There's an old joke about the 10-year-old boy who, when asked by his parents what he'd like for his birthday, requests a box of Tampax. Confused, they ask why. "Because then," he replies, "I can go swimming, play tennis, ride horses, whenever I want."

We're reminded of this by an Editor & Publisher report on the Alexandria Detention Center in Virginia. Citing a sheriff's department website, E&P describes Judy Miller's new home.

This "scene," the Web site says, "resembles a dormitory with a lounge attached. At one end of a large room, a handful of young men are watching television; in another area, a second group watches a different set. Several inmates are playing cards. The area is bright, sunny, and clean. The furniture—sofa and chairs—is comfortable and clean. The carpet on the floor is unstained. No one has scratched his or her initials in the paints or on the wood tables. Windows allow a view of the outside.

Two TVs, people to play cards with, lots of natural light, and clean carpet? Hell with our overpriced studio; we totally want to move in there, too.

Just like we want a box of Tampax.
