Penn To Build Faculty Prison

In light of the high conviction rate among Penn faculty (including neurosurgery professor Tracy McIntosh and marketing prof Scott Ward), the University has decided to build a new prison for its faculty criminals. 

"This is a great opportunity to have the best and brightest minds of the federal and state correctional systems right here on campus," said Penn President Amy Gutmann. "It will be an exciting, interdisciplinary, high-security facility where inmates and visitors alike can create knowledge."

Or so says the joke issue of today's Daily Pennsylvanian.

I think we should just take over the Eastern State Pen!

Funny post, Dan, but given that the subject is jails, you lose one point for failing to pun on "Penn" in the title of your post.
