Anonymous Coward User ID: 18367987 United States 07/03/2012 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's as absurd as the pending court cases from inmates for prisons that don't have air conditioning: "Over time, the luxuries of the rich become the necessities the incarcerated. People can now argue with a straight face that it is cruel and unusual punishment to deprive someone of their right to stay cool." It's laughable . . . but not. |

justmeoneofmany User ID: 1305840 United States 07/03/2012 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most people imagine prison life for convicted murderers as being harsh, brutal, and isolated, a real-life "Shawshank Redemption." Quoting: Debauchery So when convicted killer Danny Robbie Hembree Jr., 50, wrote a letter in January to the Gaston Gazette in North Carolina, gloating about his comfortable life on death row, it got plenty of attention. "Is the public aware that I am a gentleman of leisure, watching color TV in the A.C., reading, taking naps at will, eating three, well-balanced, hot meals a day," Hembree wrote. Critics say too often, at prisons across the country, convicted killers pass the time playing dominos and basketball, use well-stocked commissaries selling snacks and sodas, and enjoy state-of-the-art gyms, or time in the arts and crafts room. Robert Blecker, a New York Law School professor and pro-death-penalty advocate, has spent the past 25 years documenting his provocative and controversial view, that life inside state penitentiaries and maximum-security prisons can actually be an undeservedly pleasant experience for convicted killers. "They're playing on softball fields with lined base paths and umpires in uniforms, while other guys are hanging out, getting a suntan," Blecker said. "Those who committed the worst crimes, who deserve to suffer the most, generally suffer the least." Blecker, who is producing a documentary and writing a book about the issue, said most Americans are clueless about the reality of prison life. He said prison life can be so comfortable that some convicts claim to have killed just to get put away, like Robert Pitts of Woodbury, Tenn., who was convicted of first-degree murder after beating a 63-year-old grandmother to death with a lead pipe. "I can play pool or basketball," Pitts told Blecker, who interviewed him for his upcoming documentary. "Softball when it's softball season. Run, you can go out and jog, lift weights, play cards." [link to abcnews.go.com] Well I have told you all that the revealing will happen and then all governors changed will begin the process of seating the councils. they will take these people to their rightful place..the 2th death. These evil people get to live on more then thirty thousand dollars a year or more The disabled and elderly live on less then 15 thousand a year. They have paid into the system all their life's and now live below the poverty level. The time for the revealing is soon and then all these evil talking monkeys will get the big send off for good..All you who are living on SSI or SSA we will be your knew governors and make sure you are taken care of. We will not allow any of these animals to live. to. I know a lady who works for the prisons and she is so pissed at how they act and what they get to do inside the walls. they get all the best meds,eye glasses and pampered and treated like they deserve the world. TVs.Drugs,sex, Ganges and every other thing that they shouldn't get. They are still evil inside and control a lot of people on the outside. They will be destroyed for their evils against people and children...To let these evil animals live like this and then to have the disabled and elderly live in poverty is going to be stopped.. I am the seventh Son of Enki...Shit is going to be hitting the fan very soon in the revealing |

They commit horrific crimes and instead of being properly punished and having all of the little luxuries taken away they are given whatever is needed to calm them, they're still fucking the system. They run you, they own you, when it should be the other way around. Norway has a wonderfully luxurious prison, Halden prison, with a fucking sound studio. They even hired a graffiti artist to paint murals all over the place with a price tag of $1 mil. They have private bathrooms and flat screen tv's. How ridiculous can you get? I want to go there. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |
