I bet they don't even have security clearances.

Every day it's a new little slice from the Pie of Absurdity.

I'm full. I don't want anymore. Thank you.

The striking prisoners would be great candidates for a "Cool Hand Luke" chain gang with their compassionate warden.

It’s bad to put people in prison.

Prison is cruel and unusual.

They also want a ban on all life sentences or virtual life sentences (50 years or more).

They can frick right off.

Capital Punishment would fix that for them.

What about them being separated from their kids?

Start taking away any benefits the strikers have if they aren’t doing their prison industry jobs.


At Angola that could be as simple as withholding participation in the rodeo and craft fairs from them.

Time to go old school... cut their f*cking hands off for stealing! They damn sure won't have to worry about working anymore.

Dumbasses clueless about the 13th Amendment.

Emphasis added

That's actually not a bad idea. If a 20 year old commits murder and gets life, in 50 years he will be 70.
The probability of a 70 released murderer committing another murder is near zero.
However, prisoners over 70 become very expensive to the state for medical care. Prison is not a healthy place so if they make it to 70 they've got all kinds of chronic problems.

The prisoners insist that their self-imposed separation from any of their offspring is maintained.

Screw their demands but I think it'd be interesting to put a percent of their "wages" in an account for them to receive when and if they get out, hold a job and stay out of trouble with the law. I wonder if it would incentivize good behavior.

If LWOP or “virtual life” goes, the death penalty should get an express lane added.

Strike from what? They're not showing up in the yard until demands are met?
