 Amy Fisher, journalism's great hope
How even Amy can deliver an "exclusive" when her story has been told, sold, tabled, cabled, cashed, trashed, compacted, overacted, and continuously and shamelessly forced through the multimedia wringer for going on a decade is anybody's guess.
My concern is Amy's column and its potential impact on the overall quality of the column-writing art, uh, science, uh discipline, or well, OK, not discipline.
The fact is, Amy came to the column writing gig the way many of us did: shot her lover's wife in the head, pulled out of a Celebrity Boxing match against Tonya Harding on the advice of her parole officer, and started spraying opinions through some misguided management spasm.

While I agree that there is a lot of abuse that goes on in the prisions and that Amy should not have been raped, I also dissagree with her perceptions as 'torture'-such as the jobs she held in prision.
I think the root of amy's shooting had more to do with the fact that she didn't feel loved by her father, and she was so desperate to feel loved by her boyfriend she would have done anything for that love to replace what her father didn't give her.
