Makes you think, doesn't it?

Makes you think, doesn't it?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoWell, what's your alternative? The death penalty? Release them?
- mikeash 7y agoMake your prisons humane, don’t force-feed anyone, and accept the condemnation that occurs when one of your prisoners decides to starve himself to death anyway.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThat's fair. But you aren't the one I was asking. I get the impression that that wasn't danharaj's alternative.
- mikeash 7y agoI don’t see how “Makes you think, doesn't it?” would imply anything more than the comment it was in response to.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI read it as implying that all prisons are inherently inhumane, and therefore that nobody should be in them. But that's one of the problem with drive-by questions like that - you can't tell for sure what their actual point is.
- roboys 7y agoIf prisons get too humane shareholders don't make as much profit, that's the real problem.
