A 24 year old inmate at a Florida jail decided that he wanted to kill a 65 year old guard. Imagine his surprise, when other inmates jumped in....... On the side of the guard.
Goes to show that not all inmates in jails are scumbags, just some of them. I believe that the inmates who saved the guard's life should have their sentences reduced as a reward. I also believe that the punk who tried to kill him needs a VERY long sentence to reflect on what he tried to do.

This happens more frequently than the MSM reports.A 24 year old inmate at a Florida jail decided that he wanted to kill a 65 year old guard. Imagine his surprise, when other inmates jumped in....... On the side of the guard.
I can attest that many are not.
Were I King of the World, I'd make every felony conviction a life sentence at hard labor. The only people released, first to parole, then to general freedom would be those that could convince a series of panels made up largely of productive taxpayers, that there was some value to Society if they were to be released.
The idea here being that maybe then, the cleverer inmates would seek a useful education in prison, develop marketable skills and behave in a manner suggestive of civilized human beings.
The rest could just make useful, inexpensive products for the rest of us, and grow their own food.

I used to visit one of my best friends regularly in prison. His family couldn't ever seem to find the time.
The problem as I see it, is that incarceration as we practice it, tends to allow people to avoid improving themselves while imprisoned.
Partly, this is because prison is not a particularly unpleasant place for people who belive and have been taught that they have no freedom anyway. In prison, the walls are simply visible in their outlook.

This was a county jail, not a major prison. I think most of the people in there are basically decent people who did something stupid. I'm not sure the same thing would have happened in a penitentiary.
