Getting Arrested in Chicago Can Kill You
Okay, you probably knew that getting arrested in Chicago--or anyplace, and just about any large city in particular--is not likely to benefit you, or for that matter unless you are a rapist or serial killer or the like, society as a whole or anybody who doesn't make a living from the incarceration-industrial complex.
But did you know the Cook County Jail is a biological weapons production facility? Close enough as might as well be anyhow:
Cook County Jail -- a hot spot for the bacteria, known as MRSA -- appears to be contributing to the infectious menace, as hundreds of inmates cycle in and out of the facility daily.
MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, a potentially virulent bacteria that doesn't respond to several antibiotics used to treat common staph infections.
People struck by the bug frequently develop painful skin boils or abscesses and, in rare circumstances, deadly pneumonias, blood infections and other life-threatening conditions.
You could take steps to protect yourself by abandoning that life of crime
