Why do blaqs support crime so much. No apps. Just lock up criminals. And use them for experiments and target practice I say.

At 13:30 he asserts theres a “need for criminal justice reform”, lets not lose sight of his admission that as a teenager, he aquired a gun, set out with intent, held the gun to an innocent strangers face, threatened his life then robbed him, stealing his car. . . . without jail time what are the odds on him graduating quickly to killing people ? I think it’s highly likely that jail time saved innocent lives, and probably saved his own life. Be much more virtuous for ex-cons to maybe make ammends to victims of crime rather than improve the lot of convicts.

“People who escape jail time quickly become murderers”
Right sure Jeremy, not like there are decades of statistics showing that punitive jail increases the risk of reoffending or anything
It’s not like reformative justice has been a massive success anywhere else in the world
You fucking boomer

@DeoMachina That’s stupid…
How many criminals who don’t get jail sentences just give up and never commit a crime again?
Where are those statistics?

This is brilliant!!!
Cindy Phillips
November 10, 2019 at 5:56 pm
@Alexandria Musick that’s a fair statement. But until they do, then the criminals who are actually paying for their crimes should be able to reach out to their families.
Cindy Phillips
November 10, 2019 at 5:57 pm
Within reason. There should be no contact for pedophiles in my opinion

This guy just wants to have a prison Facebook and that’s a big no…

@Alexandria Musick he already has it up. Try not to infantile your argument by name calling. You’re devaluing your argument.

I have a question. Do incarcerated people ‘deserve’ to be connected with their families that much?
Just a pure curiosity. No means of offending anyone.

Prison should be a cage keeping bad guys in and innocent people safe. The rest is just extra. We should lose the extra.

SARAH 1988 I’m guessing you are a correctional officer, or a DA ? Am I close? Just curious.

@Kay Ren what I mean by extra is like extra rules that are unneeded. Im a nurse
Albrecht Quincke
November 11, 2019 at 7:08 am
@SARAH 1988 But you are aware that incarcerating the bad guys forever doesn’t work, aren’t you? One day they return to society and without the “extra” more bad things will happen then.
Kay Ren

He x’ed you? Sir, why did you have a gun on you? Why would you use it to possibly injure another human being to begin with? Did your mother know you had a gun? No, nobody deserves connection with the outside world. This is what prison means. You are in PRISON. To connect you with everybody does nothing to change who we are. We have to do this. How about starting in our own neighborhood.

@DeoMachina The three strike rule is now seen as outdated. The system is being reformed. Just not at your, let everybody free, nihilistic pace. You remind me of the occupy wall street folk.
Deathbyjustice 1975
November 10, 2019 at 6:39 pm
@DeoMachina Im sure it was liberals who brought in the 3 strike rule. But don’t worry Trumps a changing things. First step act, fair chance hiring. Just give him a little time my little anarchist.😉

@DeoMachina In fact, you may want to check out Marcus Bullocks press conference at the White House with Trump. That was about prison reform. It was quite moving. I can feel a Seachange. How about you.

Is this person forgetting the fact that prisoners dont get phones?
Scott Summers
November 10, 2019 at 9:02 am
ASD43521 well actually inmates have the opportunity in many states to purchase tablets without wifi. They can connect it to kiosks and send and receive emails, music, books, etc. But all material is run through prison admin.
Alexandria Musick
November 10, 2019 at 4:44 pm
@Scott Summers So it’s already in effect in some places…
No need to axe for a new app then…
Alexandria Musick
November 10, 2019 at 4:47 pm
I agree that the sum of all human knowledge, a.k.a. the internet, should be available to people in prison.
But not social media and apps…
You don’t get rewarded for crimes.
