Let's sentence even more harmless guys to 30-to-life! We can just print the money to pay for it anyway.

I love what the native Texan said.

Aging inmates straining prison systems

...
Ballard is among the national surge in elderly inmates whose medical expenses are straining cash-strapped states and have officials looking for solutions, including early release, some possibly to nursing homes. Ballard says he's fine where he is.

"I'd be a burden on my kids," said the native Texan. "I'd rather be a burden to these people."

That burden is becoming greater as the American Civil Liberties Union estimates that elderly prisoners are � the fastest growing segment of the prison population, largely because of tough sentencing laws� and are three times more expensive to incarcerate than younger inmates.

The ACLU estimates that it costs about $72,000 to house an elderly inmate for a year, compared to $24,000 for a younger prisoner.

The federal Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that the number of men and women in state and federal prisons age 55 and older grew 76 percent between 1999 and 2008, the latest year available, from 43,300 to 76,400. The growth of the entire prison population grew only 18 percent in that period.

"We're reaping the fruits of bad public policy like Three Strikes laws and other mandatory minimum sentencing laws," said David C. Fathi, director of the ACLU National Prison Project in Washington, D.C. "One in 11 prisoners is serving a life sentence."

Well lets stop paying for

weight rooms
3 course meals
Rec rooms
Education
computers
fine linens

etc

and then maybe we can pay for the minimal health needs of the convicts.

Isnt Prison supposed to be a deterrent to crime?

Prison should be a place where you get a dirty floor, a bucket to take a piss and dump in, you sleep with cockroaches and get a glass of water and a piece of bread meat and cheese once a day.

You get let out once and thats to shower, and in that shower the guards pay bull queers to gang rape you in the shower each and every day.

And there should be tougher sentencing on minor crap, you get caught with drugs, you go to jail, you get caught stealing you go to jail, you get caught driving drunk, you go to jail.

Lastly, cut down on the care you give the older inmates. Say "this is what prison has, and if it's not enough then hey I guess you are out of luck, maybe you should have thought about that before you broke the law and jerked off society"

If people thought that they may get sick and die of something simple while in Prison then they may not want to go there. BUT while prisoners get better health care than the rest of the population OF COURSE you are going to get people in there abusing it

Seoulio:

Most of your suggestions about changing the prison system seem to be intended as serious. However...

Why not just pay Christian Scientiststs or shamans a far smaller fee to take care of all the medical needs of prisoners? I'm sure healing stones and such wouldn't take too much out of the budget! That way you technically aren't neglecting them or just allowing them to die.

I have a better idea. Instead of citizens working and paying tax money to fund criminals we make the criminals work.

I'm not a big starcraft II fan but in their universe, they send criminals to the front lines to get slaughtered. Why can't we do the same by sending criminals to the front lines in Afghanistan to catch bullets?

I meant criminals in general, sending old ones to the front lines doesn't make much sense. The old ones can do other menial jobs like growing crops on farmland.

Why don't we just send them to Australia like in the old days?
