On one hand, you should be safe in jail to serve your time. We aren’t animals and treating criminals inhumanely or allowing as such is just perpetuating a cycle.
On the other hand? Fuck that guy.
True… Once we start talking about more ethical treatment of prisoners, it gets embarrassing fast when we have to confront the fact that not only is most or all US incarceration not intended for any personal or societal benefit or protection, but it is actively seeking to enslave the population for shareholder value.
An entirely new philosophy of how criminal offenders should be dealt with is needed, but I’m not even sure those cards are in this deck.
You left out America’s seething thirst for revenge instead of justice and good Ole American racism. Prison is just a house to keep the undesirables. If you’re there you deserve everything that happens to you. There are no innocent or even people in prison. Those are things that are kept away to keep society (white ppl) safe.
For instance, the great state of Kentucky passed the ‘Safer Kentucky Act’ which allows police to arrest homeless individuals. So the process is: Homeless > Jail > Homeless > jail > Homeless > jail. Until the fourth time where it becomes a felony.
Geez that’s bleak
And the only prisons where rich white people regularly end up are Minimum security federal prisons, where the large scale financial fraud people go. Is a completely different environment which is more like a college campus or country club.
No cells, rooms, and there’s no fences or anything. It doesn’t look nor feel like a prison.
No other hand. He, and every other inmate, deserve and must be protected so they can serve their time safely.
Agree. If folks don’t believe in safely and humanely handling prisoners they effectively permit prison rape as a common and acceptable thing.
I don’t think that’s alright.
This dude is a criminal and I hope serves time due to his actions. He shouldn’t be raped or assaulted while there. He should be incarcerated.
Yeah, fuck that guy.
“your son wants to shoot a lot of kids”.
Ok here’s an auto rifle, son!
What the fuck.
Even if the purchase was made before first contact, the gun was given to the kid after first contact, that’s all that matters.
