I think NOT. Who gives a crap if they are uncomfortable or at risk of violence...

That's their problem, and Im sure when they stole our cars or raped us, or murdered us, they were being extra considerate....(us-being the general law abiding person)


Who cares if they run out of beds and sleep in open spaces and under each others beds...

I care

Eventually some of these inmates will be released..back into society.
I would like to know some have been reformed and want to do better.

Take away a mans dignity and he has no motivation to improve.

when i was younger, i was placed in time out and received spankings, that was part of my shame and I am okay.

Most of these men in prison are there cuz three strike law or heinous crime. The fact that they are mostly adults give me little room to believe that they can be reformed...

i'm sure a few booty bandits have reformed the a$$holes that are in prison

there are still people in prison that got busted with a joint 10 years ago...

their still human and their well-being affects us all

hard pill for most to swallow...were all one

not just that, but the mere assumption that prisoners must all be violent jerks,,,who deserve to be housed with other violent jerks,,

is troubling

assumption comes from the need to be right....

One can only hope....

I am aware of that, but I doubt it was JUST A JOINT, it has to be over an ounce to even qualify as an offense. At least in my state. Lets not forget people who lace their joints in PCP as well. Drug offenders should be sent to drug rehabilitation centers, not prison...but I am sure many of these criminals are the same ones who bilked millions of dollars from people cash scheme crimes-and have heinous crimes...people who have been convicted and sentenced have gone through trial and the facts were presented. I am not talking about the (exception to the rule-the one or two who are falsely imprisoned) I am talking in general-the majority of the people in there, (gangs and what not) dont deserve any special privileges.

How are you sure..how could you possibly be sure about any one in prison unless you personally know them?

I have known many over the years that have gone to jail, prison..none of them were gang members.

A bed is a special privilege

Point is..we are all one (whether you believe it or not) and the well-being of other humans DOES affect you...

I care about humanity, prisoners are part of humanity, as much as some don't like it..they still are.

The laws were much different back in the 70's....

The 70's was the the middle of a drug explosion era, that is why, many people were dipping joints in hallucinates as well. There was also a huge freedom movement that unfortunately led to more violence. I am talking about prisoners here, like LONG TERM, have gone through jury selection, have been sentenced through court procedures, as i mention I am not talking about the exception to the rule, I am talking about the majority of prisoners, I did not say they were all gang members, but then again I am closer to LA.

I went to jail for J-walking, as in crossing the street, I stayed overnight, I posted bail, I sued I won. ONE NIGHT! These PRISONS are long term....convicted people. I am talking about the hardcore criminals....

i feel violence is much more prevalent in todays society than it was in the 70's, much more

my feelings remain the same for all inmates..all humans

Ever notice that on every corner in any inner city there is a liquor store? Do you think that is by accident? Notice how crack and tar heroin seems to miraculously appear in the ghetto's first. This is no accident either.......


are you saying that drugs arrive in ghettos of america by a planned conspiracy group? like a cocaine import agency? well just call them the (cia) to keep the name short.tons of drugs come in the country everyday to keep the flow going.obviously the homeland security plan isnt working.how can we keep terrorists out of the country if we let tons of drugs come in on a daily basis for 40+years.this group the cia seems to have job security. they bring in drugs under our nose and sell them to gangs who then sell them to samaller people who get caught and generate money through fines and generate more money through working in the prisons.maybe we should have them run our country?

law requiring welfare recipients to take drug test.

im glad if this passes i tired of seeing (welfare recipients)bush, clinton, mayors ,judges and cops on drugs
while collecting our hard earned money.if you work for the government you should be tested for drugs.

oh and by the way why are so many people on welfare anyway? with all the jobs created from the bank bailout money.

I had a post here months ago, that I had seen on the news that we received a ten million dollar govt, grant to restructure the Death chamber in which prisoners on death row were executed, because it was outdated and inhumane.....

The prisoners in other words were not dying fast and painless enough...

(huh- just like the victims they beat and rape for hours on end before they murder them)

I am sorry, but if someone kidnaps my child and rapes them,slams crowbars up their backside and lights them on fire, sits and watches them burn----A recent story i saw on Dr.PHIL last week---

I could CARE LESS if they slept with rats and snakes and died of gang green. honestly, I couldnt. Instead they get out early for getting free education and working while lifting weights and working out, a majority of them who get released, and then go rob a store or take a family hostage within 48 hours of their release. . .

Dude that conspiracy is like a million years old. we know already....i am talking about changes to the prison system that is going to affect this and forthcoming generations....

The conspiracy you refer to is so old, most of those addicts have passed on already, and I am really sorry, that drug exposure in our societies had to go down that way. I truly am....

best thing is just keep using up all the money and building more and more prisons....
eventually were all going to be criminals with the laws 'they' keep coming up with

That is exactly sarcastically what I am saying, why are we bothering to dump money into it......pot is barely illegal anymore anyways. They are a lot more taps on the wrists these days...i care about humans but damn, they take it too far....

are you implying that people living in the inner city are forced to buy drugs and alcohol against their free will?

I can find someone selling drugs or stop by the any of the liquor stores in the area in which I live..

Should I believe its a commie plot to steal my essence?

no im saying its worldwide market run by the government.just like cigarettes drugs arent(they say)addictive.your tax dollars are paying to bring drugs in the country(cia).much like a pharmacy non stop supply. regular people go to the ghettos to buy drugs not the super rich areas.when is the last time you heard about satanism on the news.when is the last time you heard about terrorism.whens the last time you saw a pagan. whens he last time you saw a terrorist.
i think the satanists are smarter than the terrorists because who are you looking for?
