A Day in the Life of Casey Anthony

Thursday, November 13, 2008

For accused killer and mom Casey Anthony, the party is over.

By all accounts Casey Anthony is a liar. She's consistently lied to detectives, to her parents and even quite possibly to herself about the whereabouts of her three-year-old daughter Caylee Marie. But, these days, Casey Anthony is easy to find. Currently she spends every day, every minute in the Orange County Jail in Florida awaiting trail for first-degree murder. For a woman with a reputation for being a so-called party girl, it would seem the party is over.

And Casey is not any typical jailhouse resident. She is housed under the category of "Protective Custody Level One" in the high-security section of the Female Detention Center. "Protective Custody Level One," Orange County Corrections Public Information Officer Allen Moore tells momlogic, "should not be confused with isolation or solitary confinement. [Those terms] refer to a cell and custody status used for behavioral and disciplinary purposes and would normally involve a small windowless cell."

Casey does have a window, of sorts --  her 12.5' x 7' cell has a floor-to-ceiling clear door made of Lexan, a clear polymer-like glass. She has zero privacy and never comes in contact with the other 652 inmates who also reside in the detention unit.

"Most high profile inmates -- either by case type or celebrity status -- are placed in protective custody" explains Moore. "It's for their own safety." Past inmates in Casey's jail have included Backstreet Boys creator and convicted embezzler Lou Pearlman and heartbroken astronaut Lisa Nowak.

So how does Casey spend her time? Her schedule is strict. She has one hour a day to take a shower, sit in the dayroom and make collect calls from the jail phone. She can access books from a library cart to take back to her cell to read.

According to Moore, jail officers say Casey is "an avid reader." Unfortunately, the exact titles of her library selections, which could include novels and textbooks, are not released to the public. Catching up on the classics might be Casey's only way to pass the time. Inmates in her category are not allowed to watch TV or use a computer. For the very social Casey, emailing and IMing her friends is a thing of the past.

But she does have visitors, almost exclusively from her attorney Jose Baez and other lawyers on his team. Moore explains, "Attorneys are allowed to visit anytime -- day or night." Her family however, has not stopped by. Casey, says Moore, "has restricted her video visits to family members only. She has had no video visitations scheduled during her present incarceration."

How does the incarcerated Casey stay healthy? She, like most women, has a workout schedule. Weather permitting. For one hour a day, Casey is allowed to get exercise outside in the jail yard. It's no 24-Hour Fitness either -- no weights or other equipment are provided, but she is allowed to use a basketball or volleyball.

And, of course, Casey dines three times a day. Delicious dishes served in the Orange County Jail vary from sausage patties for breakfast to scalloped ham and noodles for dinner. We're guessing that none of it would be confused with a four-star restaurant.

Here is Casey's complete menu for Wednesday November 12:

BREAKFAST:

  • Cornflakes
  • Cheese
  • Donut
  • Enriched bread (2 slices)
  • Margarine with vitamin A
  • Sugar packet
  • Milk with 1% with vitamin A & D


LUNCH:

  • Beef patty and gravy
  • Sliced potatoes
  • Northern beans
  • Enriched bread (2 slices)
  • Cake
  • Beverage with vitamin C

DINNER:

  • Chicken patty and gravy
  • Rice
  • Green beans
  • Enriched bread (2 slices)
  • Cake/Cookie
  • Beverage with vitamin C

And for some this might be the hardest restriction to endure: If Casey craves an after-meal smoke, she's out of luck. Since 1993, there is no smoking in the Orange County Jail system.

I think this is a horrible crime. I am so appalled that a mother could sufficate a baby and then throw her away like the trash ,all because she wanted to party. Why not give her to cindy and George to take care of her. And as far as the Death Penalty ,she just needs to sit in prison because they love baby killers in there. She won’t last more than aweek. I am just sickened by this.

I think what they should do is torture Casey by playing Caylee singing over and over again, “You are my Sunshine”. Maybe that would drive her out of her mind enough to tell us what happened. I say Fry Her!!!!!!!!

A menu in jail yet? Yeeks! My comment is Casey is more than fortunate to live in the USA. I’d love to ship her out to another country where she already would have been flogged, tortured and possibly de-capitated for this dispicible crime.

I think, for me anyway, the intrigue is Ms. Sociopath Prima Donna is now miserable and alone w/out her creature comforts and adoring men. Not that this is poetic justice-not yet anyway. I think the public wants to know that this “person” is suffering in some way. Take a sociopath’s freedom from them and their happiness is soon to follow.

Casey Anthony is a horrible person. Anyone who could hurt, let alone kill, a little child is worse than dirt. The death penalty would satisfy those interested in this case-for a while. But, to see her suffer in prison day after day after day would have its reward. Just so she is punished!

Dear Casey I hope that you are having a great time there in the jail. While your daughter is living with Jesus. You havent seen the worst yet. Just wait until judgement day and you have to face God for the injustice.I am not going to judge you God will. And while you think you are fooling the police God see’s all.

Can someone just wack this nut in the head with a bat and dump her in a swamp like she did to her daughter and we all just be over it?
