I work at the local county jail. Upon performing random cell searches I found an inmate to be in possession of the entire Twilight series of books. I was just about to laugh when the entire cell block of “hardened criminals” defended it calling it the most romantic books they’ve ever read. I hate Twilight but IMMD

Does this say something about the Twilight series or about prison inmates?
My dad’s been in prison my whole life, he’s a wonderful man but about the poorest excuse for a “hardened” criminal I’ve ever met. He’s a giant poofball sometimes.
ok andy arresting a bunch of teen girls for underage drinking isn’t considered hardened.
Sure they can relate: GTA, breaking and entering, stalking, arson…and a submissive peace of jailmeat. What not to like?
Well, if they’re dumb enough to land in prison…
Exactly what I thought.
They should so use that endorsement for any future advertising for Twilight. “Hardened criminals think it’s romantic.” XD
Personally, I find those books to be cruel and unusual punishment. No plot at all…
Weer they in prison for stalking?
WIN.
EPIC WIN.
EPIC WIN WITH DINOSAUR-SHAPED MARSHMALLOWS
EPIC WIN WITH DINOSAUR-SHAPED MARSHMALLOWS minus SPELLING FAIL = STILL AN EPIC WIN
Gee, a bunch of criminals found the abusive stalker and his prey to be romantic? How very odd…
Too ironic for me! Pedophilia, abuse and obsession… Wow, so romantic! DX
Don’t forget necrophilia.
and beastiality.
If you wanna be dumb, you gotta be though.
I believe you meant “thorough.”
tough would be my guess…
“If you wanna be dumb, you gotta be tough.”
You don’t have to be thoroughly stupid, you just have to be tough enough to take handle it all.
I believe those books are illegal according to the Geneva Conventions.
Only illegal to be used forcibly. And even if they were wholly illegal, county inmates aren’t protected under the Geneva–that’s the 8th amendment
I believe this says a tremendous lot about the quality of the books.
Ya know, if any of them are in their for stalking or pedophilia, they can always get tips…
Somehow, an entire cell block of hardened criminals thinking the Twilight series are the most romantic books they’ve ever read doesn’t really surprise me.
Yeah, because books about an undead abusive stalker and his dishrag girlfriend are really romantic.
^^^ all of this wins, it’s probably romantic for them cuz they never read beforehand.
Yet another reason not to trust in the judgment of criminals.
They have no real basis for comparison when it comes to romance novels then if thats all they get to read. Sorry justice system, your torture methods have backfired, instead of boring them to death, a whole block of criminals now defends the series. Oh, fyi, in the future, probably not a good idea to make fun of the books in front of a hardened criminal, they tend to get defensive.
I now have the mental image of a fight between inmates. One of them is wearing a “Team Edward” shirt and the other is yelling “She belongs with Jacob!”
Best comment EVER
Are we talking a West Side Story rumble complete with chains and zip guns and dance moves?
Yes we are
EPIC WIN
Thanks for that brilliant and hilarious mental image. IMMD
Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series…voted #1 most romantic book series by convicted criminals nation wide.
This makes it undeniable that the “Twilight” series is for the mentally impaired…
If not mentally impaired, at least mentally unstable with not enough social connections to keep them from breaking the law…lfmao.
that’s a good place to hide stuff! Who, in his right mind, would open a Twilight book?
So you think they’re going to find the book after he’s vanished into thin air, open it and find a rock hammer shaped hole through all the pages? :^D
Indeed, and they’ll angrily hurl the book at the Jacob poster on the wall, and be shocked to find a long, narrow tunnel hidden behind said poster. And he’ll be in Mexico building boats on the beach.
This set of comments MMD!
YES!
My sister likes Twilight…she’s no Twihard, but she likes the series…Eff you all…
I’d say that’s a little unnecessary. A lot of the negativity to Twilight is because of the ridiculous fans, but to each their own. I have read the books, and enjoyed them- but there is a difference between enjoying a book, and declaring it a piece of art. Your sister is allowed to like them, and the people above are allowed to hate them (both understandable positions to anyone with sense).
I don’t see why you have to get all uppity about it.
Because its not their sister that loves them, its them self. But they are too embarrassed to admit it.
I’m a former state prison employee. I’d probably check to make sure the guy wasn’t a chester before allowing him to keep it. Otherwise, that’s funny as hell. It made my day. LOL.
No the guy was in on aggravated charges…thus the “hardened criminal” anyhoo you can just imagine the look on my face when all I say is “twilight? Really?” And an entire unit of aggravated offenders get angry cuz I’m about to insult their favorite book series….
As another former corrections officer, I was always amused at how popular romance novels were. I always got a chuckle to do a cell search in the CDU and find some tough heavy hitter with a couple of Kathleen Woodiwiss books from the library on his shelf.
So I wonder how the mormon author feels about the fact that ‘hardened criminals’ love her work? Maybe she should go to prison and have a reading with them!
Actually it makes perfect sense. Just think about dropping the soap and it’ll hit you.
So I was drunk the other night and started reading Twilight at a friends house. I borrowed it and thought I might read a bit while waiting for a client. I was sitting in a busy waiting room and when I went to take the book out of my purse was hit with such intense embarrassment I couldn’t take it out. I think I’m going to have to continue drinking or land in prison to even contemplate continuing to read it…
true, that. I shudder at the thought of it. I’d rather go through chocolate abstinence than read any more of it.
