Prison is for punishing the guilty.It is not a mental hospital.We have these punishments to let the vermin out there know there are punishments for breaking the law.
The ****ed up rhetoric I commonly hear on these "anti-death penalty" and "rehabilitation should be the main focus" threads follows as
"boo hoo sniff sniff what about the poor person who is morally and legally challenged.The individual who was unfortunaly deprived of his life can not be brought back to life no matter what justice we give the poor person who is legally and morally challenged and the person who was robbed can always replace their stuff.Whaa boo hoo sniff sniff whaa the poor man is suffering,Snif sniff boo hoo it is not his fault he is legally and morally challenged it is a mental desease that one day could perhaps be cured,so we should spare his life and study him"boo hoo sniff snif who are you to call this poor man suffering from some mental desease a lower than dirt piece of manure that is also a impure matter that rises to the top the surface of a body of water and bag,Jesus said we should ignore the sins of our fellow man and not punish in the justice system,you ar so mean why do you not have aheart for these morally and legalyl challenged persons?snif snif boo hoo these are people with feeling,hHave you no heart and don't you beleave in redemption.boo hoo sniff sniff waa waa haven't you ever made a mistake before in yor life"
This is what every prison should be.

In general. Supermax prisoners are locked into small cells
for approximately 23 hours a day. They have almost no contact
with other human beings.
There are no group activities: no work, no educational
opportunities, no eating together, no sports, no getting together
with other people for religious services, and no attempts at
rehabilitation.
There are no contact visits: prisoners sit behind a
plexiglass window. Phone calls and visitation privileges are
strictly limited. Books and magazines may be denied and pens
restricted. TV and radios may be prohibited or, if allowed, are
controlled by guards.
Prisoners have little or no personal privacy. Guards
monitor the inmates' movements by video cameras. Communication
between prisoners and control booth officers is mostly through
speakers and microphones. An officer at a control center may be
able to monitor cells and corridors and control all doors
electronically.
Typically, the cells have no windows. Lights are controlled
by guards who may leave them on night and day. For exercise
there is usually only a room with high concrete walls and a chin-up bar. Showers may be limited to three per week for not more
than ten minutes.
"Prisoners are confined to a concrete world in which they
never see a blade of grass, earth, trees or any part of the
natural world."
Criminals are vermin and should be punished.Prison should only focus on punishment.Prison should be a hell on earth for the scumbags, not some gay university in the rough side of town.
Most prisoners behind bars get the following,
1.Free education.
2.free medical care
3.Free entertainment
4.free room
5.Free 3 meals a day
6.internet
7.video games
8.free weight room
9.sexual relations with other inmates.
10 drugs.
11.Sex changes.
12.job
13.cable
14.free clothing
People in third world countries do not get that and most citizens in the US have to pay for those things.When did people become such ******s that they are appauled aby any real punishment of people who break the law?
