To cut down on the cost of executing criminals, all they have to do is construct gallows in each prison, and use them and re-use them.
And as far as violent prisoners attacking others with tools and whatnot.
Well if you execute murderers, rapists, and alike, the problem of prisoners attacking others with tools, goes down a great deal.
Simple!
and it doesn't make much sense to keep throwing money at a problem that is never going to improve.
Surprising Fact: It actually cost… mores more to legally execute a person than it does to imprison them for life.
but they are also a menace to nonviolent prisoners as well.
They are usually kept in different parts and sometimes in different prisons, the killers aren't usually mingled with the guy who was charged with Tax Evasion (well....we've all seen Wealsey Smiles kill ppl :PPPP)
Forcing every prisoner to work.
Some places do that but one problem is that the killers and stuff could use the tools to escape but places don't give the killers and stuff that opportunity so yeah, some prisons do that.
I think an important factor for the future is not what to do with the people in prison once they're there but what to do with people so they don't end up in prison by education at a young age and stuff.
1.) I'm all for less C.O. on inmate violence, but a lot of people underestimate how difficult of a job it is. It's very difficult to treat your charges fairly and gently when you constantly have to worry about being ambushed or shanked. It's very easy for even a "good" C.O. to act aggressively in a "us or them" mentality when violence breaks out. Whether or not this warrants better training/disciplinary action, I'm not sure.
2.) Agreed. Solitary confinement should primarily be used as to calm prisoners down, not confine them for extended periods. Recently, California has gone so far as to put inmates in solitary indefinitely, simply because they are affiliated with a gang. Should inmates in gangs be separated? Sure, but psychological torture isn't the way to go.
3.) I agree 50%. Purchasing hard drugs is illegal for a reason and in my opinion users shouldn't be exempt from the law just because they're addicted. That said, there's no reason to throw users in jail for years just for getting a fix. Let them detox in the county jail and then put them on house arrest or court-ordered drug treatment.
4.) I'm sorta on the fence here. Sticking white collar crooks in different prisons kinda takes away prison's scariness and deterrence value. steps should be taken to protect all prisoners, not just a certain class of them.
5.) I agree completely. I've read about a number of incidents recently, in which inmates died from easily preventable causes like "food poisoning" and "complications of constipation (a shitty way to go, heh heh), simply because the medical staff were unable or unwilling to treat them. Unsurprisingly, most of these cases occurred in for-profit prisons. (Anyone who read my other posts on this topic, might be noticing a trend here.)
1) Recognize prisoners as human beings worthy and capable of change, instead of as animals
Most criminals regret their actions after bein… moreg incarcerated, yet are treated like livestock by the prison that is supposed to help prevent them from committing illegal acts in the future. Prison inmates are being beaten with fists and batons, stomped on, kicked, stunned with tasers, maced, choked, and slammed face first onto floors by the officers whose job it is to guard them. Inmates have ended up with broken jaws, smashed ribs, missing teeth, burn scars - not to mention physical and emotional pain. Some have died. Both male and female prisoners are victims of staff rape and sexual abuse. All this shows to criminals is that if you make a mistake, you are automatically considered less of a person and unworthy of basic respect and the opportunity to change.
2) Stop using solitary confinement as a form of punishment and realize that it does more h… [view original content]

Here is my idea ,
Here is what i would do. You know how when you call tech support, you always get someone from india on the line, who yo… moreu can't understand. They constantly say the word ok. So what if instead , we put the Prisoners to work on the phones doing tech support. That way they can earn money for their upkeep.
Anywho, if you read up to here, sorry for my short answer to you, but I tried to explain my ideas as simple as I could just for you. I hope you respond with an answer over 6 words. Thank you.

Just to point out not everyone who actively participate on this site is American.
Our country doesn't have death penalty and violent crimes are very uncommon.
Good to hear. My neighbor's daughter went on a six month heroin binge, a year ago, and just came back a few weeks ago. He was telling me, what they are going through, its just hard to imagine that life style. For what 300-500 dollars a day.
Well, I for one am French and we don't have death penalty anymore but a lot of violent crimes, and they're on the increase. Paradoxically our justice is more and more lenient.
It will come back one day (and sooner than later) I'm sure, because we have gone way too far in the "culture of excuse" and the average law-abiding Frenchman is fed up by these news of violent crimes by people who went back and forth to prison all their lives for equally sickening crimes. We had a lot of such shocking cases, at first mainstream medias covered them, but since the socialists are in power now most such cases don't make it to the national TV and papers anymore unless independent internet medias succeed in making it too viral to ignore.
Mark my words, France will be the first country in Europe to re-establish death penalty despite having abolished it once. And by popular referendum. (unlike the abolition that was forced by the government, never voted by the people). I'm giving it less than 20 years.

You raise good points here.

In the world today, if that happened today......imagine the shitstorms coming from people....
Ahh haha the ultimate torture I hate when that happens. Plus prison rape is up the ass these days (pun intended)
Responded with one letter, close enough.
I felt guilty and annotated my response above instead.
It's not that simple. The costs are mostly due to the appeals process and that should never be taken away. Right to due process.
A prision were aren't prisoners at all!
What?

I hope things work out for her and she's off the stuff for good.
Take out the profit. If there wasn't money in it sentencing would be more reasonable for non-violent offenders.
