re: Costs of the new prison sentence legislation in LA

My thought is there is a cost to crime. There is a societal incentive to limit it. Perhaps the solution is some sort of severe corporal punishment (caning, etc) combined with abbreviated sentences?

---

I would imagine most people would actually support this in favor of increased incarcerations, which has been proven for decades to be ineffective (just look at recidivism rates).

I haven't searched for it, but I vaguely recall a study or article by a prison abilitionist that did advocate for this and demonstrated that corporal punishment like caning did lead to an decrease in crime.

Curious how much is made off of commissary, phones, and email?

Who gets that money?

There are SO many scandals about this!

Wait, noting that our resident autist, SroFroPedo, has posted in this thread is a fart joke? Hunny, he really did post here. There wasn't no jokes being said. You can literally look at the post I replied to and see it is axchually him


Also I support your premise of speedrolling executions in order to get these animals off of our tax dollars. You're spot on with this.

Now, the daily reimbursement rate for state inmates is $107. The annual cost of incarcerating one person is $39,274. We currently have more than 28,300 people in prisons across the state.

What a deal. So it is only costing $4.48 an hour to babysit and feed them. Now look at how much money is being paid by the prisoners to use the phones.

Somehow Jeff Landry wants MORE incarceration in this state, can’t make this shite up.

Have you looked up Louisiana's rankings with regard to violent crime, murder, the numbers of criminals free to commit crimes with long criminal histories, over the last few decades? Louisiana needs more incarceration. There's a reason Louisiana's incarceration rate has been so high for years now... and contrary to what you and your fellow libs believe about "muh The New Jim Crow," and "racism," the numbers are completely warranted. And they should be higher. Louisiana needs to be utilizing the death penalty frequently too.

Employment is the single biggest factor impacting recidivism. If someone is able to find work, they stay out of jail.

Such bullshite. You have to WANT to work. The problem is many of these dirt bag pieces of shite don't WANT to work. Or they think they should be be doing some shite job but making $30/hr... or should make as much as they can make selling drugs, robbing, burglarizing etc. Well, sorry. That's now how the real world works. No one is forcing them to be criminals. You make shitty choices, you pay the consequences. Deal with it.

Costs must be reduced. Prisoners at Angola used to grow their own food. Do they still do this ?
Angola is huge, there is no reason that they could not raise cattle, chickens and pigs. In addition they could grow beans .
They could use the cow hides to make their own shoes.
They could also learn how to build their own housing.

It is anecdotally shown to increase the chances that a child will resist any instruction they don’t want to deal with and act as if they are being persecuted for being asked to follow rules or the law.


IOW, it seriously raises the chances of having an antisocial individual who thinks they can do whatever they want and blames “the man” when they finally get told “no” by the cops and the courts.
