The only way to lower crime and prison costs is to make prison a place that no one wants to go.
Way too many rights are given to convicts. Prison should not be a rehabilitation instatute it should be for PUNISHMENT. Only the very basic needs should be met. Food, clothing and basic hygene are all one needs to survive. Make prison a place where no one wants to go and rehabilitatable people will not return.
No right to vote, file a lawsuit, lift weights, recieve gifts, television or physical contact with anyone on the outside.
Take away these privileges and limit who wants to go to jail. While in prison you should do something for society for free. Something people pay for with taxes that can be done by prisoners.
All surveys cost analyze through administration costs. They fail to analyze the cost of frivilous lawsuits by prisoners and all of the cost due to prisoners privileges.
What do you think?
