Being in jail is not the holiday think it is.  that is why everyone in jail wants out sdo bad and why criminals try to avoid going to jail.

You talk about trying something "new" then suggest a widely used method from the past that was a proven failure.  It takes more manpower and force to get hard labor out of prisoners.  That costs more.  It also doesn't do anything to reduce the level of aggression between inmates.  It costs more and accomplishes nothing.  It has been tried and failed.  So what kind of "common sense" tells you it will work if we bring it back?

It is not a holiday.  But it isn't as hard for repeat offenders either.

They want out because no matter how it's spun...  it still lack of freedom.

The time spent should be hard.  Not networked versions of the street.

C'mon don't be oblivious to what's happening here.  Being a lawyer you should know what prison is about... I'd hope.

I work with ex-cons but certainly am no expert.  They do give you some insight though.  Again something you should know.

Store is bullshit.  So is the system.  Inmates work it, try to manipulate it.

"The who cares?" line goes for better than lounging, watching TV, and playing cards.  Certainly better than lifting weights.

That place should be just north of hell.  A place no one would ever want to go back to and no room for manipulation.
