February of '04 I wrote: "Horrifyingly depressing story of the week: A transgendered inmate, Dee Harmer, whose rape behind bars led to a new liability standard for prison officials is now blind and bedridden and has been sent home to die of AIDS." This week, Deirdre Harmer/Dee Farmer has been charged with faking his own death.

Response to Rodricks:
Is it perhaps true that 80% of criminals are addicts? Yes.
Is it equally true that if the 80% went on and stayed on the program that crime would be nonexistent or even very, very low? No.
Is it true that if most of the 80% went on the program, that they would stay on the program? No.
What is true is that some, a smallish percentage, of the 80% are ready, willing and able to either kick the habit or at least kick it for a considerable period of time. These should be helped as much as public resources can facilitate. I support that for high potential candidates. As for the ones who fall off the wagon monthly, don't waste your breath.
Now that Little Italy is tainted, there is absolutely no reason to venture into Balto. City. Unless of course, you have a death wish.
man, knowing this blog i'm gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but you're a retard, anonymous, and i don't want you to come into my city anyway.
When did Little Italy become tainted, and with what?
Do I have it, and is there a shot for it?
Oh, I don't minimize the deficiencies of the very, very deficient city. I'd just like to know which defect we're talking about?
yeah, I'm with you, non #2. No actual Baltimoreans eat at Little Italy unless they're working in the kitchen.
Dried-up corned beef. Nice image.
Lock-down treatment I can get with. Mostly, District Court sentences offenders to out-patient programs. I'm not too keen on this, because they're using up a perfectly good treatment slot with no intention of quitting, just of placating a judge for X months until they're off supervision.
I have a hard time frowning on Ms Dee Farmer.
TG folks have it real rough.
There's nothing wrong with Little Italy.
You people are forgetting that it survived (and prospered) being directly adjacent to one of the most problematic public housing tracts in the city. Many other neighborhoods would have been crushed by that.
Farmer is an unrepentant hoodlum. Hoodlette. Whatever. He/she needs to go back into the system and this time, stay there without merciful intervention.
I like Amicci's tomato salad.
