hmmmm... i can see why people would applaud someone
like this sherrif... but then again, i can also
see it being a bit ridiculous.
i think its rather clever that they wear pink.
but i think that the whole 'chain gang' thing is
a bit ridiculous. i also don't think they should
have exercise equipment removed. i also think the
soldier/iraq statement is a bit pretentious.
but what can i say?
i do wanna comment on this last bit... mainly
cuz it seems to be such a common thought....
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">comments like these disgust me. i think manyOriginally posted by Genie_thegiggler:
Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.
people are given the wrong idea about incarceration.
i also believe there is a distinct difference between
jail... and prison.
the term 'jail' was spattered all through the
piece, so i'm led to believe these inmates weren't
convicted of any 'serious' crime.... but maybe
thats my own stupidity.
i also think its pure propaganda to assume that
inmates live better than most 'free' people.
i also think its wrong to nod our heads and turn
a blind eye to the police state of a jail/prison
simply because we feel they 'deserve' it.
i dunno... punishment is such a sketchy topic.
we've been in the business of torturing people
(much less justifying it) for centuries.
i could prolly post and contradict myself all
day if i let myself... and still argue as if
my convictions are the sole weight in the
discussion.
i'm interested in what others have to say about
this thread.
so post
