Three times per week, prisoners are chained to one another by the feet and transported via bus to an idyllic outdoor area. Each inmate recieves a net and, as a group, are encouraged to frolic in the rolling fields catching butterflies.
An ornate flute is sounded when tea is ready to be served and
stories can then be exchanged about their day's experience.

erm.. what's the purpose of said trip ? is it to humilate the prisoners, or decimate the butterfly population ?
P.S. it's very difficult to get prisoners on to a bus if there feet are chained together. Ankle are a bit - but not much - better. |

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. |

I wonder what effect a butterfly flapping its wings in a net on this side of the planet has on the other. |
|
|
The chains are purely decorative, and make an enchanting tinkle sound much like a dancing pixie. |
|
|
curiously, on the basis that the chains are decorative (as long as they're really long), and so long as catching butterflies isn't compulsory (is only encouraged), I think this sounds close to penal reform, and therefore, a bun for you. |
|
|
As long as the butterflies are not being harvested for their beauty, (as in the book/movie "Papillion"). A strict catch, photograph, and release program should be used. |

I laughed so hard I bunned it. + |

|
I'm bunning it, I don't know why, but I am. Shouldn't this be made part of the national curriculum? |
|
|
was hoping this involved chained butterflies. Such
disappointment |
