Prison Guards Go Wild on Francis?

"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis says in court documents Oklahoma prison guards threatened to strap him naked to a chair for 48 hours and denied him food and blankets. Sounds like "Girls Gone Wild: Prison Edition."

Francis was in the Grady County Law Enforcement Center for three weeks in May and June while being moved from a Florida jail to a federal facility in Reno, Nev. where he'll face tax evasion charges next year.

Oklahoma prison officials deny claims of abuse, telling the Oklahoman newspaper Francis was "treated like every inmate that comes through the Grady County Law Enforcement Center."

1. The video's only $5.99.

$6.99 cd.

[fudge stripe cookays]

2. Yeah, me too.

:eyes:

What a pig. Can't say I'm feeling much sympathy, dude.

[idgiehkt]

3. I'm starting to wonder if he's a sociopath or a manic or something

this is unexplainable, him trying to get the prosecutor in trouble for video that he himself took. Weird. He just sounds mentally ill. I read on another of the links he's been in jail
http://www.tmz.com/2007/11/13/francis-to-prosecutor-no-youre-the-pornographer

for six months without being charged...isn't that unconstitutional?

[KitchenWitch]

10. I believe there is a contempt of court thing in there - thus the long jailtime with no apparent

conviction.

That said, any sympathy I have for him can only be imagined because it simply does not exist.

[idgiehkt]

18. good

between seeing that photo of him trying to pull that girl's shirt up that was resisting him and the journalist that described his assault of her I think that he belongs behind bars. It's so ironic to me that tax evasion is what got him put away...the other stuff seems more tolerable to the judicial system but don't mess with they money, lol.

[Orrex]

4. Why just 48 hours?

I mean, how long is his sentence?

[mitchum]

5. But they were gonna give him a t shirt afterwards

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. my heart bleeds. wait no, it doesnt.

[Bunny]

7. Hey Joe:

:nopity:

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Some people have to pay good money for that sort of thing.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

9. Yep. In this economy it's tough to decide between...

1). Food

2). A warm home

3). Gas in the tank of the automobile

4). Getting strapped naked to a chair for 48 hours.

If I could only learn to tie myself to the chair while naked, I could save myself a little money every month.

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

11. The insulting part was that the officers didn't even

offer to get him drunk first.

[Robeson]

12. I personally don't like the guy. But would prison guards act like goons...

...in America? Hell no, we don't do that type of thing here.... :sarcasm:

As if I needed to add it....

[DS1]

13. That's nothing, most of his customers haven't left the basement in 6 weeks!

[Danger Mouse]

14. The guy is sleaze. Sleazy sleazy sleaze.

I don't think he should be abused by prison guards or anything, but I'm just saying...

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Yeah, that would be tragic

[Danger Mouse]

17. Ha! I certainly wouldn't shed any tears for the guy...

is there a sketchy or skeevy thing that he HASN'T done yet?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

15. Gonna post this link again.

Just in case there's somebody out there that thinks this guy's not scum

Vegas odds say he's full of shit about this incident at the prison.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. True, he's the ultimate scumbag (and publicity hound)...

I had the misfortune of reading some excerpts from an interview he did with Howard Stern. Same kind of garbage as in the L.A.T. article.

My personal feeling is that Francis is "speaking out" because the publicity he was getting a few months ago has completely evaporated. Like all junkies, he's desperately in need of another fix.

[skygazer]

19. Fantasizing again, Joe?

:eyes:

[quip]

20. You got a pretty mouth...

:puke:

[Downtown Hound]

21. If true, no one deserves to be mistreated by police,

even if they are a leech. But, my slight hunch, or overwhelming sense of the psychic, or my renowned bullshit detection abilities, tells me that it's not.

My psychic bookies give me these odds:

1000 to 1 he's telling the truth. 1.5 to 1 he's full of shit.

[baldguy]

23. If only that WERE the punishment for being an exploitive sleaze.

Maybe one of the guards knew one of the "Girls Gone Wild".

[leftofthedial]

24. it's no worse than a little college frat hazing
