I didnt need solitary confinement I needed away from that asshole. unruly child my ass. fuck you ohio.
ReplyThe real torture is playing all Last Week Tonight episodes in the Solidary Confinement Area, letting them know someone outside cares about their social welfare and well beings but there is nothing he can do to the system. That’s how it works.
ReplyAs a free person, with at times extreme depression, anxiety and loneliness, I already feel like I have been tortured and that’s all from being stuck in a rural town that feels like an open prison with my own thoughts.
I thankfully can still get out and walk or something it helps a little, but I only get a fraction of what they are forced through and already feel like this isn’t worth it.
ReplyGot sick, John? Take care.
ReplyIt’s not like we don’t have plenty of good examples on prison systems that work. Look at The Netherlands or Finland. It turns out the best way to keep society as a whole safe is to rehabilitate people instead of punishing them. Shockingly it turns out that this works a lot better if you treat them like human beings. I get it, you want someone who did something bad to be punished but that should be secondary to the overall needs of the country. If prisons focused on punishing criminals creates more and worse criminals it’s worse for everyone.
ReplyEveryone in law enforcement is a repugnant piece of bottom feeding garbage. The simple fact that stories like this keep getting made with literally 0 change speaks volumes. This is what happens when you militarize the police. The illusion of a few rotten eggs doesn’t align with observed reality. Entire departments with corruption levels that would make gangsters cringe.
The prisons are staffed by those that look up to the most corrupt. That have future ambitions of going out and stealing them some money too.
The age of accountability is going to catch up with them before people’s outrage stops them. The simple fact that everything keeps getting recorded and leaked for the citizens to see has had a chilling effect like no other.
You know what song you NEVER hear? F the firemen…. I wonder why that is?? Any ideas?
Reply15 days isolation is already going to be too much for some. 3 days should be maximum. If they are too dangerous allow them to have contact with others behind a fence or something.
ReplyIt’s all by design. Recidivism is much more profitable to private prisons than rehabilitation.
ReplyIn the netherlands children are getting put in solitary confinement aswel
ReplyThe goal is to keep private prisons full. It’s all about money.
ReplySo those “punitively segregated”‘ geez, can’t have a regular-sized cell & something to do? It’s revenge by the administration & guards, & it makes the orisoners worse.
Reply“easy” solution; put everyone in favour of solitary into it for 1 month and see if it changes their behavior afterwards, maybe they come closer to god in that time
ReplyAs a late teen i spent 13 days in the local jail because i couldn’t afford to pay a fine, I learned to despise the sheriff/local law enforcement those 13 days. I’ve never in my life been treated as if i was less than human before or since those 13 days. Because of a fine I was told daily that i was a piece of shit, when my asthma was weezing I was told “stop making fucking noises”. When I attempted to complain I was told to “stay of trouble next time then”.
ReplyDamnit, John, you’re making it harder for me to run my prison in Prison Arcitect effectively. I have already done away with the death penalty, my prisoners live in luxury dorms with every amenity the game has to offer, and I am an equal opportunity employer. Now I feel bad about putting pixel people in pixel solitary for using a pixel shank to kill a pixel psychologist during a pixel group therapy session.
ReplyAre we really that much removed from the mental institutions of the 1950s.
