what do u all think about prison...????
do u think it really deters people, or is a good punishment for the crime?
If they treating it like prison instead of a country club it would be a good deterrent. For now it's just a way to get perps out of society for a while.
Punishment should have far more restitution involved in addition to the incarceration. For most perps prison has almost no rehabilitative function (At least as far as I've ever seen. But then I don't have the data on this facet of it)
yes, i agree w/you on it there.......having a person locked up in a cell 22 hours a day, doesnt do anything for him/her while they are in there.
i'm sorry......am i supposed to care if it does anything for them? i seriously believe prison is to be a punishment. always has been...always should be!!! and my tax dollars are wasted they way things are now. i think 22 hrs in a cell is 2 hrs too short for most of them.

I am back.
I have a detached garage that has a bay for a car and one for a boat (which I don't have) and two separate work areas.

Yeah, it should be a punishment. But, unless they're in for life, they're gonna get out and be back on the street. With no rehabilitation, you're more likely gonna get an embittered criminal who learned to be more vicious than someone who figures he payed his debt to society and wants to go straight.
Of course, Skreyola has it right - a person has to want to change for the better. But prison ministries are a big help, and the stats clearly show they reduce recidivism. But as Skrey pointed out, they keep getting kicked out in the name of "Separation of Church & State".
And don't forget, God gave us a second chance through Christ...

I respond as I read. Sometimes people have beaten me to the reply, but I don't see that until I've already posted.
It was a thoughtful response. Thank you.

Where are you going?
I've got to go to sleep now, so hopefully you'll post an answer that I'll be able to read in the morning. (Okay, I can read in the morning as well as throughout the day and evening, and you're more than capable of writing coherently...I'm tired!)
Be safe! Have fun!
Dorme bien!

I'm willing to trade if you'll clean mine.
I three need to clean my bathroom.
I did a major scrubdown on mine 2 weeks ago, so it's not too bad! *grins*
We won't talk about my bedroom, though...
