STOP LETTING POEOPLE IN IN PRISON LIVE LIKE THEIR IN A COUNTRY CLUB! GIVE THEM BREAD AND WATER. NO TV. NO RECREATION. NO VISITING HOURS. NOTHING FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. THEN PEOPLE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE REPEATING CRIMES AND WORD WILL GET OUT HOW BAD PRISON REALLY IS SUPPOSE TO BE. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE IN PRISION ARE LIVING BETTER IN THEIR THEN ON THE OUTSIDE. THATS REALITY AND VERY SAD.
Tell me about it, I grew up in a violent household. And when we called the cops on my mother's abusive boyfriend he didn't care because he would say "good now I'm on vacation, free food and shelter"! Then he would get out in a few months after pressing charges!
Thats rediculous, sure the murderers and rapists deserve this, but not everyone in prison. there are non violent offenders. What your talking about is TORTURE! no food only bread - youd go weak and sick fast. No recreation, NO contact to the outside world, including phone calls and letters? No talking to their KIDS!? Sure so the guy who was talked in to being a look out cant communicate with his kids EVER.. right.. thats BS. There are alot of people in prison for non violent crimes, even some that were legitimatly in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have a friend in prison, he made a couple dumb mistakes when he was like 19, hes doing 5 years, he does NOT deserve what you are talking about!
You cant say lock them in a room and never let out, only give them water and bread. people with even a 2 year sentence would be insane and homicidal at the end of it! every crime would be a life sentence because noone would servive any amount of time for even the smallest of crimes! Like I said the sick disgusting rapists and murderers I could understand this for, but not the tax evader or the look out or the joy riding car booster.
Prison is no cake walk, there are fights every day, serious injurys and murders, rapes, and so on. I wouldnt want to go to Prison as is!
(and @ mynevaeh that sounds like jail not prison since it was only months at a time.. county jail is much different then prison, people arent in there for as long, and you can go for unpaid traaffic tickets in some cases!)
