WHY DID THE METEOROLOGIST GO AWAY?!?!

Asked by UH OH UH OH UH OH over 5 years ago

I suggest you ask him/her/it directly.

Do inmates do nasty things to the food when they work behind the counter serving food?

Asked by Martian over 5 years ago

Not usually. Inmates have to eat the food. Somebody would snitch. Somebody would get thumped.

What all have the liberals screwed up in prison and justice systems do you think? Or do you think it helps? Also did you work with males, females, or coed mainly?

Asked by San over 5 years ago

I worked in an exclusively male facility. Some of the "liberal" notions have been long-term helpful, some not. The idea of forced integration of cells is stupid, it is an idea pushed by people who have never worked inside a prison. I am also bothered by some of the issues with medical care. Spending $1.2 million for a heart transplant for a death row inmate is IMHO stupid. Also, forcing the state to buy name brand (rather than generic) drugs for prisoners is a significant cost for no good purpose. It is still too early to sell what issues gender identification / gender identity may bring to the system. It was of course easier in "the old days" when prisoners had zero rights and the courts did not stick their noses into prison operations. Easier was not necessarily better however.

I can’t that’s the point. I can’t ask any questions it says he’s away. You try it.

Asked by Malcom about 5 years ago
