Mt. Vernon, MO—With great fanfare, HGTV’s Color Splash mega-star and host David Bromstad, has singled out the recently remodeled Lawrence County Missouri jail’s all pink theme as “….bold, daring, and just a bit little naughty.” The idea of going all pink was the brainchild of Sheriff Brad Delay who cited hard data suggesting “…pink has a calming effect on prisoners. Who knew?”
Delay went on, “Just walking through the hot-pink cell block one gets a sense of serenity and inner-peace.” Bromstad who was secretly vacationing in nearby Miller, MO., was tipped off to the makeover and demanded to see it first-hand. “To say I was blown away would be the biggest duh moment of the century,” gushed Bromstad, adding, “What genius! Sheriff Delay not only painted the cells an over the top shade of luscious pink but he carried the theme to a natural conclusion by providing coordinating pink jumpsuits for the inmates.”
Known for creating one-of-a-kind art pieces on his runaway hit television show, Bromstad told FCN, “I intend to gift an art project in tribute to the citizens of Lawrence County and their forward thinking Sheriff for elevating jailhouse design to the next level.” Pushing back tears he added, “…my inspiration for the custom piece came from a charming visit with an old and gentle trustee affectionately known by fellow Lawrence County cell mates as Lil’ Dickie.”
A spokesman for Sheriff Delay said he intends to create a Power Point presentation showcasing the new digs including several candid pictures of inmates modeling their new attire. The presentation will be shared at the upcoming Missouri Sheriffs Association meeting to be held later this spring at Lake of the Ozarks. Entitled “Pink On The Inside: It ain’t your daddy’s old joint” the presentation will feature Bromstad and Sheriff Brad sharing their vision of how this sort of radical thinking will revolutionize the modern small-town penal system process.
Bromstad has promised to conclude the presentation with the unveiling of his custom art piece for the Lawrence County jail hinting, “All I will say is it will be very, very huge and of course, very, very, pink.”
