Prisoner Hunger Strike Grows to Nearly 12,000

[2-0-Sixx]

Its hard to look at people who commit crimes and say point blank "These are just criminals"

After doing alot of work with prison counselors and defense attorneys, its always amazing to me not to hear the story of the crime, but the history of the criminal.

While I agree there is an element of choice, alot of these people were made hardened over years.

Usually the victim of their crimes is not the first victim in the cycle. They are.

not only that but we have to remember about 50% of the prison population is locked up for drug charges. People automatically assume prisoners are robbers, rapist, murderers, but just look at the numbers half at least are in there for drugs.

I think that the second you commit a crime you lose your human rights, its fucked up how people be getting sued and going to jail for defending themselves from robbery and such. Same goes for prison you lose your right to a comfortable life when you go to prison

so your telling me in your entire existence, you've never committed a crime? im pretty sure you have, therefore we should give you spoiled milk, mystery meat thats cold, and a bologna sandwiches for dinner for a certain period of time. you deserve to be treated less than a human being, you piece of shit.

There's all kinds of saddling up taking place in this thread.

[sarcasm]You know what, I'm going to go commit a terrorist act, and get sent to a super max prison, and if I don't like the way they operate their prison, I'm going to demand they change their ways, so I can be more comfortable, because I'm human and I deserve a better life style in a super max prison.[sarcasm/]

 

[Rossibreath]

I'm too fat to ever go on a hunger strike

 

[radiostationrep]

Most of yall have never been to prison, not that it is anything to brag about. This has absolutely nothing to do with their rights as a prison population in general. Think a little deeper and those that know will get it.

 

[savage]

This isn't just some regular prison we're talking about here. These are inmates of PBSP. Where the worst of the worst go to. I'm pretty sure NONE of us on here have been to a supermax prison like that.

From my own observations of people and myself, ive seen that people express themselves relative to how they perceive themselves.
Most of it are attempts at over-compensating for what they had been made to believe they lacked from within.
Like those who tend to flaunt and prioritize their "cash/bling" above everything else are really selling themselves short, and it is because they have been "taught" that they are worthless individuals.
So to make up for the feeling of lack of 'shine' from within, they will make sure everything around them is given a shine. Shiny rims, shiny chain, shine car,shiny watch, shiny girl, etc.
We all do it, some of us just have much more to compensate for and these are the ones who end up taking it to such extremities.

like p diddy the cunt

Unfortunately, the inmates will go back to f--king each other up after this is all said and done....

Be real with me for a second. . . how high were you when you wrote this?

I have mixed feelings about this topic. I do agree that these inmates put themselves in prison due to their actions, but constitutionally the c.o's and department of corrections have to follow and obey the proper proticol.. The constitution states that prisoners shall not receive cruel and unusual punishment. And I assume that there are hundreds of laws, rules, by laws and a code of ethics that correctional officers agreed to when they were sworn in. So in theory, no matter how angry they get at the actions of an inmate, they still have to adhere to the guidelines outlined in the constitution..Do rapists,child pedos,mass murderers and career criminals deserve the punishment they get? Yes. But there are individuals in prison for check fraud, forgery and other non violent crimes that get thrown in with animals and are extorted, forced to do more crimes inside all to just survive. And these set of people I feel should not be thrown in with the savages. Their crimes don't fit the punishment.. I don't know if the hunger strike will be effective at all. because at the end of the day the mass majority doesn't give a shit about inmates. The department of corrections is probably like "fuck it, starve urself then".

Conditions for inmates have to improve tho. There are so many diseases spread, hep b and c, mersa(staff infection) and many other blood born pathogens and airborn diseases. More inmates sick mean more medical bill for the state. The 23 hr lockdown that inmates go thru is somewhat inhumane. Yes I think that some inmates need that shit. If u have killed hella people in and out of jail and u order hits on fools then maybe u do need 23 hr lock down. But I don't think that if in inmate that has been placed in special housing/23 hr lock down should be released to the public. U are then releasing an animal to society that will likely snap and start puttin in more work. In closing I commend the inmates for their efforts to improve conditions, but I don't think that the co's or wardens actually give a fuck. All the imates can do is raise awareness of the injustices that they face in prison and hope that the department of civil liberties and other human rights organizations will come to their aid
