Good Morning and Hello to all of you! Today I am discussing Life in jail/prison with country club flair . All western societies (hopefully) lock their criminals away, and sure enough most places of detention pretty much follow the same guidelines everywhere - even in my small home country Austria.
However, here everything has to be considered from a larger point of view, of course, and as a matter of fact, US prisons and jails are bursting with too high a number of inmates due to the logical circumstance that we are talking about a population on a grander scale. Alright, but China's population exceeds this nation's census by almost a billion, and even India is over 1.2 billion making the US population of roughly 311, 6 million look like a dwarf. In China and India they have thousands of prisons and jails too, but there is one major difference. The inmates there hardly have any rights let alone privileges. In Russia jails are generally feared horrifically like the devil runs from holy water because there is just nothing nice about being kept there. In America, on the other hand, many correctional facilities as they are nobly called don't seem to scare anyone but the loyal tax payers.
Take my brother- in- law, for instance, who has already been to the poky for a few times since he thinks he shouldn't have to pay child support for his two daughters. Every time he gets released from jail (up to a year for petty crimes), he looks healthy, well- rested and above all (too) well- fed. He loves life behind bars as the inmates enjoy a lot of freedom being able to watch TV, drink coffee, eat three meals plus snacks, "earn" their cigarettes, read, listen to music, sleep and work out all day long.
"Who loves you the most, baby?", Kojak might want to remark here. Sounds to me like those guys and gals are subscribed to a country- club life instead. The only thing small fish just like my husband's little bro have to worry about is going cold turkey on their booze and drugs. Not that I approve of what I hear and read about incarceration in extreme countries like China or Russia, but I would certainly suggest putting every criminal to intensive work like in some places in South Carolina and Texas!
All bad guys and girls should be utilized for community work such as cleaning streets, parks and other public places or mining, harvesting or working in quarries. They should all be working from 7am to 7pm, six days a week instead of sitting around comfortably and fat plus getting all the medical benefits millions of good US tax payers still cannot afford for themselves. A prison or jail sentence is given for a reason and should definitely not be a reward but a form of punishment unless we want more criminals to infiltrate our society jeopardizing our all freedom beyond the many over- crowded jail houses.
