I don't think it's just to have people "punished" by living in those conditions. I don't think the living quarters are the reason why they have better systems, but if they were, I wouldn't care. I'm not paying for a criminal to have nicer quarters than me, it's as simple as that--it's not right.[/quote:d4bbd]
It is about rehabilitation. Not Punishment. If you throw someone into an enviroment like San.Q, What do you get in return ? Someone worse ! Who will leave the system, and re-offend.(This in return costs you more money) NOW this luxury prison is not the solution here in North America, but it is an example we should look apon to slowly change it here, and develope it into a state where this could be acceptable.[/quote:d4bbd]
That was the first semi-not biased post I've ever read from you.
Good point, but I'd imagine the cultural differences in Austria are a lot less than the cultural, social, and lingual differences in America. It's called a melting pot for a reason, and people are still not over the fact that they're different from everybody else, so there's still a lot of hate floating around. Some.... a lot of people in America are pretty fucked in the head and the only way to make them not want to go back to prison sometimes is to have them leave with an asshole they can fit a watermelon into.
We do have minimum security prisons aswell here too, that are light and breezy on the inmates, it's not like they're all Federal "fuck you in the ass" prisions. /office space
