Bunny loves little scraps of knowledge (mainly because
that is all she can remember) and thought you might find
this interesting as well.
The whole idea behind conjugal visits in jail started here
in Mississippi at our very own Parchman.
Officially started in 1918, but thought to have actually
started as early at 1900 when then Warden James Parchman
figured out that by providing the African-American prisoners
a lil sumpin sumpin they would work harder picking cotton.
He brought in black prostitutes once a week to "service" the guys.
It wasn't until the 1940's that the white prisoners were able
to get in on the booty train. The reasoning....because it was
thought that the white prisoners could contain their libido
better than the blacks.
Yeah...we have to look no further than Andrew Luster for proof
of that sentiment.
