There are some criminals who commit the same crime countless times. And they always get caught and sent back to jail without learning their lesson. They are basically just a burden to society. Furthermore, tax dollars are used to feed and house the inmates. If we just killed them, prisons would not be crowded and less money would be used on them. And by “multiple crimes” I mean major ones like murder, molestation, rape, etc., not peccadilloes such as shop lifting or DUI.

I need this question answered soon because my project is due tomorrow and my project focuses on the Pros and Cons of keeping Guantanamo Bay open. I need someone to give me a link or tell me the rights that inmates have and rights they don’t have. Thank you!

I host a show called The Peripheral for NSARadio.com and we are currently doing an episode exploring the American Corrections/Prison System. Prison inmates are used as an inexpensive form of labor (45 cents per hour in some cases) and we were wondering what you think of this. We would like some feedback on the issue from as many sources as possible. Please be articulate and use full sentences and we may use your quote on the show.

It does seem that one of the main issues that people are concerned with are taxes. Keep in mind that 1/3 of the prisons in the US are owned by private corporations and actually turn a profit. The govt. still pays a subsidy to the operation, somewhere between 25% and 35%, even though the prisons make around $60 and $120 million dollars annually.

G asked:


I’m curious about rape in prisons since it is one of the most serious possible crimes, and is probably worse than most of the crimes for which the inmates are in prison in the first place. Sometimes MUCH worse.

So, is it as ubiquitous as it seems in the media? And do inmates get prosecuted, or do authorities look the other way completely?

Thanks.

mel asked:


If inmates receive an education while serving prison time, what benefits will they face upon release from prison? Will they be able to obtain an entry level job without discrimination? Will they ultimately return to prison because of lack of jobs?

atlantida asked:


I am writing a paper in suicide in prison and i wanted to know what do u guys think why we try so hard not to let inmates who are in death row to committee suicide?
SO the whole idea is the gov./victims/CD, have to take “Pleasure” in someones death. Is this what you guys are saying?

TJ asked:


There are many ideas as to what we should do to people in prison. One idea is to make them join the armed forces, but then we’ve just given people we convicted guns. Not a good mix. Then someone mentioned using them as slaves, but then we have to mend some laws. Or we could just speed up the proces on death row, an save us taxpayers some money. Without having to feed the inmates, or keep them housed and all that, it only saves us money. Or we can keep our overcrowding, smelly, ineffective, revolving door policies that we currentlt have. Opinions or thoughts?
