SMDH! Where is the call for free ben and jerrys? Even better, why arrest and incarcerate them at all. Just think of the money that could be, well, probably sent to trespassers entering the country illegally. Well it used to be illegal.

What about the Victims , Bernie

[ptsal]

Such a deal from Grandpa Bern.
  cell phone

       and a living wage.

Self-inflicted slavery, so easy.
Just read the fine print, if you can read.

The “Prisoner Bill of Rights” is detailed as one element of Sanders’ comprehensive “Justice and Safety for All”

---

The dems must be figuring that criminals and their relatives are a voting bloc ripe for the harvesting. It used to be, long ago, that having a criminal in the family brought a certain amount of shame, now politicians are actively courting their votes.

[BitWielder1]

So they can run their criminal businesses from jail unimpeded.

I honestly thought that this was a joke or satire. Onion or Babylon Bee stuff, but no- it’s under the heading of you just can’t make this stuff up

[bigbob]

What good are rights without free porn?

[RooRoobird20]

Is this a joke?!? Unbelievable.

So Bernie is now pandering to “people of color” by pandering to convicted felons.

Obviously Crazy Bernie is trying to do penance for being an old honkey geezer.

[Billthedrill]

Does Bern intend that to apply to the conservative concentration camps too?

‘Prisoner Bill of Rights’ Guarantees Free Phone Calls

"Call the pizza man!"

[TexasGator]

Actually, free calls and chats with verified kin Is a good idea.

[Tzimisce]

The law only protects those who break it.

[meridenite]

local rags and hacks are blabbing about a/c for jails and prisons.

[Vaquero]

I haven’t decided in my own mind if Bernie is a thinking Marxist POS or a Useful Idiot to the Marxist POSs as per VI Lenin.

Maddening

[Kickass Conservative]

Need a good paying Job with free Room and Board and free Healthcare, go out and Murder someone.

[Tell It Right]

When I was growing up we had a saying that "Crime does not pay".

That was before Bernie "enlightened" us.

[Seruzawa]

I’m beginning to suspect the Bernie is just a jokester seeing how far he can push things and still get idiots to vote for him.

[bgill]

Living wage for whom? Have you given your vacation homes to a few poor families, Bernie? You’re denying them equal standing.

Those non-living wage folks are most likely making living wages but are spending willy nilly. No one needs to go out every Friday and Saturday nights (and in between). No one needs to eat out most of their meals. No one needs to have a closet the size of another room and not wear 95% of the clothes. No one needs to have a salon amount of beauty supplies. No one needs bling out the wazoo. No one needs to forgo the rent to take a vacation or buy a new car. Those are wants, not needs.

[Svartalfiar]

This is a half-good idea. Phone calls are crazy cheap nowadays, there’s no reason they should be charged a crazy amount. Hell, the jail already has internet service, a bunch of voip phones makes the true cost close to zero.
Video chat, sure, make it secured to where a couple computers can only run Skype/Facetime/Hangouts/yahoo messenger applications. All of which are free services. Guards can easily watch any screen to make sure E there’s no hanky-panky.

“Living wage”? And what, exactly, is that? Hell, put em to work cleaning roadsides, smashing grovel, whatever city work is available, and pay them 20% below market rate for that job. They’re in prison, not an all-inclusive job program...
