No, I am proposing that convicts are not coddled while in Prison. Read up on the Japanese prison system. It is fascinating. Believe it or not, when they bust US Servicemen that end up in their Prison System (it is part of our Status of Forces Agreement) they put them in what they consider a "lenient" and separate part of the system.atxgun wrote:Isn't this story a textbook example of how criminals don't obey laws?Purplehood wrote:This is a textbook example of recidivism.

I sometimes wonder if we shouldn't change our prison-system to resemble the one in Japan. In my opinion when you become a Felon you basically lose all of your civil-rights and should be treated as a bad-guy.
The OP's story just illustrates my belief that our prison system simply makes a criminal more of a criminal in the long run, with very few exceptions (not to say that there are not some).
If you are proposing criminals convicted of a felony should be locked up for life I would have to disagree with that.
1) I don't want to pay for it across the board
2) While many will revert to previous behavior, I feel it's much more egregious to convict/demonize an innocent/reformed person than to make sure you throw every offender away just to be safe. I'm sure others disagree with me on this point.
