BUFFALO, Mo. (AP) - Prisoners returning to a jail damaged in a failed breakout attempt will find a radically new decor - pink with blue teddy bear accents.

Dallas County Sheriff Mike Rackley said he decided on the colour scheme as part of extensive repairs necessary after inmates set a fire and vandalized the interior on Oct. 8.

"Basically, if they are going to act like children and commit a childish act, then we'll make a childish atmosphere," he said. "And it's a calming thing - teddy bears are soothing. So we made it like a day care and that's kind of like what it is, a day care for adults who can't control their behaviour in public.

I heard they painted a bridge in Seoul pink to stop people jumping off it, ture?

And in England they painted a electricity junction box pink to stop kids hanging around it and causing trouble, true?

And korean men wear pink to stop their girlfirends from beating them up, true?

The Sheriff in Phoenix, AZ has the inmates wear pink underware.
