Hi Siel! Just stumbled upon this post. I actually spent an Americorps year working at White Violet Center. Don’s right — nuns ARE great. I was nervous about the religious aspect at first, but once you watch a nun help to inseminate an alpaca, you don’t quite look at them the same way. I’m quite sure the sisters would welcome you and whatever religious views/lack of religious views you’d come with. They’re tops.

Another flaw is that it favors the strong — What about the downtrodden and drug addicted who can’t cycle so well? :P

My idea’s non-jail related but related to your idea: TVs should only be able to run by power generated via an attached bike. This would effectively solve our obesity problem — and hopefully make people watch less TV, hangout with people more –

I was going to keep this to myself, but... I recently imagined a scheme where convicted criminal are sentenced not to years or months but rather to kilowatts. Prisons could put in a grid of exercise bikes hooked up to generators. There are a couple of flaws in this plan, not the least of which is the difficulty in catching a second time offender that has legs like Lance Armstrong.

Don't let the religiosity scare you off. Nuns are the coolest people on earth. Don Hosek’s last blog post..The Streets of Santa Monica (in Alphabetical Order) Bryn Mawr Avenue and California Avenue
