Off the top of my head I imagine that most prison administrators are political appointees and probably know far less about the actual conditions of the prison and are less removed from the day-to-day running than one might expect. They have the ability to enact top-down changes in operations, but generally have no motivation to do so. I would think feedback like this would be quite valuable to them, so they could gain a perspective on what's going on that isn't coming from their direct reports.

- jrochkind1 11y agothat's quite an imagination you have.
- vinceguidry 11y agoThanks. I don't particularly care about the topic, otherwise I'd go about fleshing out my musings with actual information. In this case I might use Quora to validate the basics and then spend some time on Google to answer particulars as I think about them. But I'd say a good imagination is a necessary tool if one wants to understand the world. Without it, I wouldn't know where to start a search. Here I made my work available for others who might want to build on it, since I'm not all that interested in it.
- jrochkind1 11y agoHey, don't let your absence of caring about the topic, or lack of "actual information" stop you from sharing on HN the things you imagine based on no actual information or experience! You might not care to spend the time to learn anything about what you're talking about, but you can still spend time sharing your uninformed 'musings' on things you "aren't all that interested in" with HN! Keep on rocking!
