Why have jail inmates been so happy lately?
It seems like mug shot photography at the jail just haven’t been the same lately.
All those that have been recently arrested for charges big enough to make headlines seem to have big grins in spite of the seriousness of his/her respective charges. This makes me wonder what could be so funny?
The photographer must do all that he can to capture the essence of his subject. Maybe the photographer plays soothing music: Kenny G, Enya, or even Arlo Guthrie singing “Alice’s Restaurant.” Perhaps the photographer has one of the colorful dusters with an extended arm that reaches out to tickle the subject’s nose. Squeak.
