bullets13 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I watched a special on some Russian prisons, and if we really want to deter crime, we should treat or prisoners like that. They can only move around the prison bent at the waste, with their hands handcuffed and shoved up around their head. Outside time is actually in an empty room, and other than that they do not leave the cell. Except for the jail in Siberia, where they do calistinics at 6 AM in sub-zero temps.

Not sure what your analogy was in your post but is it safe to conclude that you support giving condoms to prisoners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what your analogy was in your post but is it safe to conclude that you support giving condoms to prisoners? it would be safer to assume that i feel we treat criminals way too easily in our system. I guess in our current system, i don't care much one way or another about the condoms. might as well sell them at the commisary. But i'd much rather see prisoners go to prison and hate it so much that they'd never risk going back. I think we give them too many liberties. I'm not talking about letting guards abuse them, but allowing prisoners to have creature comforts, time to play games, work out, etc... it just doesn't seem like near the deterent it could be.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 :blink: Guys, we're talking here about inmates having sex and spreading germs to our communities once they are out. I also saw a special on prisons. This guy had a g/f (it?) in his cell. He said as soon as he was free, he was going back to being heterosexual.

And the fact that any medical problems in prison (from any cause) are required to be treated ....... at taxpayer's expense. It is probably very cost effective to spend 15 cents for prevention rather than $3,000 or a lot more to treat an STD. While I really have very little regard for most felons, I do have regard for my wallet. TxHoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, do we think the people that were irresponsible enough they went to jail will be responsible enough to wear a condom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe one or two out of every 1,000 will wear one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
