It's a bit like walking through a zoo, with cages housing up to 24 men, a couple of toilets, a shower, a table and a row of telephones.
These inmates have become unmanageable so officers don't spend time in the cells, but instead peer in on them from the walk once or twice an hour to make sure everyone's still alive.
Remember, this isn't prison. Technically these men are innocent.
Just where in the U.S. Constitution does it say prison inmates deserve any better?
it doesn't, it's more an issue of not creating a self-fulfilling prophecy
they shouldn't feel like they're living it up at a 5-star hotel, but they shouldn't be cooped up like cattle or prisoners in the gulag. our ****ty prisons are a huge part of the recidivism problem in the US today, and is it surprising at all? you shove these people in a concrete room for a few years, where all they do is menial labor and talking to other prisoners, then once they're out they find it hard to get a job because they have no skills or education.
you tell a person they're dirt for long enough, they start to believe it.
Gee I'd like to help, really I do, maybe donate a flat screen, computer terminal, maybe left wing for the powder room and showers, but golly, I'm all tapped out. Sorry
......The soul of America these days is straight out of the dark ages.
Seems like this subject has you running on emotions.
Better bone up on punishment in the Dark Ages.
