More rubbish from you. If you cannot post something meaningful, just stop posting.
[ And there are women who work in mens prisons. I agree, men guaeds for men, womens guards for women. Deputies in jails ought to be the same way. ]
Yes and all prisons should ALWAYS BE UNDER THE “PENCE RULE”!!!!
No Male/Female prisoner/Guards of vice versa ALONE in ANY room without a camera recording it.
Why would we send anybody there then, unless that person was guaranteed never to emerge?
They often have cruder morality, but oh yes they have morality. The question is only what morality they have. And that’s going to be sent back out into the world in virtually all cases, in some manner or form.
And Scandinavia of the past is proof that in some circumstances it is viable to have prisons that to us would seem impossibly soft. The old point of the Christian reformers was to make them places of penitence, not of warping.
I think you are using the fallacy of all-or-nothing. The goal should always be as much of a part as we can reasonably muster.
In general, Christian faith should try to have as much presence and influence in prisons as possible. As the scripture says, “I was in prison and you visited [or failed to visit] Me.”
We don’t need to be wallowing in fallacies of the excluded middle. What happens in prisons does re-enter society in many ways. Even if all sentences were life sentences, the guards are going to have to take the souls that they have become back out into society. There’s no escaping having to deal with this. Christians can bring an answer, but to be viable, it also can’t be a hit-and-run answer (that will turn into secular liberalism by definition).
With the high prevalence of temptations to homosexuality, everything should be under scrutiny.
Here’s where unions often get in the way. In their zeal to keep their members from ever getting into trouble, they block or remove the accountability mechanisms that are there for everybody’s benefit. It by definition is a nanny government so it might as well be the most moral one possible. The presence of flaws doesn’t excuse the lack of effort. And it would be better to do it out of frank Christian faith than to have secular liberalism eventually wish warped forms of it on us willy-nilly.
