No, not really. It's putting the mentally ill and irrational ones in a cage that's a fucking disgrace.

The bankers know what they do.

Only if you believe in dualistic free will.

As I said elsewhere, when these comments come out in any general prison thread I support them. When they only come out when bankers are mentioned, I do not.

And, philosophical questions of free will tend to be a waste of time to consider. If you don't have free will then we also didn't really "choose" to execute you... Next.

Putting a rational human being in a cage makes them mentally ill and irrational. Well, at least we know this for sure about solitary.
