What did he expect, the Ritz Carlton?!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Wow, Jasper! You completely changed my mind about crime and punishment!

Not.

[Responsibility2nd]

Yawn.

You think Prison is bad? Wait’ll you get to Hell.

Slavery there is 24/7. 365 times forever.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Don’t worry, Ray. Your slavery will be over soon when they stick that needle in your arm.

[12th_Monkey]

Shouldn’t have committed the crime Jasper. No sympathy for you

[dainbramaged]

This beast is one of many that need killing.

"If you come to Texas and kill someone we will kill you back.That's our policy."

[Uncle Miltie]

I’d rather he compare Prison to the Firing Squad. So much more direct.

[N. Theknow]

Justice will be this crud spending eternity picking bolls and singing “Jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton.”

[Kozak]

Well he can look forward to Emancipation March 19...

[Gaffer]

So.....lemme guess.....he was an ‘innocent’ free man just going about his business and grabbed by whitey and held now for what, 12 years maybe, as a slave?

hmmmmm...

[Gay State Conservative]

Dude should have stayed in the Netherlands.He could have slit the throats of 50 people there and gotten no more than 20 years.

[Kozak]

Should have been dead a decade ago...

Hey Jasper, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

Quit yer whining, be a man, and accept responsibility, you dirt-bag!

The inmate probably thinks himself brilliant, but the United States Constitution also compared the two:

13th Amendment, Section 1: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He is still guilty of capital murder, no matter how much he whines about “racial injustice”.

This link is the viewpoint of the brother of his victim.

Well Jasper. Prison IS slavery. The constitution allows it after due process, which you were given, during your court trial. Make your peace.

[attiladhun2]

No comparison. Slaves had to earn their keep. This a-hole merely has exist and he gets three hots and a flop.
