    Putting things into even more perspective....and I did read the other articles on the links. The conditions that are complained about are far...far superior to those living in a 3rd world country.

    Imagine for a moment......a child or a young boy from Africa whose parents have died.....lives in a mud hut.......a mud floor.......eats once a day....if lucky........and may have to trek miles to get that one feed a day. Water is a gift as opposed to a given.

    Now lets look at this situation. A man has committed a crime against society...could be rape/murder/armed robbery....he is supplied with a roof over his head.....food in his stomach....water to drink......protection from mother natures elements. Not only that has access to other little luxuries.

    The incredible difference between these two scenarios............is that there will be those that would sympathise with the latter and the former wouldn't even get a thought. I wish there was more Sheriff Joe in these sort of places and less bleeding heart and civil liberty,

    Regards

    On the other hand when it comes to state and federal prisons with whole-of-life inmates the recidivism rates are irrelevant.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I have no problem with prisoners working to cover their upkeep, especially if they are taught skills they can use later. However this Joe guy seems focused on publicity stunts and the his bottom line, rather than reducing recidivism in criminals. This IMHO, is a problem in the US system where many such officials are elected, and they can remain popular by being seen to be tough on criminals.

    However the most concerning thing is he seems to have condoned/covered up the beatings and deaths of inmates convicted of extremely minor offences like shoplifting. Seems like someone who has been given too much power and has become corrupt to me.

    To end up in any prison "someone" didn't give a stuff about ME or SOMEONE like me.

    Why should I give a stuff about them ???

    At some point "they" made a decision, that decision "they" made went against me or someone like me.

    Don't give me all that bleeding heart crap about "society's fault","hard life","broken home" etc etc.

    "They" made the decision to do whatever they did.

    Time to take full responsibility for the decision "they" made ! ! !

    I like Sheriff Joe's approach.
