You are 100% right! Noone HAS to commit a crime to survive..period. Thats just a lame excuse for being a lazy scum bag...
I also DONT believe that prisioners should have all the luxeries thay have in prison either, they are treated WAY to good...... but thats another subject...

ETA: Just my opinion, of course..

Sorry this is the one I meant to reply to.

I disagree. You can tell a lot about the human condition by the way they treat their lowest common denominator. It's why I got into prison health - the 'comforts of home' is a laughable comment. Prison isn't terribly challenging (and prisoners say this, just keep your nose clean) but it isn't particularly home-like either. A lot of the things that get taken away from prisons (like television) actually CAUSE more crime because the criminals become bored and destructive, like children. The reason I took a particulart interest in prison diets is because I found they were feeding prisoners things that were proven to cause an increase in crime rate.

All these things people want to take away from criminals (some who have done MINOR crimes) are the things that give them a higher chance of reformation. Unless we want to shut them away for every day and pay 200k a year in taxes each, we're going to have to work on reformation. Created bored obese criminals and putting them in a room to learn off each other for five years and then sending them into the world where nobody will give the a job because of their record... will only cause more crime. We can agree on that much, I'm sure.

Let me be frank-that sounds like a bunch of fertilizer. Their diet causes an increase in crime? No, the fact that they are narcissistic idiots is what causes them to commit crimes. I thought someone in an earlier post said they were committing crime in order to get something to eat???? Now they're committing crime BECAUSE they were GIVEN something to eat???? Interesting...
Prison isn't terribly challenging? That's too bad, they had an opportunity to be challenged by getting an education and availing themselves of the countless chances to go to college. Did they? No, they're lazy and would rather steal from someone that did just that.
Those of you that have sympathy for these jackwagons might have a TOTALLY different perspective on this whole thing had some convict who jumped bail did a drive by on your house because you loaned his girlfriend's husband money to get a divorce-happened to me and had he not been such a coward and run, he'd have gotten a big surprise from me and wouldn't be sitting in prison right now. I don't feel sorry for his worthless...self. He could have easily killed me or my husband.
There is a place in the dictionary where you can find sympathy, but I won't be real descriptive as to where it is...not appropriate for this site.
If you don't have a problem with criminals and you want them treated so beautifully by society, by all means, post your address on the internet welcoming them into your home-maybe it'll save one of us that DOES have a problem with them and no sympathy for them from being robbed, carjacked or worse.

I agree with the hanging tree comment...I had to grow up in the era after John Wayne Gacy was caught, and he lived less than 10 miles from my house. He was given 15 years of confinement away from the rest of the prison population and WAY too much time to appeal his death sentence, while everyone outside had to fear for their kids and wonder if he had any accomplices still circulating. How are you NOT responsible for 30-odd human beings buried under your house??? Then we had good ol' Jeff Dahmer, not too terribly far away, who was never given a death sentence because the state of Wisconsin doesn't do that. His fellow prisoners, of course, saw things differently. And of course in the same area we have whoever murdered the Schussler-Peterson boys; it has been speculated loosely that Gacy did it as his first offense but no one will ever know the whole truth, so the public at large still has much to fear because of these cases. I think this human condition we have now is that we need to treat our lowest common denominator like the reeking trash it is and dispose of it, publicly and promptly, and maybe give SOME chance at reform to the one-time offenders or small-timers. Our tax dollars already pay for nursery school once, and I see no reason we should pay for it twice, however.

Well, it's because they do sometimes get away with it...here's a case in point: the Lincoln Assassination and John Wilkes Booth. There has been much convincing argument made for many, many years that John Wilkes Booth did NOT die but escaped instead, and while we have the forensic ability now and the DNA available to test, they still can't get an exhumation order put through. Now you would think this would be very simple and could solve the argument and the rumors once and for all, but that isn't even getting done. Granted it's a very old crime, but given the high profile nature, wouldn't you think that they would want to put it to rest? So when something like that is out there and public record, and other things too, people probably figure they have a chance at getting away with it. Plus the sociopathic personality is usually very confident and narcissistic and feels they have what it takes to beat the system.
 
Nobody "gets away" with a crime. You may evade the local law enforcement but you will eventually reap what you have sown, this universal law is just as real as gravity.
 
One person said a society is judged by how it treats its lowest citizens.

I would say a society can be judged equally by how its lowest citizens act.

How they are treated, they have no control over. How they act, they have complete control over themselves. They should be judged on how they act not how they are treated. How they are treated is largely a consequense of how they act.
