Guess the prisoners will have to find something else to KILL time now. No Smoking in Prison! <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width=420 border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=center><TD width="40%"> </TD><TD noWrap align=right width="60%"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites), who set up a tent outside his smoke-free state office to accommodate his taste for a good cigar, signed a bill barring tobacco from state prisons. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="1%" align=left border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD width="99%"></TD><TD width=5> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> The measure, signed Monday, amends the state's penal code to bar tobacco products from prisons and youth correctional facilities. Violators are subject to a fine. Supporters say the changes will help save the state money on health care and improve the health of 160,000 state inmates. Some parts California's criminal justice system such as county jails have already banned smoking. The state generated about $1 million in tobacco taxes and $370,000 in sales taxes by selling tobacco products to inmates last year. Bill sponsor Tim Leslie, a Republican assemblyman, estimates that about half of California prisoners smoke, costing $280 million in related health care costs.
 
So, those that are serving a life sentence will probably spend more years in prison, thanks to the health improving measures of not smoking. That's pretty darn funny!

You're right. So if they cannot smoke, maybe we should give them all guns instead so they don't have to suffer! That way, we are not killing them, we are just working efficiently to cut the cost of supporting rapists and murderers.
