I know two posts in one day, well I found this in the Dallas Morning News this morning and had to share it with my millions who read and respond to my Blog. It is not a fume actually, just something funny.
Sheriff sees red, so now jail's pink
New motif also has teddy bears after escape bid damages facility

Buffalo, Mo. - Prisoners returning to a jail damaged in a failed breakout attempt will find a radical new decor - pink with blue teddy bear accents.
Dallas County Sheriff Mike Rackley said he decided on the color scheme as part of extensive repairs needed after inmates set a fire and vandalized the jail's interior last month.
"Basically, if they are going to act like children and commit a childish act, then we'll make a childish atmosphere," he said. "And it's a calming thing - teddy bears are soothing. So we made it like a day care, and that's kind of like what it is, a day care for adults who can't control their behavior in public."
"How do you feel tough in a pink atmosphere?"
Since the jail violence, most of the SW Missouri county's 30+ prisoners have been in neighboring jails waiting completion of the repairs.
Eight already have been returned to the jail, but they are confined to their cells 23 hours a day because of the construction and are "a little testy" because of the restrictions.
"They haven't said much about the color scheme." Sheriff Rackley said.
He said the paint job was inspired by similar redocorating at jails in Texas and Arizona.
I like the thinking of the sheriff. Like he said if they are to act like a child they will be treated like a child.
