"Such living conditions have been used as a method of 'psychological warfare' against prisoners, in order to both destroy the morale of inmates and break the spirit of individuals," Richards wrote in a court filing.

prison is so unfair

I don't understand people. Prison exists because we as a society believe they can be rehabilitated yet in the same breath we deny them the things that humans require. Sexual stimulation and release is one of the very foremost needs for any person and we are making our males convert and act in homosexual acts to receive that primal need. That's no better than treating them like animals. Which if we are to do(treat them like animals) then we should just do what we do to animals that act up, put a bullet in their head or drugs in their vein. If we aren't going to do that then we should also not strip away their humanity.

Literally no one who has posted in this thread read the article

Including gin

I think prison exists because back in the day it was to help protect society from the offenders. Now, the government and all their agencies say "it is a rehabilitation facility" because let's be honest, it is job security for many, many people.

Seriously, I am a project manager and just finished constructing a youth detention facility. Not only is it nicknamed "The Spa" but it also cost over $1M per bed (occupant). I have 3 beds in my house and I can guarantee it doesn't cost $1M.

I see your point about rehab but I think there are too many re-occuring clients and rehab just becomes an excuse or reason for the reoccurence.

Niceguy is spot on

The article straight up says you can get porn in prison.

Yeah, my house also also doesn't have a stone facade wall. Pretty nice unnecessary architectural feature. Oh, and the list is much larger than a single wall.

Buy them a plane ticket to a deserted island. Much cheaper than a bed you and I essentially end paying for costs.

Find out EXACTLY what is involved in one of these facilities before you tilt.

your argument is invalid.


and how does finding out EXACTLY what is involved in the building process have anything to due with the tilt brought on by your stupidity? pretty sure a stone wall would fit under the category of "whatever the hell else." sick rebuttal though. if it's so great at "the spa" why don't you check in for a bit and get yourself a facial

send them all to an island....ffs

There's a lot of people who view prisons as a way to punish individuals, not as a way rehabilitate them.

Okay, I can see him being able to make a case for "sexual" deprivation, but sensory? Urm . . . NO.
Strike 1

Also, if it is only this county that disallows pr0n in prisons, then his suit should be against the county, not the State.
Strike 2

Pr0n is decidedly NOT a Human Right.
Strike 3

. . . and GTFO, jailbird.

this is true, but unless you are planning on keeping someone in prison forever (huge $$$$$), you try to rehabilitate them in hopes that they never return.
