Not that I'm defending child molestors or anything, but your "If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime" comment is a stereoteypical knuckle-dragger Archie Bunker conservative remark.

And besides, what does prison rape and shanking have to do with "doing the time."

Many of our prisons are nothing more than country clubs where people lay around all day watching videos, playing on the internet, doing a few push-ups in a plush gym, their favorite dinners. Not much crime deterrence obviously. Crime isn't unavoidable --- petty criminals get a few days in jail, you actually have to do something fairly serious and have a past history to end up in prison. Drug offenders usually end up in some pretty easy place with minimum or moderate security. They don't even have to stop their drug use, they can get it brought in easily enough. One of the guards at La Tuna was just caught bringing in cocaine to the prisoners there, that place is considered pretty much to be a country club.

So what would you say to child molestors? You don't think they should do the time if they do the crime?
