killed for the smallest infraction of honor. We have become more civilized wouldnt you say, or are you a death penalty advocate?

100% Anti Death Penalty Andrea. We have become more civilized?? That is debatable when we lock up people for pleauring their bodies(Drug use) how can we claim to be more civilized??

What, is The Top Cop being traded for 305's already?

Just another part of Duuuuhbya's pathetic legacy.

Oohrah thanks. I actually watched the Resume vid for the first time. Learned a few new things off of it.

Regardless, LAR, I'm sure you would want the same protections for them in prison as any other convict would get.

There are no protections in prison and to snitch is a death sentence and not by the state.

Unless you go in protective custody.
