Default Freedom and Prisons

A few years ago during a group outing from Chicago to John Dupree's
glider operation in Canon City (home of several prisons including a
"supermax") one of our pilots landed a rented SGS 2-33 in a prison
farm field. Neither the local prison officials or John Dupree were
too happy about this at the time. Of course the machine had to be
disassembled under guard. A few pilots there to reposition the
aircraft lamented that our pilot landed at the men's prison and not
the women's facility.

Come to think of it, don't Tehachapi and Avenal have nearby prisons,
too?

Hmmm....
