Does them with some aids or cancer and give them experimental drugs to see how they would effect the human body! Hey it's the LEAST they can do to re-pay society!!

FINALLY! Someone who agrees with what I've been saying for years!
I also think that prisons should be self-sufficient, like Hunt Correctional Center here in Louisiana. Why should we have to pay for these people? I'm all for the Gov. in Arizona who put the inmates in tents in the desert.
Hunt is also a "deadline" facility, in that there are no fences. There are field workers and armed guards on horseback, and if anyone tries to make a run for it, they shoot them. Hunt, however, isn't a "prison." It's more of a "boot camp." You have to be a trustee to go into the Impact Program, and every two days there takes a day off your sentence. They get up at the ass-crack of dawn, do PT, run a few miles (or if they piss off their guard, they duckwalk for a few miles--got that straight from the mouth of a duck who spent over a year there. They grow beans, so that's what the inmates get to eat. He swears he'll never touch beans again.), then they go to work doing whatever it is they're told to do. Not a whole lot of tolerance for bullshit at Hunt.
And hell, inmates get free schooling anyway--I think that a useful degree should be a requirement for parole/release. That way they have something they can use to support themselves when they get out.
And last, but not least: put executions on pay-per-view and donate the money to the prisons. Then the anti-death-penalty whiners won't be able to say that it costs more to execute someone than keep them alive.....
Well, that's all from me tonight...I've been up since 6am, and it's midnight. I have to get up in six hours.
Night, all...
