Do prison’s use electric fences? I don’t know, but if they do then I’d think it would be legal to build an electric fence on the border. But if they don’t it’s probably because it’s either ineffective or illegal.

I know they had to stop using ground based radar because it made the illegals sterile when they were zapped by the radar for too long. Of course to me that’s win-win, but human rights courts see it differently.

Sure they do. But comparing a border thousands of miles long with a prison containment might be apples-and-oranges.

Or maybe fried-bananas-and-tomatoes. :-)

Prisons do utilize electric fencing. But the prison population presumably can read and is made aware of the dangers of that fencing.

ILLEGAL aliens (those who Rick Perry has yet to send to college) may be illiterate or just plain stupid enough to think they could climb an electric fence and survive. They try crossing our deserts and die by the hundreds in the process, so electric fencing would be out because, when and if anyone died it would be America's fault just as it is America's fault that they die crossing our deserts.
