For profit prisons are bullshit... we should be offering people/human beings' post-secondary education and the skilled trades so people can thrive on the outside.... since we all screw up and make mistakes.... everyone deserves a second chance and remember the only prison we have is in our own minds.
So the squeaky wheels are the only ones who get the grease? Right after said squeaky wheels get impounded upon causing societal carnage, while the law abiding (and in some case, victims) are forced to contribute for the upkeep and now upskilling of these stellar examples of human beings?
Nah, fuck that. People on the outside are racking up debt trying to climb out of their own holes made or forced on them from dodgy governance, fiscal policies, and ill treatment of different subsections in a racially charged modern existence..
Nothing is free. Somebody is always having to pick up the bill for free shit. What kind of message are we sending to the incarcerated when their behaviour gets rewarded with three squares a day and a free vocational or university accreditation?
Fuck that very much.
If the incarcerated desire rehabilitation, they should pay with it by additional years on their sentences done in public works boot camps/work gangs. They must do the work they agreed to for a set period of time while maintaining at least a C average in the their assessments or studies. While their liberties should be expanded, dependent on their performance, there should also be independent checks and balances to ensure they can't abuse the system or BE abused by it from profit prison corps....
At the end of their journeys.... assuming all boxes were faithfully and with earnest intentions ticked, their records should be expunged or they can be given a designation beyond reproach for civil life and work/societal standing...
I agree with this.
I also want to see the violent and perverse ....those whom committed heinous crimes against another, like child rapists and brutal murderers, be put to death. People like Chris Watts and Peter Scully.
