"I went in a staunch conservative and came out a raving liberal,”
http://www.suntimes.com/3430932-417/pedersen-prison-burge-law-chicago.html

When former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge reports to prison to serve his 54-month sentence for perjury and obstruction of justice, he may want to consider the experiences of one of his former homicide detectives.

I've got an idea. Mandatory prison sentences for all police officers after 5 years of service. To be served in an out of state location.

1. "It's about perjury, and obstruction of justice! And the rule of law!"
Anyone having sudden flashbacks to 1998?

2. The other thing I find interesting is the proportion of Chicago Policemen
who have been imprisoned.

I'd like to know if they came out more liberal than they went in.

*EVERY* prison official and probably every prison
guard should start out like that and be sent to a
"refresher" course every five years or so.
