That and state routes. Heck, they even pick up trash by this little bumpy road that branches from the main route.

I've counseled in prisons before. Perhaps your idea of prison comes from HBO's "OZ", but the vast majority of American prisoners are not "dangerous" in the way that you are thinking.

I costs millions of dollars a year to house and feed only a handful of prisoners. All I'm trying to say is that rather than 23 hour lock downs, we could put them to work.

And yes, cutting down kudzu with a machete probably isn't ideal but there's no judgment in brainstorming.

Unless prison documentaries show jail gangs and bloody inmates, then the public loses interest.

*Sighs.*

"And I'm pretty sure you pulled that piss and shit anecdote from the same t.v. series that you get your other information."

No, I didn't. My father was gassed. Or is that something that only happens in the movies too?

Now go fuck yourself.

Corrections officers have to deal with all the stuff you say only happens in the movies. You're a piece of shit.

You're right Matt. Anecdotal evidence trumps my personal experience.

I'm going to go fuck myself really quick because I disagree with you.

Shouldn't take long. I am online after all.

I've already admitted that they happen. But your attempt at painting prison life like an episode of "OZ" is silly.

ONE time your father was gassed and that's the norm?

Strange logic.

"Man, I hate people like you. Always sticking up for the shit of society".

Who am I defending. Yes, I'm against the death penalty but not once have I said inmates should be treated better or let out early. In fact, I've said that we should make them more useful to society. Make them work more, etc.

Man, I hate people like you. Those who see everything in black and white.

What makes you think I don't want criminals removed from society?

Sure you can. Picking up trash is better than nothing.

Hell, give a death row inmate an extra hour of rec time if he agrees to donate a kidney.

I don't pretend to have the answers like Fresco, Merola, and you.

But doing something with non violent offenders even if it's picking up trash benefits society twofold by not only having them removed from it in the first place but also cleaning it up.

I never said reintegrated as part of the workforce. That's a stupid and dangerous idea.

I said picking up trash. Make them useful between the time they wake and when it's time for bed. It's as simple as that.

It's not utopian it's utilitarian.

And probably from there this show of opinions is where the brick wall appears.

You're right, nothing he's going to say is going to change my mind. I don't think prisons exist to rehabilitate. I think they exist to contain the dregs of society who are incapable of functioning within it. I don't give a shit if they do nothing but eat and sleep as long as they're contained.

And on that note, I'm going to bed.

I probably wouldn't have snapped back at him with the OZ shit if he hadn't instigated it with his fucker and hippie pipe bullshit. I read all of his posts and i think he's hilarious but sometimes he writes like an angry teenager.

I was waiting for ..."by reason of insanity."

I agree though, no death penalty for Jared Loughner. We should put him to work.

Jacking off horses for the rest of his life should suffice.
