It’s sad, but in a capitalist society, it’s hard to put money into prisons when by nature the prisons don’t make much money. It comes out of tax dollars, and can anyone honestly think of any enterprise that has succeeded on the funding of government money?

Maybe we should think about:

– taking away cable
– taking away their free weights (really… we give them weights so they can get strong and continue to be a menace)

Christ, let’s give them a “get skinny” diet, and make them walk in circles all day for exercise.

This is prison folks. They need to pay for their crimes.

When I was a kid and I got sent to my room, I thought “Sweet.. that’s where my toys are!” That’s until my father came in with a belt and dared me to touch one of them. I learned really quick that being punished meant reflecting on what I had done wrong.

How can inmates think about that when they’ve got law degrees to study for in the nice prison library (some communities don’t have libraries as well stocked as some penitentiaries), they have to worry about the prison basketball/football/baseball game, and of course.. I’m sure there are a few inmates that never missed an episode of lost.

It was Predator, I realized when I got to that line.
