+199 not everybody in prison is there for things like rape and murder, having tv isnt taking away from their punishment from being in prison. theres still prison gangs and ass rapings, tv keeps them from going fucking insane. amirite?

....you're right, let's make their stay as enjoyable as possible. They already have books, mail, newspaper, chances at paid jobs. Not to mention three hot meals a day, a bed, and vacation time ranging from 5 years to life. I'd call that a bargain for committing a crime.

If it keeps them from committing more crimes in prison, yes. It's been proven that conjugal visits significantly cut down the violence within prison systems. It's not like every single prisoner is allowed nice things whenever they want them; they're called privileges for a reason. If you're poorly behaved your privileges are taken away. If you're on good behavior, you're rewarded.

...Enjoyable as possible? You know what my brother ate in prison? Green bologna on stale bread. Vacation time? Depends. You can't get a job unless you've been in prison for a set ammount of years, and go to a 1/3 way house where you're allowed to leave for your job to make money for when you get released so you're not a hobo.

You know what homeless people eat on the streets after a long day of begging? Sometimes nothing. You know what they sleep on? Cardboard. Be glad that this is the 21st century instead of the 1800s, because then your brother would've been in shackles, half starved and sitting in his own shit. Don't look to me for sympathy if some asshole with an anger problem ends up in prison and then bitches about the food, vacation time, or anything else.

So are you saying it wouldn't be so bad to go to prison? Would you go it you had a change? Like you said, it IS a bargain!

I don't feel the need to commit crimes.
