Oh yeah.
Have you seen most of the Prisons we have today?
You'd swear we were sending convicted criminals to a 5-star resort or something.
Prisons in America are like, nicer than many peoples' actual homes are.
Think about it: a free roof over your head, 3-square meals a day, cable T.V., & all insurance & medical expenses are covered by the state, including cosmetic & non-invasive procedures.
Hell, some prisons even offer college education credits for "Good" inmates FREE OF CHARGE!
For Christ's sake, a friggin' serial-killer on death-row can choose to have a friggin' sex-change operation if he/she wants to, & the Government HAS to not only provide the medical personell to preform this, but THEY have to PAY for this as well.
Since when does a convicted criminal get to have more rights than a good, tax-paying, law-abiding citizen?
That's just messed up, man.
No wonder we have so many repeat offenders: Going to prison is like a free vacation!
It's sad to think that all my hard-earned tax-money is being spent on providing sex-change operations & college educations to rapists & murderers, instead of food & shelter & basic medical care to good, law-abiding folk like me, who have to work for a living & provide for OUR selves & families.

Prisons waste BILLIONS of tax $$$$ each year on "rehabilitation" programs over the last 38 years and NONE of them have worked; if they did, we wouldn't see this glaring increase of prisoners now would we????
Actually, it's not the prison's fault: it's liberal groups like the ACLU and NAACP: they're the ones who got the empowered (for a juicy slice of 'kickback'...wink, wink)in Washington D.C. to flood out the $$$$ in such useless "rehabilitation" programs.
And they didn't stop there, either. The liberal and corruptive influence of both ACLU and NAACP have forced prisons to offer:
FREE clothing
FREE medical/dental/"mental health" services
FREE food of better quality given our nation's school children
FREE legal assistance, which wastes even more tax $$$$ with filing lawsuits rife with lies, just so an inmate can earn a shot at making millions of dollars (again, there's that 'kickback' word again.....).
FREE TV and movie services you have to pay for. Some prisons are equipped with those huge wide plasma TVs--and some prison inmates enjoy watching TWO or more TV sets in the same viewing area!!!
And you wonder why prisons are filling up??? Hey bud: the word's gotten out how sweet "inside life" is; where you been, dude?
Oh....you'd be amazed at what's been allowed to go on in prisons in your state, stuff you never knew went on--and all with the blessings of the ACLU and NAACP, with a little help from politically connected "Christian" prison outreach groups!!
Some prisons offer FREE COLLEGE education to inmates--education you pull out a huge loan for and work two or more jobs to pay off!!
The Toastmasters and Jaycees have established prison chapters, where inmates get around the rough edges of prison life using up these two once prestigious organizations!!
There's even some prisons that allow inmates to surf the INTERNET!!! Who knows who they could be chatting with.....and that's just the tip of a very SHOCKING iceberg, my friend!!!
Don't take my word on all this: speak to a corrections officer and hear it from them. Then pick up the phone and RAISE HELL to your elected officials asking; "Why the hell are you allowing (prison's name) to do this or that and waste MY tax $$$$"?????
Get the word out and rally up the voters to change prisons, make them tougher for the inmates currently living on the "sweet fly side" of life.

Yeah, probably. That's one reason you have repeat offenders - they've earned their cred in the prisons, they get out and realize they can't make it on the outside, so they do something stupid to get put right back in.
That's why the prison system should focus more on rehabilitation than strictly punishment.
