So of all things, farm animals is where you draw the line? So children or adults or even regular animals are okay but not the farm animals! Lol

That was just an example.

Raping farm animals is illegal? Shit...

raising? you're not raising the inmates. unless you work in juvi… maybe you mean grooming?

You are raising them. There's no point in ever letting them out if you're not going to raise them. They'd just go back to whatever they were doing before.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Criminals are still people and deserve to be treated as such. That doesn't mean you have to fluff their pillows and read them bedtime stories, but just changing the way you speak to them might be a good idea (seeing as that's your job and all). And as for raising (or conditioning) them for the outside world... it reminds me of one of my favorite movie quotes, "...what else is to be concluded, Sire, than that you first make thieves and then punish them?" Sure, they're already thieves (or murderers, or... whatever), but lets not give them a reason to continue on that path, shall we?

60- Well said. *Tips hat*

If someone's in jail for murdering or raping someone, in my honest opinion they shouldn't be treated with any respect or cordiality. (I'm a big fan of the electrical chair.)

At what point did people stop learning on their own? Generally as a little kid you learn not to touch the hot pan after you realize that it is hot. Prison is supposed to be bad, not a place you want to go a second round. Some people are capable of learning and decide to clean up their act after they get out. As for the others, they are either stupid or the punishment isnt bad enough.

Or foolish enough.
