ORIGINAL: WeeIttyBitty Dont they already have road crew and work details in prison? Whatever happened to the 20 years at hard labour? Shouldnt there be a requirement that prisoners do something, rather than "hang out" all day. I bet the number of problems in prisons would drop, if they where busy crushing rocks or something all day... too tired to scrap... Real captive slavery isnt going to get an image make over anytime soon. Look at Alabama, the governor set up a series of boot camps to accomodate a rising criminal population and lack of space to house them. He purchased government surplus tents set up razor wire around them and called it a jail. The paperwork went out in droves about cruel and unusual punishment. Imagine that criminals being treated like criminals devoid of satellite tv, 4 star meals, sports equipment, computers and the comforts that many of us have to pay lots of money for every month. I think the funniest topper was that they washed the white underwear and orange jump suits together once and ended up with large batches of pink socks and undies. Apparently the pink was the last straw and the prisoners rioted and the warden was fired. With all of the crime, homelessness and child neglect in this country I find it ironic and hysterical that the government in light of all the things they can't get right is so interested in my bedroom, my boy and registering my body.
