Yes, elected officials should also be required to spend 24 consecutive hours each month in the inmate population of the local jail, prison, etc. to ensure that it offers safe and humane conditions.
- wonderwonder 8y agoI would support this. The fact that the government can seize you, force you to live among people who are known to be violent and then not take responsibility when someone is assaulted or killed is insane. Criminal or not, if your person is under government control, your safety and health should be absolutely guaranteed. On a side note the concept of private prisons is also insane. That a private company can hold you for profit is not right.
- vkou 8y agoNot just elected officials, I'll also include in police officers, judges, juries, and, really, pretty much all members of the public in the list of people who would greatly benefit from such an experience.
- justtopost 8y agoI see a clear pattern here, and it is the loss of once common coming-of-age ritual. You might add other modern suggestions in that spirit: No Meat until you slaughter an animal yourself. No pepper spray unless you try it yourself. Spend a week living in the 'retirement community' before dumping those you claim to love there. Etc. Basically dogfooding as gatekeeping.
