Cruel confinement in Alabama prisons

The report includes tales of infected face wounds, amputated toes and feet, gangrenous testicles treated only with ice. They cite the story of a prisoner who complained after surgery that he was bleeding from his rectum. Staff twice gave him new pants after bled through his own, but gave him no treatment other than an antacid. He also died, according to today's report.
How much should tax payers pay to keep felons healthy when they are poison to society. How many rights should a prisoner have? I agree with not tending to basic health concerns but prison isn't supposed to be a walk in the park.
What is your stance on this?

It's disgusting. Hinds County jails are under investigation for not protecting inmates from violence and sexual assault. The state of our prisons and jails is inhumane in many parts of the southeast.

Uhhh....I can see how having amputees performing medical procedures could be a problem

Prison is for punishment and rehabilitation for 95% of prisoners. This does no good to increase the chances of them being productive when they get out, and its just inhumane.

I don't care. Stay out of trouble and you won't have to worry about this happening to you. These people made a choice to do what they did to be in there.

1)Prisons SHOULD suck. If you ever are in one and then get released, it should've sucked so bad that you'd rather cut your dick off than rape again. Shoot yourself than murder again. Etc.
BUT
2)We put too fricking many people in prison for lame assed shite.

Is this the thread where the tough on crime crowd comes out to voice their approval of the harsh, punitive system of the most advanced nation ever?
You know, the one with the most prisoners in the history of modern civilization in a country where property and violent crime has been dropping for years? The one with almost a million employees and a domestic economic output approaching $100 billion?

Being confined in Alabama is cruel enough.
