Ohh inhumane??? - the poor things - eff that. They are prisoners - they are supposed to be getting punished. Thought we were concerned for the poor - how bout taking a meal or two a week away from the prisoners and feeding it to some of the poor? There are many options. Our system of deterrence is relatively worthless anyway. Hey, maybe we could let half the people incarcerated for BS drug crimes or traffic tickets out and really put some cash to use in a more positive & constructive way?

Dammit Classicman, how many times do we have to explain that they wouldn't have landed in prison if they weren't poor first? They are in prison not because they made shitty awful choices of their own freewill, but because society forced them to break the law. Get with it man.
