Federal Supermax in Florence Colorado. Could you hack it? Is this really better than the death penalty? I don't see it. Shouldn't they at least have the option of suicide?

Not me.

Twenty-three hours a day in that thing; one out for exercise in a cage. People come out seriously damaged.

Sounds like torture to me.

I'm interested in natural law and a speedy execution for villains. Circular firing squads are interesting also. Afterwards. Removing all violent men from the gene pool is a absolute necessity in the era of atomic biscuits. :tea:

I'd vote for that before a south American prison where everyone is stacked on top of each other. It would drive me nuts, I'm sure, but maybe if they allow books and writing materials, the time could be spent doing something.

I would think that technology could be brought to bear to design a monitoring system that would make prisons almost obsolete.

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Yea, for the time of The Great Eye In The Sky is coming. And lo, all creatures shall live in peaceful communion with each other, and all men will stay their hand from wrong lest they be struck down where they stand.

Yeah, that's a recipe for murder. If those conditions are permanent and not just part of processing, then I'd say it's perfectly reasonable to kill at least one or two people just for some elbow room.

Not permanent. Aids would run rife in that situation.
