Removing cell doors in Maximum Security Federal Pens.......Inhumane??

In an effort to make jail actually fearsome in the minds of potential criminals, possibly scaring them into not committing severe crimes (murder, rape, etc), why not just make all big bad prions/institutions into places that only "keep em in" the walls and provide food/bed, but offer no security and no punishment for those who kill in jail. Once youre in....every man for himself.

Prison colonies. Let them fend for themselves and tax payers just pay for the fence.

That sounds like things could get out of control quickly and would be extremely unsafe for the guards.

Basically, but I'd give them food from a secured portal, that's it.

You haven't seen the "fence" I have in mind, and the weapons the guards have
You don't use prison guards anymore, it'll be soldiers with machine guns

Keep them on the outside, just to shoot anyone who might try to escape and make it to the outside.

do you think criminals actually weigh the consequences of their actions??
You can get 10 years in jail for robbing a convenience stores with a gun for a couple hundred bucks in cash.

Pretty horrible idea. Just breed violent sociopaths you can never release. Bit too extreme when over half the prison population is in for non violent drug convictions. Might as well execute every law breaker with this logic..
Not to hijack.. but since Alcatraz, why haven't they tried the remote island prison idea again?

These threads remind me that our founders were geniuses in creating our Constitution. It's dysfunctional, but it keeps our baser instincts at least somewhat in check. Our human nature is clearly no better than that of people in the worst third world shithole, and we would quickly devolve into one if left to our own devices.

Once they hear that cousin Eddie got disemboweled in prison when he only went in for grand larceny they'll think twice....

Louisiana State Pen was like that in the 70s. They could tell what kinda night they had the next morning by how much blood was on the floors.

Well you said there would be no punishment for those who kill in jail, and I was just thinking well someone (guards) has to go in there to collect the dead bodies.

Once you commit a felony you forfeit your protection in my mind, not your life, but your protection

i believe Angola used to be somewhat of a "prison colony". grew their own food, cleared land, etc. Then the ACLU got involved and said that it was inhumane to make prisoners do that.

When you say "criminals", you really mean "black people", don't you?
