USAT | Blue Chip readers we didn't know about

Prisoners at Colorado's Garfield County jail are only allowed to read USA Today, the Aspen Daily News reported yesterday. That's because inmates there for crimes against children and some other offenses could be subjected to vigilante justice by fellow prisoners learning about their convictions via the local press. Jail commander Steve Hopple says USAT provides "well-rounded national news, and it's fairly comprehensive."

    Hmmmm...a ringing vote of confidence. I wonder if this is USA Today's target audience? An opportunity for marketing, perhaps?
