'Girls Gone Wild' Founder Claims Abuse
Nov 23 02:17 PM US/Eastern
CHICKASHA, Okla. (AP) - The millionaire producer of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series has accused guards of abusing him during his brief stay at an Oklahoma jail, a newspaper reported Friday.
Guards at the Grady County Law Enforcement Center denied Joe Francis food and blankets and threatened to strap him naked to a chair for 48 hours, Francis' attorneys alleged last month in court papers seeking his release on bail in a Florida case, The Oklahoman reported.
Francis, 34, was held at the jail from May 17 to June 4 while being moved from a Florida jail to a federal facility in Reno, Nev., where he is awaiting trial next year on a tax evasion charge.
Grady County officials denied the accusations, telling the newspaper that guards never threatened to strap Francis to a chair, that Francis had an extra blanket he shouldn't have had confiscated and that his transfer was delayed because his family had somehow found out when he was to have been moved, creating a potential security risk.
"Mr. Francis was treated like every inmate that comes through the Grady County Law Enforcement Center," jail administrator Shane Wyatt told the newspaper.
Francis' attorneys declined a request from the newspaper to discuss the allegations.
Francis has made millions of dollars with the "Girls Gone Wild" videos, which feature young women in sexually provocative situations.
He has been in jail since April, when he was cited for contempt after yelling at attorneys during mediation in a federal lawsuit brought by women who were underage when his production company filmed them in 2003.
That lawsuit has since been settled, but Francis' bond was revoked on criminal charges related to the 2003 filming when he was charged with having contraband—$700 and prescription anti-anxiety medication—in the Bay County jail.
Federal officials then extradited him to Nevada to face tax evasion charges.

i can buy that, and even if she wasn't, im sure a lot of fathers with daughters who go to college, parties etc, wouldn't be keen about the guy, then again the guards could also be randomly sadistic or extremely religious, or both

Re: Porn peddler claims he's abused in prison
Irrregardless.
He was sentenced to prison and that was his punishment.
Being abused in prison is not acceptable.
The govt needs to maintain total control of the prison.

You sentence people to confinement, NOT to be abused/raped or tortured. That should be the ideal situation, but you and I know thats BS

Asked a buddy of mine in Chickasha about this and he told me that it's total BS. The asswipe refused to eat the provided food, which was the same as everyone else got and on the State approved menu for jail facilities. He then threw his food all over the place and was threatened with being strapped down in a restraint chair unless he quit. He soiled his blankets with with the food he was throwing and was made to sleep in his own mess for a night.
That ain't abuse it's called running a jail and this clown still thinks he's someone special.
Reading back through the article provided you notice his complaints are "denied Joe Francis food and blankets and threatened to strap him naked to a chair for 48 hours".

Thanks Buzzy. You always know there's another side to the story and what you're saying makes sense.
Still, I think we could do a better job of controlling INMATE behaviour.
