US prison workers produce $11B worth of goods and services for little to no pay

The alternative is for one to revert that fucked up attitude toward convicts and consider them as people who need help to go back to being normal productive members of society rather than slaves.

Yes some of the convicts are a monsters so they would keep being in prisons but the rest will not have to turn into hardened career criminals with fucked up mind and looking for a revenge.

They played stupid games and they won stupid prizes… that’s the whole idea…

To the end of their lives? This "whole idea" is an abomination. And whose idea is it anyways, fucking slave owner's?

Absolutely for plenty of them they deserve nothing less. Society shouldn't have to live with killers and rapists, put them in the ground.

Killers and rapists make a minority of of all crimes so cut the bull.

Okay, then for you, the system is good as long as the inmates are not imprisoned for victimless crimes?

I hope you never have to suffer wrongful incarceration. Or maybe a bit just so you learn how the world works.

I think you've somehow gotten the victims in this world reversed. Have you ever had something stolen from you? Someone close to you raped beaten or even killed? Maybe a bit of experience in the real world would knock some sense into you. Your bleeding heart for criminals (of all people) is making the world worse for the rest of us. Not that it should have to be said but to be clear... the victims of crimes are the victims... not the criminals.

I've been beaten and had things stolen from me. Still I do not share your view.

"making the world worse for the rest of us" - I believe that the "rest of you" are making the world worse for the rest of us by turning people who could be normal into hardened incorrigibles looking out for a revenge.

I am not for not prosecuting criminals. I am for not overdoing it and and for giving a fair chance for people who had made a mistake but are perfectly capable of leading normal lives. I am not advocating letting serial killer walk free and incognito.
