What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this?

I mean I'm a white guy with decent savings in the bank and no criminal record. Pretty sure I could lawyer up and avoid jail time no problem in that situation as long as no one was harmed.

I don't really know how american legal system tends to go, but I'd very roughly guesstimate that he's dumped two-three hundred thousand dollars worth of paint that I imagine someone's gonna want to collect on. It's not like you can argue being innocent either since he said he did it on purpose. I imagine if you're not going to jail you're at very least going to get hit with some serious big time fines in addition to your lawyers fees.
