    The crime that they committed was very likely far worse. Poision is kind of supposed to be punishment.

    and no lol poison is not a punishment it is a choice of someone who is carless and wreckless because they feel like they have power just because they can lock someone away lol no your far wrong from appropriate answer for this

    I meant prison. That was an iPhone error. We have to have the means to punish those that have committed crimes against others, are a danger to the general population of the prison, or are uncooperative with the guards. They are not exactly there for being nice and respectful of others.

    Thank-you! Their there for a reason, and yes there are some who are actually innocent, but most are guilty! So if they do the crime, they don't need to start crying when it's time to do the time

    hmm,, they can not act / behave correctly to live in a free society ,
    so we lock em up in jail

    so , they can not even act / behave correctly to live in general population in jail

    some are just unable to behave , even in jail...

    solitary is kind , IMO, to some ...

    true on some parts but to most no because i have spent alot of time in S.C and it is not a place for an angry mind to be just leaves blank thoughts and plotting
  • Patric Sephiroth 2012/09/25 17:15:14
    Patric
    then,,,, do what you are supposed to do,, act as you are told to act,

    and then,,, the problem ( unacceptable behavior ) goes away, SC goes away, jail goes away..

    not that difficult ,, act like a civilized human being ..

    So what would you suggest? Allowing someone to do as they please because they consider themselves angry. Nope we all have a right to live and express our selves anyway we choose it's when our choices go from personal choice to criminal the problem comes in. I truly believe that criminals would not want the same crime(s) they committed on others committed on themselves or their family members. And if a person is so angry tha they can not live within a normal society then prison is the best place for them. If that means they have to be placed in solitary confinement to learn how to live among others than SO BE IT!

    I really don't think that confinement is wrong. But the question didn't say for how long and I wouldn't answer an open ended question.

    For a day or two, it's probably not harmful. But for long periods, like 30 days, I couldn't do that to anybody.

    Some people are not fit for any society. Why do so many people want to treat criminals better than law abiding citizens? Screw 'em
  • Sephiroth john Kills 2012/09/24 16:22:49
    Sephiroth
    because most law abiding citizens are in worse care then most in jail. basic civilization would do more wrong than a person who has been in jail and has realized what they did wrong. and it does not make any sense to lock someone away for days without social interaction and would not help the person insight on what they did wrong so by you saying that what makes you any better than someone who killed they're family and got locked up. even though most do not even know the mental capacity his mind thinks at and you dont know the things people have been through so therefore you are very wrong
  • ms jones Sephiroth 2012/09/26 19:15:56
    ms jones
    Ok, so I had a rough childhood that gives me the right to blame and take my anger out on others who had nothing to do with that? I think not! No matter what a person has been through at a certain point/age in life everyone learns/knows right from wrong and should be held accountable for their actions.

    Did you choose your name. Kills is a very old name [...] Some people are very aggressive and endanger other prisoners. So you are wrong. Before you run off your mouth, you should think things through as you obviously didn't this time. Get over your victim mentality. I won't feel sorry for you.
  • Sephiroth john Kills 2012/09/24 17:46:34

    dude i know how it is in a jail cell and i've spent 3 years of my life in one so please before you run your mouth off think about what we as inmates/convicts lived through and yes some people are violent but its also because of what goes on in the outter life because we cant see what are wifes or gf's are doing we sit in a cell and think about way too much and you think just because your on a website that talks about different things you think you know more about this stuff than i do i have been going through this stuff for about 7 years of my life so i do i know exactly how this stuff goes so stop talkin your ish and find another subject to opinionize and plus they are only opinions so dont take it up the rear end there buddy......

    It's a reprieve from anal sex. With that said, they need to crack down on dangerous behavior in prision. These are all criminals and punishment should be severe when they commit crimes in prision.

    Both. If a person exhibits violent behavior, he/she needs to be removed from society - including prison society (as a protection to others). If, and when the prisoner learns that violent behavior results in social deprivation, and begins to act accordingly, then they can re-join the rest of society.

    This is Prison, not just a jailhouse. "The Hole", as they call Solitary Confinement, is meant to be a strong deterrent against committing crimes while serving the time. If you don't want to serve the time, then don't commit the crime.

    Even in America, where the incarceration rate is five to ten times higher than in other Western democracies, most inmates eventually leave their prison, and you don't want them to be even more mentally unstable than before.
    Of course, some violent inmates need to be in isolation.

    prisoners need to be punished but they also need help to be better people. its no good if they just keep going back into jail, which happens to most prisoners

    Only in cases where the inmate is a threat to others, or themselves. Not for long periods of time unless there's no choice, due to aggressive behaviors.
