Ok so an offender deserves his/her sentence but where do human rights come in when a prisoner is denied medical treatment, or given physical abuse to the point of death or permanent ailments?? Ive seen tapes and heard stories and i personally wanna avenge the lives and families of these people!! Why does our system still allow oppression and torture of our native jailed citizens??I wanna personally punish every person who abuses their priviladge of abusing prisoners no matter what their crimes!! Our penal system is full of punks and Puss*** who man to man couldnt take a punch from a real man like me!! Cause id put them in the hospital so be it!! Your in a position to correct/protect so what gives you the right to abuse your position??

Prisons don't work, they just create harder criminals.

The penal system is not meant to correct, it's not meant to protect - it's meant to segregate offenders from the general societal population for X number of years.
It ain't the Ritz. Taxpayers don't want the expense of having a prison population of 2 million people coddled and worried over when many of them have no health insurance of their own, and work hard and abide by the law. The money isn't there to give them the "services" you think they deserve.
If you can't do the time - don't do the crime.

Actually, we do not need BETTER prisons - we need to stop idiots from getting themselves sent there in the first place!!!
PRISON is punishment - - get it?? You are being punished for whatever dumb decision you made and got caught for. We don't give out steak and lobster for robbing a liquor store at gun point.... I have more than one friend who WORKS in a maximum security prison - there are two close to me - the ONLY time a prisoner gets physical or mental negative attention, is when the PRISONER is WAY out of line. NEVER does a guard just randomly open a cell door and just take it out on some innocent dude. Both the guards I know love their jobs and say you must of missed a BIG part of what STARTED the "abuse" in the first place.
Prisons should be more PRIMITIVE, not BETTER - that way hopefully you will NOT want to come back!!!
You did not learn much in your anger management classes did you.....

Personally I believe we shouldn't have prisons. Let me be straight forward why should tax payers have to bare the burden of keeping up criminal's and give them free meals and housing and best medical care that is out there when we cant even get help we need half the time. What I suggest is we make the punishment fit the crime: If a person is a murderer execute them within one week of conviction, if a person shop lifts cut their hands off, if a person commit a sexual crime cut off their privates and the list goes on and on my point is most these convicts are repeat offenders when they make parole. If we had zero tolerance and didn't pussy foot around with offenders, we would see crime drop tremendously.

Whoa dude lay off the steroids :)
What would an ideal prison look like to you?
Like a big Motel 6?
or more like a Marriott Suites?
Go ahead and give the details about what you want to have as the result, and then you can rally people to help you plan how to get from here to there.
That is how peple in the working world lead and cooperate on getting a task done, not with a raging rant, no matter how well purposed :)

Abuse and torture is wrong, period.
Having said that, prison isn't supposed to be FUN. Try not committing serious crimes so you don't get sent back there again.
And I doubt you talked to tough (or subjected a single guard to one of your "manly punches") while you were inside.

Because those in the White House have "no time or money" for it: they are busy sponsoring trips for the two previous presidents around the world, to urge people to donate money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina (how much money did those former presidents donate from their account, if any, that is another question). Furthermore, there is the US occupation of Iraq to finance, and, of course, the injustice institution (ICTFY) in the Hague.

it should be allot worse not better what is the deterrent of being in jail ,what do you expect time shares in Hawaii you should see how it is in other countries . if you are talking about first nations in jail that is a big problem much more then people can imagine it is worse then the way the blacks get treated.

I'm reminded of a comment by former Georgia Governor Lester Maddox. He said that it wasn't the prisons that were the problem. It's just that Georgia needed a better class of prisoner.
