Do criminals have it too easy in prison?

Here where i live, criminals have tv, internet, pc. They can do free education and have good cells to be in. Are we too nice to criminals today, or are we helping them for a second chance when they get out?

as long as criminals aren't on the street, im ok with it.

Prison is a hard place to live in i think. And not that nice.

Think prison in Thailand they dont have any beds they sleep on the ground.

I do not think that prison is a good place to be.quiglythegreat

Prison is not meant to be a punishment, but a rehabilitation centre. Having access to television and internet is a little much to be honest. Criminals aren't put in jail to be "punished," but to be given the idea that what they did was wrong, and to turn them into productive members of society. You can't do that unless you give them access to some resources that allow them to learn new skills and grow as individuals.

I'd get rid of the Internet, but otherwise I don't think your system is that lenient. Prisoners need an education too, and it's not like they can make any college money behind bars. . .

I think these services could keep them from becoming (more) insane. Complete isolation of all kind from the outside world doesn't do much in terms of rehabilitation.

It really depends on where the prison is located...i think criminals should suffer..they should regret their actions and wish to never do them again..

I still think we should be giving out lashes instead of prison sentences that are less than 3 months in duration. Therefore this would apply to petty crimes

If you are so curious, why won't you try to survive for one week in prison. I really don't believe prison is at all easy.

Ever see the movie "Lets Go To Prison!"..nevermind but no being in a place with other murderer's, phychopaths, and drug dealers, and others of sorts doesn't sound to easy or fun.

well if thats what they do in that prison ima go rob a bank now.

Prison is not all about punishment, how ever poor of a job our prison system is what it is meant for is to rehabilitate and reinstate people. Basicaly "Correct" them.

P.s to many posts to read so i didnt.

Well if someone is going to be released, I think it's only reasonable to try to minimize the damage that prison will cause them. When people are in prison for crimes relating to drugs and poverty, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say, "here's what we're gonna do...we're gonna **** you up even more, then release you back into society in 7 years." If they're in an even sorrier and desperate state when they get out, then what good did it do to imprison them in the first place? All you've done is put them with other criminals who'll teach them how to be better at crime when they're released.

So yeah...if giving criminals educational opportunities helps them to change their lives, then do it.

Also when it comes to stuff like entertainment and recreation, that's far less "necessary". But you have to understand that prison is extremely dangerous for both the guards and the inmates. And bored violent felons are more likely to say "I think I'll go stab a dude". If giving them limited entertainment opportunities keeps them from acting out, then do it.

in some respects yes.

I definately find it amusing/ironic that criminals seem to have better fundamental "rights" (health, dental, education, etc) than free people do.

Say what you want, but the fact that rapists, murderers, and other criminals have better healthcare than I do just makes me sad.

i wasnt exactly refering to that, i was refering to strictly the healthcare aspect:P c'mon im no hippie liberal, just roll with it all right?

you also left out the part where I owe the hospital tens, if not hndreds, of thousands of dollars.

if youve been stabbed in a vital organ, yea it will cost a small fortune.

if you been poked with a knife, though? No, thats just stitches

haha yea, but with the slew of low-level posters that have suddenly emerged and the troubles they bring to forums, ive decided to A.) overlook stuff I'd give a hard time about to higher level posters, and B.) not make things personal.

but yea I had something all typed out, even had a picture, ready to go for that "From the streets" comment but then thought better ofi t.

I never get why people think the job of prisions should be to simply pnush people. Sure you can make a prisoner stay in a windowless 6 by 6 cell for 'n' years, but I bet when they get out they won't be thinking of how they can become productive members of society
