I saw this on tv a few days ago. I thought it would be interesting to hear others' comments/opinions.

Reform, punishment and/or financing each prisoner?

all should be treated humanely regardless of crimes committed , and costs. therefore, no executions against their will.

however, if lifers ,,or anyone else for that matter choose to die rather than life incarceration , i think that there wishes should be met and euthanasia should be available. (which of course its not ) i would regard this as a humanitarian response.

unfortunately , some inmates are so dangerous , n violent , and a threat to society that they need to be kept locked up indefinitly . its a difficult matter of judgement as to who these folk are. best of luck to the parole boards with that.

...................................................................................

on the other hand its a great irony i suppose that there are more criminals outside of bars than there is in prison, and just as dangerous or more violent.

however, when /if trumps wall is completed then of course they all will be behind bars ./incarcerated in usa.laugh
if trump gets his way economically ....they will all be trading among themselves......kinda like prison really. on a larger scale. laugh










cheers

I forget the exact numbers... but I believe this is close.
The US has 4% of the worlds population and 22% of the worldwide prison population.

The Wild West had to land itself somewhere.

The alternatives to prison are either expensive or unpleasant. Taxing the successful to moderate the crimes of losers. Sterilising the socially irresponsible. That isn’t free to fail.

hiya Frisky wave

i'm not well informed enough to have a strong opinion on this. ideally i want folks to be part of a solution, not the problem. being a contributing member to the well-being of all. i also think education, training, and opportunity sometimes affords one a second chance. but how to choose who....i dunno. dunno

me...meh... i don't even get the 'three strikes you're out'...
if one is hungry three times, they will steal food three times....
