I agree (ooh, where are those flame proof undies) with your statement to a point; the biggest problem I see is that there isn't enough punishment in the jails. If the jails actually punished the offender, I could see them rejoining society.

But they don't. 'Hard time' is when a prison forgets to pay the cable bill.

Get rid of the perks in prison, make the only entertainment come from a book, make them produce products, and then you'd see a change in the nature of a criminal.

Because right now, all they learn is when to get up, when to go to bed, and what cable channels have the most interesting programs.

Yeah, but you can't get Tivo in prison..

To me that's cruel and unusual!!
