Prison's point is to make sure people who leave it wind up back in it? Shouldn't we make better efforts to make sure no one winds up there in the first place, and to assure those that wind up there and eventually get out will not reoffend? Are we truly doing the best we can? Are we only jailing those that deserve it? Are all our prisoners just hopeless pieces of shit?

Honestly, giving everybody who commits a crime an immediate death sentence is more logical than supporting the American prison system. More evil and horrific, but more logical. The American prison system is kind of like drinking salt when you're dying of thirst. You're not helping the cause unless the cause is giving up and killing yourself.

Do you actually care about what happens to a child raping murderer? Especially one that gloats about their crime, smiles and smugly states that they'd do it again? Punishment should obviously be proportionate to the crime. Like, someone who has stolen a candy bar, shouldn't become a slave in a prison. The former, however, why not? Let them rot and perform slave labor until they keel over.
My 3rd shift relief at my current job used to be a prison guard. He told me about a time that he was transporting a prisoner to therapy, and when the prisoner was asked the question "What is your biggest regret?" the prisoner responded with "I didn't get to finish cutting her head off before the cops busted into the barn.". The prisoner had kidnapped a 12 year old girl, raped her, killed her, and began dismembering her. He beamed with pride over his offense. While he was transporting this specific prisoner back to his cell, the prisoner kept going into detail about the murder he had committed. Explaining what it felt like. My relief kept telling him to shut up, that he didn't want to hear about it. The prisoner kept on running his mouth, and finally said something like "What you gonna do about it, huh?" and was getting in the guards face. The guard (my relief) said "nothing, unless you make me". They walked a little further, then the prisoner sucker punched the guard. The guard turned around and hit him with his nightstick, breaking the prisoners arm. The prisoner curled up in pain, crying like a baby. Of course, there was a court hearing over this, and the prisoner tried to say everything he could to make it appear that he was the victim, the son of a bitch. Even though there was video evidence showing EXACTLY what went down. Everyone, including police, told the guard that he should of just killed the scumbag. That no one would have blamed him. I feel that someone like this prisoner doesn't deserve rehabilitation. Death is even too kind for them. --- PSN: KillingLegacy Gamertag: Killing Legacy ... Copied to Clipboard!

Only people that commit some of the "most serious" crimes will end up in prison simply because the people that wind up in prison have the "tendency" to ruin other people's lives (murder, arson, bankruptcy, fraud, racketeering). ^there be no point into trying to "rehabilitate" these kinds of people, because they're fully capable of "manipulating" the system/other people. --- I watch bad anime, you watch bad anime, we all watch bad anime! https://imgur.com/af9P3on https://imgur.com/5Uw5CXJ https://imgur.com/RaZileo ...

And for the record, I believe in reformation. In the context of people that actually want to be reformed. That are truly remorseful of their crime... Even IN THIS CASE, though. I don't think I could over look certain extreme crimes, such as the example in my above post. Sorry or not, you can't be allowed back into society.

I think the problem is they're too soft. They just breed gang activity. Bring back chain gangs, force the races to mix, and make them work 16 hours a day 6 days a week. If someone doesnt want to do the work? They can do solitary instead. IMO, prisons shouldnt cost taxpayers anything, they should be self sustaining. And when you force them to work their fucking asses off for their entire sentence, you know what you end up with when they're done? A hard worker. And someone who sure as hell doesnt want to go back to prison.
Right now, prisons put blacks together, latinos together, aryans together and give them loads of free time, so now shit they're going to breed gang affiliations and repeat offenders. --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. ...

Prisoners are used for essentially slave labor and the more prisoners you have the more money you make. System is designed to lock as many people as possible up and keep them locked up for as long as possible. Yah. Starbucks actually outsource production of their holiday gift cards to prison labor.

It let's conservatives pretend they won the civil war. You could argue that they did win the Civil War. They were able to successfully roll back every reform that Lincoln's Party put into place, then rewrite history to portray themselves as a noble society forced into war by Yankee aggression. The only thing they couldn't do was bring back slavery, but by that time they had found a substitute preferable to them (sharecropping). --- "But who prays for Satan?

Plus they could still lock up minorities as often as they want in prisons where they are allowed to treat them like animals again. I mean using prison labor for private business is nothing new. They've been doing it illegally in rural counties since the late 19th century. There was a Batman TAS episode based on this. The one where Bruce Wayne lost his memory and ended up abducted into a chain gang working for a private mining company that had a deal with the crooked sheriff. It's just that it's all above board and legal now ever since the Supreme Court ruled in the mid 2000s that imminent domain could be used for private enterprise. The argument was that the business would bring jobs to the small town community, so the storage outlet met the requirement of being for the public good. This has eventually extended itself to corporations and prisons. Pressing license plates and picking up roadside trash were for the public good, so making Starbucks gift cards are also for the public good since it's helping the job creators and the economy. --- "But who prays for Satan?
