We need all girl prisons where the lesbian guards can get the hot action..... Not a bunch of male chauvinist pigs. Put in lots of surveillance cams and put select footage on HBO.

We have to be about conscience outside looking in, or we lose it. Sorry, the legal system in any “liberal democracy” will never allow it to be a self contained world.

And anyhow you go around strutting as a “Christian.” What, do concrete walls stop God or what He expects of any civilized country?

At the very least, a system with conscience calloused away will gather demons, who will then proceed to plague the whole area because they too are not stopped by concrete walls. It’s wise not to feed into that.

A lot of prison guards (not all, I’m sure there are many fine ones) are police academy rejects.

I imagine that most (not all) of those therapists that treat prisoners are not the cream of the crap either.

Why don’t you step away for a whole day and consider what kind of moral universe you are speaking in defense of.

If you think prisons have morality think again.

...It’s quite possible that she was setting up a nice settlement nest egg for her life after prison.

There are prisoners to think about this morning ranging from Tommy Robinson in Hull, England who could end up being beaten and or murdered by his fellow inmates who happen to be Muslims to the Oregon ranchers, Dwight and Stephen Hammond, jailed as terrorists for lighting a backfire with five year mandatory sentences.

And some more I mention in this new blog post.

When I told my junior high school guidance counselor about molestation by an adult male “friend” she asked me to think about how I might have brought it on with the way I had acted or dressed. That hurt more than the actual molestation because I knew, even at the age of 12, this was not the normal response of a caring responsible adult in her position and my cry for help was falling on deaf ears.

“I just think bringing back old-time hangings would hit the mark square-on.”........

Now you can see why those jail cells in the old western movies were so small. Most times it was just an overnight stay.

I wasn't making a point one way or the other.

Just filling in some of the details.

For what it;s worth, I think the abuse of prisoners by officials and other prisoners is an outrage and a blot on the soul of the nation.

What the hell is your post supposed to mean? She’s in prison for a crime that she committed, so its okay that she is raped by prison officials?

Corruption and abuse of power by authority figures.
Prison guards and counselors who break the rules disgrace their uniform as well harm their charges.
Even a prisoner deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
There is a line none of us should cross.


The other side of this is that prisoners by nature are very manipulative.

Slow down and get a grip on yourself FRiend.

Do you see any comment by me that would support your wild assumption?

Of course not because there aren't any.

I suggest you also read my post #34.

I have found during my lifetime that especially traumatic situations are often not in and of themselves as harmful as what follows.

Your “filling in details” was just as unnecessary, as your original post.
