good idea


As I said, the victims deserve compensation when possible. They should get a paycheck and it should be given to those victims, or put in a general fund if specific victim compensation is not doable.

If they get paid for the work that they do, they should be billed for the rent, food, medical care, etc. that they receive. And maybe they should be required to pay restitution to those they robbed or hurt. IT'S HARD TO FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO GOT THEMSELVES INTO JAIL BY THEIR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.

How can it be trespassing when videos showed may people being allowed by the Capital Police?

Aren't employers supposed to go to jail for this?

A person in jail/prison should have a space 6’x8’, a toilet w/hand wash, raised area for a bed/bunk, two blankets (one used for a pillow), one wash cloth, two tbl spoons detergent (per week), and three “squares” per day (1800 calories). Drinking water is at the hand wash.

After the first six months, with good behavior, a prisoner will be granted supervised exercise, in an enclosed area, every other day. Medical care only if a person ill enough to be hospitalized.

The above should apply to every convict….in for one day or life without parole.

No “work”, no compensation, no rehabilitation, no rewards, no TV, no treats…..NO FREEDOM!

I like that texas sheriff idea! Oh and they should have to work on farm labor! Work so hard they don’t have the strength to get into trouble! Prison should be extreme! That way it would keep people out not in! I cot I hot

Well...most of you are not very educated in the criminal justice system.
I happen to have extensive knowledge of this field.
But I think I shall stay silent for the moment.
But I'll let you all in on this tidbit:
The general's leather chair, the credenza in the FBI lobby, the office cubicle at the local Social Security office, the khaki shirt wornby the Marine recruiter.. we're all probably made by federal inmates in prison. UNICOR
THERE..that should keep you busy

Prisoners are put to work to give them something to do. That being said, some prisons do compensate prisoners a dollar or two and hour so they'll have a few coins to rub together when they are eventually released.
