Baseball Boy

One of the bonuses from majoring in criminal justice in college was the field trips.  The most memorable field trip I went on was to Arrendale State Prison (aka Alto).  Before it was a women's prison it was considered one of the most violent male prisons in Georgia.  Yes, our professor deemed this a safe and appropriate trip for first year criminal justice students.  When we all showed up for the van ride to the prison one of my fellow classmates ( a male) had on baseball pants.  Tight baseball pants....on a trip to a male prison which housed some of the most violent men in our state.  You should have seen our professor's face when he saw him.  He stated, "Please tell me you have something else to put on before we leave."  The kid just looked down at his pants and shook his head no.  He also seemed confused as to what was wrong with his attire.  Well, he found out about an hour later when our tour of the maximum security prison began.  The hoots and hollers were to be expected, but the men who were housed in this prison had absolutely no interest in us college girls.  Instead they gave 100% of their attention to "baseball boy."  I won't go into details,  but lets just say that there was a lot of inappropriate touching of body parts of the inmates while they yelled obscenities to this poor kid.  We all laughed...nervously because we were honestly scared to death.  I am guessing "baseball boy" changed his possibly soiled pants and his college major after we arrived safely back to the school's parking lot.
