Thanks for catching a few of closed facilities Reba. I had no idea, seemed safe enough to believe the link since what harm could come out from some addresses, and took the risk of posting a Wiki link.
Back about the prisoners. It seems that a lot of us are very contradicted and confused in our opinions. See this:
We want more jails to hold for all the people who perform acts of misconduct.
But we fail to rationalize that creating more jails leads to public insecurity.
We want maximum detention for inmates and let them think about the penalties they've done in life.
What about killing them? Why are some of us against the death sentence?
What about innocent charged guilty? We can really contradict our original intentions.
A basic jail cell should consist of brick, mortar, metal bars, a toilet and a sink.
Some prisoners deserve a little better in life. What are they supposed to do, sit there and think all day until they go insane?
Medical Psychiatrist steps in with some findings. Say randomly, "study finds that inmates tend to not realize their mistakes if they are confined to themselves for long periods of time."
Officers are really harsh in jail! You see the footage of them beating on inmates with those batons!?
He deserved that. That's what he got for going to jail.
This list could go on.. and I've yet to observe much of this being taken seriously in the American public. Only the extremists on both sides have gotten their views solid. It's either maximum penalty for them or maximum freedom.
The rest of us shouldn't be so far as to incline towards one side for one specific inmate, and sway to another side for a statement for another person.
Like specific examples of people:
If say I went to jail for some reason, let's say account of first degree murder.
There will be a lot of people who see I ought to deserve this and spend my life in jail.
There will be people who know me and said despite what I did, I used to be a honest person with proof to back it up, and this act shouldn't reflect the outcome of my life.
There will be people wanting me in maximum confinement, especially those of immediate relation to the person I murdered.
There will be yet the others to see that group's opinion as too harsh and say I should be given more freedom.
All in all jail's a very flaky concept...
