Colin Gray, whose son is charged with the slayings of 4 people at Apalachee High School, asked a judge to be separated from other inmates behind bars.
“judge a society by its prisons.” fyodor dostoyevsky.
The comments on these stories are always filled with “You should be safe in prison but fuck this guy because he did x”
You realize that’s why things just keep getting worse right? Cause y’all will always come up with exceptions. Every. Single. Time.
It’s black or white folks. Going to prison shouldn’t be a death sentence and you shouldn’t be attacked regularly. There are no gray areas here.
Same with war crimes against Russia. People here love to argue we should be as bad as the enemy because they did it first, but just this time* fr fr
On one hand, you should be safe in jail to serve your time. We aren’t animals and treating criminals inhumanely or allowing as such is just perpetuating a cycle.
On the other hand? Fuck that guy.
True… Once we start talking about more ethical treatment of prisoners, it gets embarrassing fast when we have to confront the fact that not only is most or all US incarceration not intended for any personal or societal benefit or protection, but it is actively seeking to enslave the population for shareholder value.
An entirely new philosophy of how criminal offenders should be dealt with is needed, but I’m not even sure those cards are in this deck.
You left out America’s seething thirst for revenge instead of justice and good Ole American racism. Prison is just a house to keep the undesirables. If you’re there you deserve everything that happens to you. There are no innocent or even people in prison. Those are things that are kept away to keep society (white ppl) safe.
For instance, the great state of Kentucky passed the ‘Safer Kentucky Act’ which allows police to arrest homeless individuals. So the process is: Homeless > Jail > Homeless > jail > Homeless > jail. Until the fourth time where it becomes a felony.
And the only prisons where rich white people regularly end up are Minimum security federal prisons, where the large scale financial fraud people go. Is a completely different environment which is more like a college campus or country club.
No cells, rooms, and there’s no fences or anything. It doesn’t look nor feel like a prison.
Agree. If folks don’t believe in safely and humanely handling prisoners they effectively permit prison rape as a common and acceptable thing.
I don’t think that’s alright.
This dude is a criminal and I hope serves time due to his actions. He shouldn’t be raped or assaulted while there. He should be incarcerated.
One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present. The timeline the teen’s father provided to authorities would put the gun purchase months after authorities first contacted Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats made online. https://archive.li/cC1FT
Yeah, fuck that guy.
Christmas isn’t too far away. May be he can gift an AR-15 those who threaten him.
Oh, threats of violence you say? We should definitely look into that, maybe go talk to a few inmates with some softball questions, dismiss their batshit crazy answers, and never follow up.
