WACO — A man has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for stealing a cell phone.
Glenn Alvin Reed, 31, was convicted of robbery Thursday for stealing a cellular phone from a man's truck last fall and then hitting him several times when he demanded its return.
Jurors, who deliberated about 15 minutes, convicted Reed as a habitual criminal because he has prior felony convictions for injury to an elderly person and robbery. That bumped the minimum sentence from five to 25 years for Reed, who rejected a 15-year plea bargain offer from prosecutors.
Reed also has 15 misdemeanor convictions dating to 1991, including 12 criminal trespassing convictions.
Reed, who testified during his trial against the wishes of his court-appointed attorneys, frequently went into profanity-laced tirades and told jurors he didn't care if they gave him life in prison.
"There's things I choose to do, like, if I go in a store and choose to take a Snicker's bar," Reed testified. "If you catch me, you catch me. If not, I'm going to go home and eat it up and go on about my business, dog."
Four years ago, Reed walked up behind retired Texas Ranger Capt. Bob Prince outside the McLennan County courthouse annex and said he was robbing him. Prince decided not to shoot Reed because he could tell he was unarmed, the former Ranger testified during Reed's cell phone robbery trial.
Prince easily took Reed into custody, and he later was sentenced to two years in prison, according to court records.
Reed made an obscene hand gesture toward Prince as the former Ranger left the witness stand.

I think people with this mentality have never had the pleasure of serving time in one of these summer camps.

Yeah, a summer camp where you get beaten, stabbed, and ass raped.

if you've done the crime that puts you there, you've forfeited pretty much any right to be treated like a normal human being

I didn't take it as sarcasm - I read it as she said it.. it's bullshit how well some prisoners live.
I'm sure it's no walk in the park, but some of those fuckers there deserve a lot worse than 3 balanced meals a day, gym access and other activities at the expense of getting ass raped.
There are people out there who live a whole lot worse without having done anything wrong.. and rapists etc don't deserve to live better than those who are simply unfortunate.

I was just at a prison to get finger printed this weekend. That place was truely uncomfortable and I was being treated like royalty.
Also, every cop working there was at least 80 pounds overweight. It's like the fat farm for cops.

Problem is, not everyone in prison is a rapist or murderer. Lot of them arent even violent criminals. Another problem is the large majority of those in prison, at one time or another, are going to be released... Ever heard the phrase "place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher"? Thats not all that great of a plan.

Ya I know Tuggan, that's why I say some of them, not all.
I think there certainly needs to be a better system in place than there is now.. I think too often all criminals are lumped together into one group, and that just isn't how it should be.
