Sorry about not giving you a response immediately, but I don’t live on the computer.

Have you visited a prison? A government VIP invited me on a tour of the prison facilities in Florence, Colorado. The whole thing just didn’t make sense, unless you made money from the system.

What is the purpose of a prison? Just punishment? Basic psychology should tell you that you can’t take away all hope from a person in any incarceration. Does anybody here believe that the Nazis did it correctly; wire em up and feed them gruel? If we’re going to release the prisoners after their incarceration, how will the f’em philosophy of yours make things better?

What is wrong with the prisoners doing duties for society instead of making furniture for the federal prison industries corporation?

Your citing my possible gain from a change in how one pays their debt to society is noted. No, I would not gain by the change.

The solution is simple... do what Castro did... send them someplace else... Iran would be perfect...

It did not bother me that you disagreed with me. I don’t consider a disagreement an attack. I was pissed because of what you said about President Reagan.
