Three Strikes and You're Dead

[Suwannee Tim]

It is absolute ****ing madness to place a pretty woman guard alone anywhere there is contact with inmates. The prison administration is culpable for this death.

Washington State believes that they can be rehabilitated (which is what prison was also supposed to do IIRC). Sex offenders are also incarcerated in Twin Rivers almost exclusively. I believe it is based off a variety of factors.

They don't want sex offenders being locked up in general population because of what happens to them.

Unfortunately the reality is that sex offenders (especially violent ones) have the highest rate of recidivism among all other types of inmates and they tend to be treated with kid gloves.

Reality is that they need to be tossed into a dungeon and fogotten about or put out all together.

Why would anyone think an animal like this is worthy of medium security?

I'm a one strike person. Punish people for the crimes they commit. Not a sum total of felonies or misdemeanors, they committed in the past.

In a perfect world, Kidnapping and Rape would draw a dealth penalty. Or, at least a hole to live in for the rest of your life.

I could never work in corrections. Those officers are out there working in an environment with no real protection.

There was a woman CO alone in the Duval County Jail Law Library last year, brutally raped by a surprise! brutal rapist! Who'd have thunk it?

I'm still stuck on "my brother in law's brother".

In my opinion, those that are too dangerous to be allowed out in society should be killed and the rest should have to do something to repay those that they wronged. As it is, they just sit around and cost taxpayers about $25,000 per person per year. I'm not entirely convinced a prison system is necessary at all.

I had to read that a couple of times to understand, then I lol'ed.

The one thing I might agree with the Commies on is how they treated/treat certain types of prisoners. Bullet in the neck and on to the next scumbag.

Export our worst prisoners to Russian jails in Siberia or hang them.

Hopefully he wont make it to trial.

We've done these before, and I agree with Irish, an eye for an eye but only after unequivocal proof of the peoples in question committed the crime they're to be punished for.

Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

- Proverbs 17:26

And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak
yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said,
I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

- Genesis 18:32

I can quote naturalist but I know that won't have the same impact here

In the end we have presumption of innocence in our courts for a reason, man has a history of flogging innocent men for nothing more presumption of guilt (alive in well in this country).

Did the person in question commit the crimes? I have absolutely no idea nor do I care to know since I'm not here to judge him, hopefully those peers who do - will come to the just determination of his guilt or innocence and he'll be sentenced accordingly.

What I have a problem with is the supporting of a 3 strike law that can be a gross miscarriage of justice.

As discussed earlier, everyone on this board commits felonies with out even knowing they've done such a thing, many on the internet routinely break wiretapping laws with out even being aware.

It's not hard to break the law, and the only reason you're not in prison currently is because nobody has an interest in putting you there. If that time ever comes be assured you'll be found guilty of crimes you never knew you took part in.
