From what I am hear on the news sounds like the guards shot 9 of them or so.

They might throw in those chlorine gas canisters to quell the rest of them.

Gangs.

This being Florida, the guards could have shot low risk inmates asking if they can have some more groul.

I am not stating the following as fact.

Of the tv documentaries I have clicked upon it is reported that most prison inmates were gang related prior to there incarceration.

They have seemed to use there cleverness/intelligence (Aryan Nation was set as example) to run a money making organization in and out of the walls they live in by running drugs and have even come up with a sophisticated encrypted
language to mail out orders.

Add to the other gangs black/Latino ect and some corrupt prison guards it is a society that thrives on in prison learned ways.

To bad that these criminals did not put those talents to use for the good before committing crimes/losing there rigtht to freedom ect..

Sure could have been a huge saving in taxes we spend and they could be contributors in our society.

Some prison officials primary jobs are to decipher encrypted letters going in/out of the prison and look for drugs ect.

All paid for courtesy of the US citizens via taxes.

Yet we toss aside the severely indigent mentally/physically disabled whom have no family or the elderly into state run facilities that pay Burger King wages and expose those for no cause of there own to live in filth/abuse ect.

I have seen Missionaries in other countries who provide love/care/shelter to severely disabled babies/kids (EWTN Documentaries) then the Govt run ones here in our country.

Many Freepers and Sarah Palin who have disabled kids GET IT on how KEEPING there child and the gifts from the exp. of doing so are something that words cannot describe.

(sorry got way off topic)

I don’t know why we let prisoners in these places have the amount of access to each other and to the outside world that is permitted them. Of course gangs are going to keep up the bad work in prison, if these people are allowed to use the prison as a simple staging ground where the state provides them room and board, which seems to be the case.

I agree with Doughty One. They should be kept separated as much as possible, not Supermax style if they’re not that type of prisoner (I guess the isolation there can literally drive people crazy), but certainly enough to keep them safe from each other and to prevent them from plotting together and organizing either inside the prison or outside of it.

Good for you.

If you have to defend yourself/family due to an escapee coming onto your property then it would like being killing two birds with one stone.

(btw I am not big on violence but 110% believe in self defense and shrinking taxes)

What type of Prison is this?
Your typical long term storage of criminal or the worst of the worst life long violent criminals?

About 35 years ago my brother got picked up for unpaid parking tickets and thrown in to the Saint Petersberg Florida jail.
About an hour after booking a riot broke out. Inmates lit mattresses on fire and guards set off gas.
David said he took off his socks to breath through and got an inch off the floor and forever paid his parking tickets.

Did the news report under what circumstances that the guards were forced to shoot 9 of them?

Other than self defense.

Which is totally ok IMO.

Now if they just lined them up on a wall in a firing squad for marksman practice then the prisoners may have a bit to be jumpy about. /sarc

According to an investigation conducted by the Department of Justice, Farias and Yazzie were exercising in a recreation cage at the prison, when Farias stabbed Yazzie with a homemade knife approximately 13 times. Martinez then joined Farias in the attack and the two reportedly kicked and stomped Yazzie for approximately forty-five minutes. He later died from his injuries.

He was stabbed 13 times and stomped on for 45 minutes??? Do they have no guards there?

What do you contact tell you about the rest of the prison population as in Latino/Asian/White and other.

What do they expect Obama will do for them, doors wide open as well?

I could see Obama with his plan to rebuild the infrastructure using prisoners as cheap labor.

Well, after an in depth study presented to the courts of the United States, the ACLU should be closed down for the subversive organization that it is. It nearly exclusively takes on anti-US and anti-decency matters, in an effort to cause the breakdown of the government and society in the United States.

The statistics should bear this out. They can’t burn those places down fast enough for me.

Do a search for UNICOR. The feds are running rebuild and remanufacturing facilities at the prisons. I forget what the pay is, but inmates work in a factory often rebuilding military vehicles. Inside is beyond nasty.

The non-violet inmates live in a camp outside the prison and usually work in the warehouses.

George see post #12.

If Slim (who has been a Freeper in good standing for ever around here IMO) is accurate then your setting up a defense perimeter is a wise plan. (not meaning to alarm you, maybe Slim can give some insight to the chances of any riot getting outside the walls)

I agree with most of your comments. I am not convinced that solitary causes mental problems though. Give them a 5” television screen that provides FoxNews, and a radio that pipes in a news channel, and they’ll be okay. Give them access to a lending library on wheels. If they can’t busy themselves, too bad. Avoid prison in the first place.

“burn those places down fast enough for me”.
Well I’d like its practitioners in the buildings when they are burned down.
Not much lower in the pecking order than an aclu lawyer.
