Bernie Madoff was attacked in prison by a fellow inmate who thought the fraudster owed him money.

Good for him! The mega-fraudster deserved it!

If he were a congressman, he’d be held in high regard by the DNC.

I know it’s not funny, but at least the Ponzi scheme con artist gets some attention once in a while.

I agree. The beating and comments uncalled for.

You know, I think you are right. Prison can be heaven for some, hell for others. May I suggest getting rid of prisons and in their place use the following punishments (depending on the nature and severity of the crime):

1) Fines
2) Up to three days in the public stocks (think of the Pilgrams)
3) Public flogging
4) Permanent exile
5) Public execution

For petty crimes like shoplifting, make the perp stand on a busy street holding a sign saying "I am a shoplifter. I steal from YOU for fun and profit."

Just a suggestion. Prisons breed more crime. They serve as recruiting centers for militant Islam, gangs of all races, and as learning centers for professional criminals. We should definitely get rid of all prisons and use the old fashioned penalties. They work.

Interesting ideas, all, and I agree that the prison system in America is a disgrace and must be reformed. Here’s my idea:
Take all the violent offenders, all at once, and send them to some remote spot in, say, Alaska, say, 100 miles or so from the nearest civilization. Then make them BUILD their prison, GROW their own food, MAKE their own clothes, etc. etc. Mandate the death penalty for attempted escape. What do you think?

you haven't been to a prison or taken care of convicts. The prisoner with the " heart of gold ,Mogan Freeman/ shawshank redemption" cr#p doesn't exist. By the time you get a state or federal prison sentence you " deserve" a lot more than a good beat down or hokey-pokey.

madoff is lucky and so is his wife that he didn't rip off somebody with real muscle.
