Highest Jailed Rate Ever

Young Man

Kevin Slota,
Optometrist
"My goodness, that means that two out of every 100 adults are failures as parents."

Old Woman

Quinn Parnow,
Framer
"This points out the need for alternative sentencing, like making convicts serve food to the nation's growing prison population."

Old Man

Buck Jansen,
Systems Analyst
"I'm not sure if they're allowed newspapers, but I'll say it anyway: Hi to Cousin Dan, Uncle Orv, my stepsister Kelsee, and also Jeff, Tom, Billy, Nick, Cody, Kalim, the Serpent, and Lester Lee."
