The Hulkster's son, in jail for a driving accident that put his friend in a coma, just got moved last Friday into a new jail cell. He was serving
his eight-month prison sentence in solitary confinement after pleading no contest to the three charges: reckless driving, drunk driving, and having tinted windows on his Supra.
In a conversation with his mother, Linda Hogan, Nick (real last name Bollea) described the jail cell as half the size of his bathroom with no windows. According to
Nancy Grace, the cell measures 12 X 16. Nick's new digs include a cable television, unlimited phone use, a snack bar, and three other juvenille inmates. According to the Sherrif's office, he was being held in solitary confinement becuase he is seventeen and therefore too young to be with the rest of the criminal population. His lawyers apparently
filed a lawsuit against the sheriff's office saying that the decision to keep their client in solitary confinement is a violation of his privacy.
What do you think? Should Nick have stayed in solitary confinement until July 27th, his eighteenth birthday?

After what seemed like an interminable Winter Olympics break, My Name is Earl finally
comes back to Thursday night. Life is indeed good again.
This week, we come to find that Earl neglected to pay his taxes after working in an asbestos-filled room with his
brother Randy a while back. He did pay his share of fines to the municipality over the years, but Earl feels he owes it
to the government and adds this task to his list.
Earl is doing his level best to repay the government in a number of innovative ways, including filling in a pothole
on the main highway. Of course, things go awry when a police officer accuses him of burying a baby in the hole at
gunpoint, and Earl eventually "undigs" the pothole. He then gets the idea to join a prison road gang, where
he meets up with an old friend who is doing time. All of the cons are dressed in jeans and white t-shirts, and as the
day goes on and the heat beats down on the gang, Earl takes off his shirt and is in his jeans and white t-shirt. When
the guard begins to gather everyone back on the bus, Earl is mistaken for a prisoner, and despite his protestations, is
driven to prison.
Earl's pleas that he is not a prisoner are ignored, and he ends up in solitary confinement to the strains of Humble
Pie's "30 Days in the Hole." (A BRILLIANT song choice!) Finally, after a few meals, Earl is released. One
would think that he would put this part of his list aside, but Earl is determined to make amends, even though he has
become frustrated with the government and how they don't seem to care.
