After touring (no, I wasn’t an inmate) some federal prisons I am a firm believer that we need to change the system.

All the people who believe that prisons should be hells on earth miss the point: we’re making people worse. If we’re going to reintroduce them into society we can’t be giving them advanced courses in criminality. There are alternatives that still serve as punishment.

Before anybody criticizes me, please state if you have toured or served in prisons, OK?

He says his health has recovered following his prison stay for showing a national television audience a video of him killing a disabled patient.

Jack didn't go to jail for showing the video or even "helping" the man kill himself.

In the video, the victim pulls of the mask.

Jack walks over and puts it back on.

Yep.

Hey,you worthless piece of excrement....I thought that you were released early because you were at death’s doorstep.Why aren’t you spending your remaining days on your knees asking God for His forgiveness?

He feels fine NOW. Hmm. Just think if he’d pulled his own plug while his health was less than it is today.

Why not pull the plug on everyone in prison for a long haul?

It’s not a “quality life” being lived, is it? That’s the terminology used by Jack’s crowd. Quality of life.

I was just reading an old sci-fi book “Schismatrix” where prisoners were told, “You have one civil right: The right to die.”
