- WalterBright 7y agoMy point is that subsistence allocations of food, water, shelter, and clothing is not enough, and such are part of the punishment of prison.
- rogual 7y agoI wouldn't even consider prison to offer "shelter" since you're locked in there with violent people.
- parallel 7y agoWords work because we agree what they mean in advance. You can't redefine "shelter" to suit your argument. Just make it with the standard definitions of words.
- rogual 7y agoWould you consider that a non-standard usage of "shelter"? I had a quick look online and I'm seeing definitions like: a position or the state of being covered and protected a shielded or safe condition; protection a place giving temporary protection from bad weather or danger
- freehunter 7y agoThey're certainly enough to survive, which is why they're provided in prison. The argument wasn't that these are the only things you should ever have in life, but rather that these are the only things you need in life, and everything else is a luxury. The punishment of prison isn't free food and shelter, it's a lack of luxuries. And people survive for decades in prison, so obviously what they're getting is, by definition, enough.

- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThe things that make prison an undesirable place are lack of autonomy and separation from friends and family. You don’t need advertising or corporations to provide these.
