From Red Orbit: Kansas City Paints Over Pink Jail Cells
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The experiment to see if the color pink calms jail inmates has been declared a failure in Kansas City. Scientific research has suggested that the pink jails make inmates less aggressive, and jails across the country have experimented with the idea. Just last week, the Dallas County Detention Center in Buffalo went pink.
But the Kansas City Police Department says it didn't work for them, and inmates will now reside in cells painted in back-to-the-basics institutional gray.
…….
The pink didn't have any discernible effect on the prisoners, who rarely spent more than 24 hours in the detention cell. But it really annoyed the employees.
Frankly, I think being forced to live in a pink room is cruel and inhuman punishment. I'm glad the local P.D. wised up.
