and free tattoos
prison0 -
tats are no longer available. Mp3 players fixed that. (in my state anyway) And yes..................Prison.
It is free because our tax dollers are paying for it.0 -

The poshness of our prisons are vastly over-rated. Medical issues in prisons are terrible - broken bones, abscessed teeth, etc can go for months without treatment because of the wish to punish our prisoners. There is also the excessive prisoner-on-prisoner violence to contend with.
If prison sounds like anyone's idea of a good "free-ride", then that someone needs a reality check. Life on the outside is much better.0 -
It could be a lot cheaper if people really knew what they are paying for. Do people realize that their tax dollars are paying for free cable and Yoga lessons? Free soda pop at lunch and family BBQ nights. Prison really is pathetic.0

Yeah I'm gonna pass. But if you think it's a sweet deal have at it.
I hear there's also tons of sex with no dating! The perks just keep coming!0 -

Those food treats are not free. Prisons often charge for those sorts of things. My sister paid 8.00 for a cheeseburger while in lock-up. They also have to pay for their own toiletries or else they are just SOL. Bras are often not provided while in prison. Underwear must also be bought.
The idea that prisons are resort getaways has been perpetrated by people who are frustrated with high crime rates and wasted tax dollars. I understand this. But that sort of "prisoners have it so good!" is nothing more than email-chain glurge, passed from inbox to inbox with endless FWD's attached to it. The reality is not so shiny.
Prison is pathetic. That's why people don't want to go there.0 -

Actually that is not correct. Prisoners are typically give very decent medical care because states are afraid to be sued. There is not excessive inmate violence percentage wise as in comparison to the general public. It seems like their is but in terms of violence it is not much different. If a person does not have reguler emotional attachments to people on the outside then prison is a very pleasing option.0 -

oh my god dude
you really have no clue but anyway...0 -
dont you have anything more important to complain about? do you really not like the idea that they get free job training? shouldnt they have a skill so that when they get out they have a viable career path?0

Yes. I'm sure prison is exactly like the fancy summer resort in Dirty Dancing.0

i read pricks... it was like a gift from Santa0 -
It all depends on whether you view prisons as a place to punish or rehabilitate. Right now they try to do both.
Sure it would be more cost effective to lock people in little cages and give them scraps. But what good does that do besides temporarily removing them from society? What do you think will happen as soon as they are released?
Rehabilitation isn't easy and doesn't have a very high rate of success. But it's better to try and fail than to just write people off.

Sorry but that is also incorrect. (of course food varity varies by state). How ever charging for toilet paper is illigal. That is considered a basic right. And soap must be free as well for the same reason.0 -

They do not receive stellar health care. In the instances where they do, I find it hard to complain about it. They have no job or money making opportunities while in prison - therefore they have no chance of accessing health care otherwise.
You may be comfortable denying prisoner's the ability to have bones set and vital medications given. But that just makes you one of those people who see them as animals and not as human beings.
Fair enough for you.0 -
Norway prison looks pretty sweet0

Hate to break it to but i work in a prison every day. I have seen inmates get released and on the way out tell me they will be back for the very reasons i am discussing. I have seen tax dollars be wasted on an inmate that cannot move in excess of over 5 million just in medical costs. I have seen the study's on how ineffective some of the programs offered are in terms of rehabilitation. Of course prison is not all roses, but it is not what most people think it is.0 -

I did not say steller health care i said decent health care. More then many people get. you show how little you know with each post.
Edit: They get a lot more then just thier vital medications. All they have to do is say that smashed thier finger to get a vicoden. (I have seen that many times) Also, almost every inmate has a paying job in prison. Aprox. 80% by the last numbers report i was given. (in my state i mean)0 -

Of course many would return - in a life where you've built your skills (either intentionally or unintentionally) on behaviors that break society's rules, functioning on the outside would be difficult. It is hard to get a job with a felony on your record. (Even fast food asks this on your application.) Your ability to get school loans, federal welfare, etc is affected by your legal record. And depending on the kind of infraction that put you in prison (such as stealing money), it can permanently destroy your chances of higher paying, more meaningful work.
The case of "Should of thought of this before" works BEFORE you commit a crime. Afterwards the consequences must be dealt with, but there is not much in the way to work with.
You work in a prison every day, so you would have the opportunity to see how it works on the inside. This is an important contribution to the discussion. Many, many of my friends (due to risky behaviors myself) are trying to live on the outside now. Their problems are also an important part of the discussion.0 -
Based on your attitude towards the penal system, perhaps you should seek employment in a different industry. You seem jaded.0

The problems of living on the outside with a felony is a whole different subject. However i will say that your above point in that respect is correct.0 -

Knowing the truth can do that.0 -
I don't see the point of this post on a fitness site. Obviously your tax dollars are contributing to this resort as well. What exactly do you do at said prison? If you hate it so bad, then why don't you find a new line of work? I'd rather criminals be imprisoned than the alternative which is living right next door to you.0

My brother is doing life and he does have a tv but he has to pay for it...35/month I think and family sends the money. He gets medical but he also gets beat up...weekly...raped and mistreated by jaded guards. Not all of its bells and whistles. And they have jobs and keep like 30% of the pay...any money they get..ie work...gifts from home etc get restitution taken out :-)0

cannot imagine what kind of prison you work at but a friend of mine his mom works as a nurse at a state max security prison and the horror stories she tells have no comparison to your experience0
