But, you know, once he's convicted, there's no reason to be upset about any violence he faces in prison.  JUSTICE EVERYBODY!

If there's one thing that really makes me believe that humanity is rotten to the core, it's the idea that prison violence, even sexual violence, is A-OK.  If you really feel that way, why not just kill them?  Or are we deep inside just a race of torturers?  Probably.  That's why I get weird looks when I say offenders of this nature should just be executed.  Well, then, quit being hypocrites about it and just have a GS-7 whose job it is to cornhole convicts, if you feel so strongly about man-on-man surprise sex.

Indeed.  Prison is supposed to be a controlled environment.  If prisoners are just going to be allowed to run wild, then just throw them onto an island penal colony with Ray Liotta.

The opening scene during the credits of that movie was the best part of that turd.  Talk about breaking rank like a motherfucker.

I don't think most people think prison violence is A-OK.  But it seems the only way to guarantee zero prison violence is to put every inmate in a supermax.

The idea that criminal punishes should just be locking someone in a cage for a number of years and then simply releasing them is only a couple hundred years old.  And also not particularly effective.

The only problem is, all the other historical punishments have been outlawed as inhumane.  And there aren't really any good viable alternatives.

I liked that Norwegian Star Trek prison.

Does it come complete with holodeck?

After you get good and lickered up are you going to beat a drum outside and sing "Croppies Lie Down?"

The douchebag's not telling you the shirt has "Bengals" on it.

We'll see. Not as many IRA sympathizing shitheads here in Cincy as there were when I lived on the east coast.  So usually when I go out here my wearing orange doesn't generate as much conversation & I leave it at that.

Yeah, that probably happens all the time with Bengals apparel.
