They're some of the most heavily controlled and policed locations on the face of this planet, yet drugs and weapons flow freely. This would be reduced if all prisoners were permanently in solitary confinement, no? Gang activity isn’t permitted. It is there. Humans do that shit. Especially the type you’ll find locked up in a facility. They are also able to get people you wouldn’t suspect to assist them. You know brings in the majority of the contraband? The staff. You know how information gets around? The staff. You know why you can’t lock down the entire population and snuff out 100% of the bullshit? The staff. Then lock up the staff too. Well shit. You’re a God damn genius Gump! It doesn't seem like rocket science to me. You seem to know that the staff are facilitating crime. Why does the system permit them to do that? I tell you what… Get yourself a job in corrections investigating these things and when you get some experience you can reflect on the issue with the insight you need.

Quoted: Yep. I don't understand why we permit blatant gang activity to take place inside prisons. The doors close, and a slot opens three times a day for bland, nutritious food. Your sentence is up, you get walked to the gates. Why is it more complicated than that? View Quote Former Correctional Officer here. Here is the answer to this. The public doesn’t see the value in staffing a prison with enough Officers to prevent gang activity. Just look at the political signs placed at your intersections during local elections. Government and the public are busy licking the funding boot of police officers while ignoring Correctional facilities. Correctional facilities are dilapidated while being permanently understaffed and abused by their own government/employer. Nothing more than Out of site out of mind. That’s what the public AND government wants with Corrections. One Officer to 125 inmates will do nothing more than keep them fed and prevent them from escaping. This this the reality of Correctional work that is enabled yet completely unnoticed by the public. |

I can confirm that staff brings in all the contraband. The two years I worked in a jail, they fired three people out of a staff of about 30. Inmates knew shit about officers personal life that could only come from officers. I left corrections because of my coworkers. They caught three, I knew two people were bringing shit in, and inmates were told about personal information from officers.
I began to trust inmates more than my coworkers, and I had good reason. The officers were the biggest bunch of scumbags I've ever seen, just like the inmates. |

Quoted: It won't be enough, we only got two books a week in jail. And I'm a fast reader and could read through Red Storm Rising in less than a day, ended up having to trade most of my food to the other inmates to get me books to read. The only thing that can keep you sane is by having a really good imagination to live out your memories in your head, I spent many many hours imagining I was still shitposting on the internet and making a list of topic thread ideas to make once I got out. View Quote Certain life experiences through childhood (poverty, lack of stimuli, domineering parent) can develop traits (introversion, acceptance, determination) needed to cope with - or actually enjoy - solitary. Having a quiet mind, being comfortable in your own skin, and having a rock solid reason to be "in there" rather than "out there" would go a long way towards that. Also agree that 99% of people vastly overestimate their ability to deal with solitary. |

Quoted: You'd be wrong....It's not like getting to spend time alone to catch up on reading...There's no TV...very little time for rec....It stinks..other inmates are yelling, screaming..you can't see anything that's going on, your social interaction consists of being fed through a slot in the door and having a flashlight shined in your face every 30 minutes, day or night..you have one sheet, and one blanket...no pillow...Your concept of time is all fucked up...It is a complete mind fuck...you'll pace the floor in your cell for hours....lay down and sleep....and repeat the process over and over....hypersomnolence and insomnia are both very possible....you don't even have control over whether or not your lights are on in the cell.....you absolutely WILL be psychologically damaged...these dudes spend weeks/months or years locked up like this for one reason or another and they just can't function any other way....Their letters out and phone calls are usually incoherent rambling....the shit is wild....so no.....you wouldn't like it, you would far prefer the company of other inmates....and you would quickly give up giving a shit why they were there View Quote Sounds like a pretty good reason not to be a shitbag and go to jail. |

Quoted: fuck no, it's like being in an overcrowded aquarium full of hungry fish that keep on nipping on each other. I got to see first hand how that worked, the strongest inmates would bully and wear the weakest ones slowly but surely. I was lucky I wasn't, the poor bastard that got the brunt of the bullying was in jail just because he couldn't pay child support. They'd take his food, fuck with him while sleeping and make thinly veiled threats of rape. And if you try to fight back they'd just beat the shit out of you, saw that happen with a new guy who got his jaw broken only two days after. The guys that attack you won't give a shit if they get their sentences extended for attacking you because it earns them more respect from the other bullies. Fuck that, solitary might be shitty for different reasons but at least you won't have to worry about someone attacking you anymore.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I think what's more fucked is that one quarter of the world's prisoners are in the US. You start looking at lists of nations sorted by incarceration rates and we're in some pretty unfavorable company. Quoted: Yep. I don't understand why we permit blatant gang activity to take place inside prisons. The doors close, and a slot opens three times a day for bland, nutritious food. Your sentence is up, you get walked to the gates. Why is it more complicated than that? your first statement answered your question....Do you have any idea what it would take for the entire inmate population to be locked down 24/7? I do, because it happened at the beginning of this covid bullshit.....hand feeding inmates at their doors for every meal...extra staff to bag meals since the inmates that cook can't come out...and that's just one simple issue....the funding and staff just doesn't exist for anything resembling that....and then there's the politicians, lawyers, and judges By all means, educate me. As far as I can tell you'd only need a fraction of the guards if all prisoners are behind bars at all times. You're telling me that reassigning some of the guards to be meal cart operators would be a bridge too far? You have any idea of the workforce needed to cook 8000 meals a day ? Why would more meals need to be cooked? Do they not get 3 meals a day as it stands now? They are getting 3 a day because the inmates are not locked down and doing the food prep. If they were kept in lockdown as you think they should be that's 8000 meals that won't be cooking themselves. Understand now ? Fine, hire more cooks. You're acting like this is some insurmountable barrier. Do you have a couple million in the budget for that or do you use labor you're already paying for ? You're saying a couple million is all that stands in the way between rampant gang activity inside prisons and locking down prisoners entirely? Yeah, I think I can find a couple million to make that work. The majority of the working inmates are not your problem children. You can't see the cornstalk for the cornfield. Bust out the numbers then. What would it cost, per inmate, to replace his labor with minimum wage outside employment? You keep talking as if this prisoner labor is such a strategic resource. In that case, why not imprison even more people, for even more free labor? |

You're saying a couple million is all that stands in the way between rampant gang activity inside prisons and locking down prisoners entirely? Yeah, I think I can find a couple million to make that work. View Quote I know some "Muh Justice" folks don't care to hear it, but the vast majority of inmates aren't considerably different than the vast majority of folks on the outside. Locking folks down for the entirety of their stay, offering no social interaction, no substance abuse treatment programs, no mental health treatment is far worse for society than the alternative. Maybe, just maybe, we have too many folks going to prison in the first place...and once they are a felon, there is little likelihood of a successful adult life. The system perpetuates the system. |
