jails, inmates

[bhiett]

I also think that there are the ones who are there by chance, then there are the ones there by choice, and you an usually look through their record and tell which are which by such as how often they come their and the reason they are there.  Personally I think for the worse crimes and the ones who choose to return over and over as lifers should have less and less of the luxury.  Sometimse they even will go to have the luxury that they don't have in "real life".

I like that idea of reducing privileges for repeat offenders.  A lot of people make bad choices when they are young and foolish (or feeling desperate) and would profit greatly from a second chance, but those who do not learn from their mistakes should have decreased perks for increased frequency of offenses.  I do believe that all prisoners should have opportunities for education and/or to perform meaningful work, maybe not the entire spectrum of courses available on the outside.  Work camp style prisons have a lower rate of returnees and are better able to be integrated into society.

I think that taxes are to take care of people who need it.  Yet taxes take care of a lot more stuff that they shouldn't be taking care of.  I can see taking care of children, the elderly, and mothers.  I cannot see taking care of a lawbreaker who, at one point, was free.  He decided to break the law and did not learn a lesson from being behind bars and restricted from everything he at one point had.  Instead, he decides to keep going back (a repeat offender, in legal jargon).  It makes no sense to me.

What do you suggest they do with the inmates?

Kill them ...

KILL THEM!  If your crime is going to cost you your life then you will think twice about committing it.

With me it's not necessarily paying for them that bugs me. It's what they did. Am I paying for a guy who got some felony charges for growing weed in his basement? Or am I paying for a guy sitting in isolation because he murdered a family? Nearly 1 in 100 citizens is in the US prison system atm.

I disagree.  If you can't afford to have a child then you do not need to have one.  It makes me really mad that women get pregnant then go sign up for WIC and everything else and expect ME to take care of THEIR kid.    SHE decided to get pregnant.  SHE needs to get a job and support the kid she brought into the world.

I think this should have been in the payments thread. It has nothing to do with the title here.

hello  no, no jail mate

I think we need to make incarceration a miserable experience. Perhaps that would deter some from committing crimes because the conditions are not desirable.
I would suggest no TV, no internet, limit the books to those focusing on morals, ethics and personal improvement.
How about nutritious food that is not so tasty. Do not allow smoking.

This is what was done in the past before human rights group stepped in and said all humans should be treated fairly regardless of their situation. No one deserves to be treated unfairly because they have made bad choices in life.  The comment on limit books to those focusing on morals, ethics and personal improvement would be like saying  when you return to outside life you want them to be even worse than when they entered and not even give them a chance to better themselves. You are what is wrong with most people today.
