re: Do Children Have a “Right to Hug” Their Parents?

So, this trustworthy, completely innocent person that got arrested, doesn't know anyone that owns property, who trusts them, that will sign a property bond?
It doesn't cost anything, as long as the accused shows up for trial.

I wonder if theres a connection between an agency/company that makes money off of the number of inmates incarcerated and the likelihood that local LEO keep that jail populated.

It wouldn’t exist but for criminals.

It would go away as soon as they do.

The older I get, the more cynical...so there's that , but with that age , I have been in the midst of bureaucracy and separately have seen people pretty much rationalize anything...so I don't know that it would go away

Do you assume everyone else who has been arrested also has a baggie of fentanyl up their asses?

Does that change that people are being financially exploited to “visit” their loved ones?

What do you mean? That instead of focusing on corrupt jail policies people should only focus on…what? Punishing people who have been accused of crimes?

I've already explained where the root cause lies, how the phone issue is a symptom instead of a cause and how the very nature of that precludes fixing the underlying issue.

But then again, that's a bit too deep for you to understand as you "don't care why something happens" and that reasoning is why those things you focus on will never get fixed.

Is that why you focus on symptoms rather than root causes? Because you just want to fuel for your continual moral outrage machine? Or is it because you truly aren't bright enough to look beyond the seemingly easily-resolved symptoms to come up with solutions to the far more complex root causes?

Making a title like this

Do Children Have a “Right to Hug” Their Parents?

to complain about a system used for visitation of prisoners is more than a little disingenuous

Do Criminal kids in jail have a “Right to Hug” Their Parents?

fixed your title

and no, if you are in jail, there is no justified reason for any form of physical contact from anyone, even parents

God dam every day.

Not everyone assumes everyone who has been arrested is guilty, bud.

I assume you feel the same way about teh J6ers who have been arrested? Courts are supposed to operate on the presumption of innocence in this country, according to the Supreme Court, whether you like it or not.

If you say so.

I'm just paraphrasing what you've said.

quote:

No one cares why someone is making the public unsafe. It shouldn’t happen.

This happens because incarcerated people are probably the most marginalized group in America.

---

No, it's just the most marginalized group in this conversation. That's the way it works for those beating their chests and gnashing their teeth over the bright and sparkly distractions of "marginalized groups". Whatever group is the topic at that moment is the "most marginalized group in America".

I have a history of posting articles about corruption in the carceral system. I’m not sure why you’re so upset that you feel the need to post emotional insults instead of discussing the topic, but I don’t really care to engage in a petty fight in this thread.

---

You have a history of being distracted by symptoms over root causes, again, because you don't care why something happens.

Those questions weren't attacks nor emotional insults, they were genuinely honest questions aimed at hoping you reflect deeper than surface-level distractions. Instead of taking such an opportunity, you danced away from it.

You're implying that because I believe an impenetrable wall of ladders and tables poses a threat to public safety that should be addressed by police... what now? I'm trying to follow and keep going back to our previous exchanges in this thread but I'm having a difficult time connected the two situations. My belief that police should address the wall of ladders at parades means that I shouldn't care about the exploitation of inmates? Can you spell out how these two ideas are connected?

Ok. I have a history of posting threads like this that spotlight corruption in our carceral system, but you obviously are free to say whatever you want.

I've already told you why it happens. It's impossible to separate the "why" from the actual events. This doesn't happen in schools when a school nurse calls a parent to pick up a sick kid. Society would never allow that.

quote:

Those questions weren't attacks nor emotional insults

Asking someone if they aren't bright enough to understand something is generally considered insulting, since it looks like you didn't know that.
