Thread: Better use of our inmates.

I do agree. They need to be doing somthing more constructive.
Like at alot of jails all they do is eat, sleep, workout, and then do it all over again.

I think that every inmate should do a certain amount of community service. Also in the jail itself the inmates should be doing all of the work needed for them to survive. For instance they should make their own food, clean their own cloths, things like that.

mm i do agree with this.
I think its somthing that all inmates need.

i think that those inthe prison systen should
do there time then be automaticly put in the army
to shape them into respectable members of the community
or some kind of boot camp where they get there lifes streght
through training, granted somegangs or people who think there
better would do it for alterior motive but that would be the way
togolet the army have them and shape them up if we could
stop other from taking advantage of it.

^_^ they have a pet program that started in a Nevada prison!

basically, they take dogs who are about to be killed (i don't agree with the term "put down" or "put to sleep" BECUZ THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING) and have very well trainer prisoners take care of them and try to work out the bad. it's given the dogs a second chance at life, and it gives the prisoners a chance to live again. a lot of them haven't felt love or cared about anyone for a long time, but since those dogs came, they began to feel that again. in fact, a guy thought he had become calous, and thought he couldn't feel anymore... but when his dog (Trixie?) was adopted, he felt that sadness and love. the lady taking the dog (Trixie?) said he had a heart... ^_^ and that made him very happy...

but yeah, i'm totally all for prisons not being a time out! we've seen again and again that sitting in a cell only makes you meaner and worser (haha, grammar). so let them work on farms, make cars, build houses, maybe even agree to try medication! and if they want to, even donate their organs when they pass away (however, there's that whole getting the memories of the donor, and that might suck but that's a whole 'nother thread, philosophy thing going on...)

Depends on what they did. I know if someone killed or raped my daughter, I wouldn't want them having a good old time. Id want them to rot or die. Victims don't get that.

right, right. i really couldnt tell wether it would be better or worse, though, if the victim chose the punishment....

as for the other inmates, you could take the assasins, put a collar on them similar to Battle Royale, and send them to do the government's dirty work, such as taking out Osama. if they succeed, offer them a nice reward. if they fail, they will probably die anyway, soo..

and then there are the petty crooks who didnt really do anything that bad. id say cleaning up the highway would be ok for them.

this is how we use our inmates to do better things...

not bad huh...

The people that commit BAD crimes, like rape/murder need to be put to death right then and their, if found guilty.

Those who rape are despicable, They need to be punished right away, instead of put in jail to rot, When we put people into jail like that...it's just more of our money going down the toilet.

Those who murder,and or kill...Need to be killed in return, If they think that they can treat someone that way, they need to be taught a lesson.
