Inmates bitching that prison sucks for a couple hours. Sounds great. I tried to watch some but it was awful.

They shouldn’t be in there anyway, they are innocent.

It was crazy when the roommate of the guy that had been beaten to death was found dead less than a month before his release. I believe they said he was bleeding from several orifices (including the rectum) and they ruled his death natural. That was after he essentially said he'd tell the truth about what the guards did when he got out of prison.

It’s far more than that. Guards are outright murdering people and getting away with it because ADOC covers it up, and because people view prisoners as subhuman.

I’m pretty conservative and in favor of heavy sentencing for repeat offenders, but I will never agree to the premise that it’s ok to murder inmates and treat them like animals “because they deserve it”.

Heavy sentences is fine for repeat offenders and those that have committed heinous crimes.

Solitary confinement for speaking out against a guard outright committing murder and having to live among rats (he caught 11 in one night in water bottles) is not ok.

The amount of drugs flowing through prisons is not ok.

The vast majority of prisons do not even attempt to rehabilitate prisoners. Because there’s no money in that. Our prison system thrives on repeat offenders. It’s a backwards system.

The prison business is BIG business here in Alabama. Just look at the billion dollar Mee Maw prison that she allowed.

Because PRISON ain’t about rehabilitation, it’s about PUNiSHMENT.
Chain gangs, make big rocks smaller, field work, F’er should be too tired to get into trouble inside and fear going back.

Many other parts of the world manage to rehabilitate non violent criminals and certainly they don’t outright murder them.

I can only assume you have not watched this documentary. The issue specifically here is guards killing inmates with impunity. It incentivizes sociopaths to take the job as a prison guard, which is exactly what’s happened.

If you still think that is OK, then no need to discuss further, as we are wired differently
