Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 This article was too funny to pass up... I have heard of prison rewards, but this was a COMPLETE joke!! Glad someone stepped up to end this practice. Scary. So much for the rehabilitation of prisoners! *GAME OVER* I wonder what they would have played next.. Escape From Alcatraz on Xbox?

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Ridiculous. These fockers should be rotting in a deep dark hole, no TV, no books, no videogames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopsGuy Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Did you notice the "Clinton-esque" ability of the governor to say two different things at the same time? "Our penitentiaries are punitive institutions where those who have committed crimes against society are sent to pay for their actions. and then... In prison, inmates should "pick up skills and abilities that will allow them to go back out into society and be productive citizens," Blunt said. So guv, are the wardens/guards there to punish the prisoners or rehabilitate them? Most people like ask, "Can't they do both?" Yeah, sure. It's easy. I'm sure the guards that have to deal with this scum were happy to let them play video games all day. It kept them occupied and from fashioning weapons. I guess it's back to the weight room.

KD in CA Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Weight rooms are the things that should be banned in prisons. I'd rather they get stupid and lazy playing video games. If you don't want to give them cop killer games, let them play Super Mario. Easy PR move for the Gov. Too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must live in one of those "rich" towns! I can't remember the last time I heard someone talking on the subway that could pass an eighth grade language exam.

We're not talking 8th grade when we went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he said to me, Whads da matta wid you? Don't you know nuttin?" Proves that some people just can't get away from their roots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
