Basketball star given time in pink underwear
A former US basketball Hall of Fame player has been sentenced to spend ten days in pink underwear in order to think about a crime he recently committed.
Charles Barkeley was caught driving under the influence of alcohol on New Year’s Eve and it has been revealed this week that he will be sent to Arizona’s notorious Tent City jail for atonement.
The prison is run by Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in the west”, who makes his convicts sleep in tents wearing only pink underwear.
They are also fed on sandwiches costing 20 cents a day less than the food spent on feeding the jail’s guard dogs.
Barkeley is perhaps best known for his work as a commentator on an American TV network – although if he appears back on the box, we’ll now all be wondering if he still wears pink pants.
Should Barkeley develop a passion for pink pants while inside, he could check out lingerieplease.co.uk upon his release in order to stock up.
It was recently reported by Rhode Island TV station NBC2 News that a robber in the state had held up three convenience stores – wearing underwear on his head.
