I'm not a big fan of prisons.

I don't understand how one who has committed a crime against society, killed someone, robbed a place, etc is supposed to get better when they have their life already set before them. In jail, you get three meals a day. Granite they may not be good sometimes, but you get fed. There are workout rooms, libraries, free 'cultural' events like concerts and speakers, televisions, radios, and more. How is that punishment for what they have done? Honestly, if I were given the choice, I would want to live in prison too. It could teach me to toughen up a bit and let out all my stress by getting yelled at and beaten up by some person who's already in there. Hell I'd just beat them up and yell at them right back. That sounds like it's the worst of it and it might not even happen.

If I had family, well obviously, there would be the punishment right there. I can't see the ones I love everyday, but they sure as hell can visit! It's sucking up government money. Seriously, even if you don't pay child support or you have a stupendous amount of tickets, you can go to jail. What the hell does that do but put them in even deeper debt when they can't work to pay the money back and are living for free in jail and being given all the necessities of life? I don't get it, so someone please explain to me what jail centers and prisons are supposed to do.

Answers I'll Get::
- Keeps the creeps and freaks off the streets.
- Society is safer.
- Rehabilitate criminals so they can be a part of society once again when their sentence is over.

Give me something different, because those don't work for me.
Oh! And If I get caught or fail at an attempted suicide, I can go to jail...what the ******** is that supposed to do for me? I don't understand why.

**True the center in the article is in a different country, but that's not the point.

I will state my honest opinion.
I support the Death Penalty.
Kill someone- Death
Molest/rape- Death
War Crime- Death
Treason- Death
Kidnaps- Death

THey had their chance in society, so let God sort them out.

Now for none over the top crimes, let them serve time in jail/prison.
Not trying to different or evil.
Just saying, Whats the point of trying to save someone who pissed their life away.

They actually don't have as much freedom as you think.
More then half the time they are locked in their very tiny cell. It's like being in School. You have to sit in your room. Then you get lunch, and following that you get a small recess. And then back to your room you go.
It may not be like that for all prisons but from what I've heard and read up on.
That's pretty much how it goes.
They spend over half the day, sitting in a very small and cramped room, staring at the ceiling.
I would certainly go crazy out of boredom.
Being truthful I'm a little pansy b***h.
I'm weak and I don't like pain.
So fighting isn't my thing.

My cousin has been in Jail for 17 years because someone was out to kill him.
He killed him first. Do you think he is guilty enough that he deserves his life to be taken away?

@Spades- They may not have the freedom, but they have alot of benefits we all wish we had. I know alot of people who would rather stay in prison or jail because they would get free education and free medical. Its the digs in there. So they get limited mobility?

@Faithes- Im sorry to hear that. I do believe in self defence, but not seeking someone out, just to beat them to the get go. I have family in law in forcement and military. I know the round abouts on how to avoid goin to jail when it comes to self defence. He could of done it in a total better way and still be with his loved ones.
How long is his term?

@ Exile : I am for the death penalty as well. I know most people are against it, but you know what? If you kill someone, you should have the same treatment. Sitting in a jail cell does nothing for you. There are however different circumstances in which the death penalty should not apply. It all depends on the situation and therefore the death penalty is not taken lightly.

@ Spadez : That did not answer my question...What is jail supposed to do to the people sent there? What is it's purpose besides to suck more money out of the government? They have the exact necessities required by social services. Shelter, clothing, and food in their stomachs. Nowadays, that's not how it is everywhere and they're living better lives than most people in this economy.

@ Faithe : I'm sorry to hear that, but like Exile said, there are plenty of other ways to take care of something like that. Your cousin should have known that and thought of the consequences of his actions. I don't mean to sound cruel or rude, but he had to know what would've happened...

I am for prisons and against the death penalty because I do not believe it is our place to punish people. The point of prison is to protect the innocent from the guilty. Karma will work its way out without us inflicting punishments. The moment we inflict punishments then we are asking for badness to come back at us. I plan on doing only good as much of the time as I can. As far as the person who killed so they were not killed, it really depends on the exact circumstance. If they really felt that he police or protection service would no save them I can understand them saving themselves that way if the other person was so determined to kill them. I think they should still be in prison but allowed some extra time with their family...some lenience for the specific case.

He has a life term. He has served 27 years so far.
He appears in front of the supreme court January 4 of this year for a re-trial.

@Marco- Thanks for agreeing

@Light- I believe in karma as well, "Only God can judge me". Something I do believe in. Still, if one kills, they deserve what they get. A life for a life, and eye for an eye. The circle of life aint lying.

The reason I didn't answer the question is because I don't have one, I just spoke my opinion about the whole thing.
Speaking that they don't have as much freedom as you think.
Though they do get benefits from being in Jail, and I am in a way favored for the death penalty.
I do believe that being in jail is better then being free.
I'd much rather have a murderer locked away with his food and workout sets then out and about killing people and threatening my life.
