The Eighth Amendment.
So all farmers in the U.S. are subjected to cruel and unusual punishment?

Now if the Angola criminals were forced to work on the farm while nude or while guards beat them with chains, there may be an 8th Amendment argument. But just working isn't cruel nor unusual.

Do you even actually think about what you're posting?

...and also because the government tells them that everyone in Angola is guilty.

There are ALL KINDS of ways to get into Angola, not all of which require committing a felony.

What percentage do you think are fully innocent?

What “all kinds of ways” does one find oneself in Angola? Are these people not getting trials?

But more to OP...frick 'em...23 hours a day in a cell...1 hour a day in the yard.

Within a week most would be asking to work.

Get a trial?



This guy got a trial:



...and was even found guilty. What does that mean? The criminal justice system is perfect?

There even all kinds of ways to be convicted of a felony when someone didn’t actually commit one too. The primary way: being poor.

it’s shocking how trusting these small government conservatives are that the government acts with integrity when arresting, charging and prosecuting their fellow citizens. Except for Donald Trump, of course. The government screwed the wealthy white man over but not anyone else.

Read the whole post, answer the questions, and there is (probably) your answer.

Because not all crimes inflict the same damage to society. This discussion has sailed over your head. As usual.

Very very simple.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.


Also, there's an easy solution if they aren't already doing it: If you don't like it you can stay in your cell.
