Several years ago Governors lost their power to add a few days to a man's sentence as a disciplinary punishment. Now, we are graced by a District Judge to dish out that kind of punishment, and he was here today.
This caused a mad rush by the staff to rustle up a jar of coffee. His Honour needs a constant supply whilst faced with a parade of prisoner miscreants. Guess who had the dubious distinctions of making it...?
I did wonder if this attention from the prison staff may soften the Judge's heart in favour of the prosecution, especially when I heard they once baked him a cake!
It warmed my heart to later hear that staff saw him as a "soft" sentencer. Sure enough, he didn't sling anyone in the chokey this time around. Good man! And you never know, I may one day need a Judge who once appreciated my coffee!

Just as long as you didn't serve it to him in that dirty rotten jug of yours
