Alcatraz

[HisArpy]

Dear doddering old man,
I understand your need to tell stories that don't interest anyone. Not because they are made up, that wouldn't be a problem, no, because they are absolutely boring. I pity you. You're probably alone, have no friends or girlfriend and you're ejaculating your semen here now.
Your insults to my person are a little tiring, but I really do have complete understanding. It must be awful to be rebuked by a woman when you think you're such a great man. But don't worry, as soon as you've had sex, you'll understand that women are only human and not goddesses that you're secretly watching from afar.
Of course you're pathetic, but you're also a very poor sod.

With the expression of my highest esteem

She sounds lonely and unwanted.

She sounds lonely and unwanted.

She's looking for a daddy to spank her.

I'm not interested in the bratty baby games she'll bring along with her.

 

[HisArpy]

Should have been 'said'. Not "aid".
(Keep calm and carry on).

And which one has the outboard motor?

Dance monkey, dance

A lady’s true effectiveness isn’t measured by her friends' applause but by the sheer volume of her enemies’ frustrations

^apparently doesn't know what an airboat is.

Trump's handlers/owners thought the Alcatraz distraction was needed for this week. Next week it will be something like naming the Golden Gate Bridge after Trump (or something inane like that). It's just a distraction, folks. Keep your eyes on what's really going on ie: the coup

I'm never in a state other than calm. Frustration is for the indecisive.

I use more conventional criteria when measuring women.

It's tough navigating the realities of life with the uninformed.

It really makes me wonder why he didn't already it's the GOLDEN gate bridge after all.
Hey, all the money they "saved" could be used to paint it golden.

Yes, a daddy to spank me sounds pretty nice. But he has to have a working penis. So don't be afraid, no job for the both of you.

True. The inlet is the Golden Gate but the bridge is a rust color. Not unlike Trump's jaundiced pallor

You have no clue.

I was doxxed on this site, I am who I say I am.

Meanwhile, you've reverted to type where you lose the debate and instantly turn into a vile person slinging personal attacks against someone you dislike merely because they have the temerity to disagree with you.

Get a fucking clue little girl.

I thought you were the one who doxxed yourself? Yet you are not who you say you are because you were doxxed as some element of proof.

You are more than you say you are, far worse as a matter of record.

Anyone disagreeing with you is met with derision and villification at a personal level as your standard go-to mode when you have no exit and are cornered. So when you accuse someone of the temerity to disagree with them, and that person is you, it's not without merit.

You are on record as a dishonest liar, lawyer, maybe.

 

[dmallord]

Because we need space to house them while we comply with your embedded communist judges who think illegals have all of the rights you do.

Why do you need the space? Trump's press secretary says, those judges work for Trump, so they can't be embedded communist judges. They are MAGA appointed just so you know and serve him, she stated on record.

Trump could build temporary internment camps, like those in Gaza, of razor wire and portable toilets in some warm climate like Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico America. Then set up around-the-clock hearings, and have aircraft on standby. [Maybe skip the aircraft flights, they walked here; make'em walk back! MAGA!

He promised mass deportation. Not that he would build prisons for those illegals. Need the excess pet population flown there for them to eat, even if they are not Haitians, at this point. Solve the spay/neuter issues at the pounds at the same time. In the first 100 days, he only managed a few flights that caught some attention. Not enough to keep his promises to Americans, you know? He could easily ID anyone with tattoos and try them first as obvious MS-13 or other gangs. There must be 15 million of them by his count, so that would be a 'no-brainer' decision. What's holding him up?

Now, what to do with the space those millions of illegals occupied when they were in America? Who is going to rent those spaces? 30 million vacancies are a lot of revenue that has to be replenished. Not to mention a lot of farmers' crops to harvest by someone. Ah, the Florida governor may have that covered. He's lowering the age of teen workers and increasing their ability to skip school and work if needed in that vital trade.

There's no good reason why they shouldn't be comfortable.

The purpose of incarceration is not punishment.

The purpose of incarceration is not rehabilitation.

The purpose of incarceration is incarceration.

Taking a criminal out of circulation for a while is always the most we can reasonably hope to accomplish.

Sad point of view on the justice system. You sound like @HisArpy: jaded.

The point has been made that recidivism rates are not perfect. Not all of those in jail deserve to have a second chance. I would say, we need a better screening system to see who among them has that gift dangled before them. Clearly there were enough contacts for Armpit to get pissed over and jaded because of it. Yet, the efforts were not in vain. There were/are successes and those we should study and replicate.

While prison for life for others is obvious, it isn't obvious that it applies to everyone sent there for less than evil deeds.

I just don't see why it has to be any more uncomfortable and unpleasant than is strictly necessary to keep the inmates locked up.

As for studying and replicating successes, there are countries in Europe that have had good success with a system much less harsh. There are some prisons so minimum security that the inmates are not locked up -- but they don't just walk away.

 

[dmallord]

A little bit of research on the googie woogie ought to inform you about the state of policing in the UK and Europe.

But, because I'm not a total skank:



What that means is that Europe doesn't incarcerate criminals and instead prefers fines and social programs while criminals walk free to offend again and again and again. Even when they do put someone in prison, it's a last resort and for shorter periods.

Compared to the US which imposes jail sentences for criminals and grants parole or probation for minor offenders.

One is a jail as a last resort mindset, while the other is punish first then grant leniency society. The difference can be seen in the disparate incarceration rates. It has nothing to do with whether counseling inmates or social programs is the better program model over incarceration.

From this post it seems you are saying those countries are okay with release and catch again and again. And only prison for the most severe or repeat offenders. What types of crimes are these persons being released on? I suspect they aren't the violent offenders. Right? or are you just winging it again?

Which system seems to be the better solution? Or is there no better one, as we have too many different philosophical approaches to criminal prosecution and incarceration?

 

[Politruk]

The only reason we're even talking about this is that a TV station within broadcast range of Palm Beach recently showed Escape from Alcatraz and it gave Trump the idea. When he announced it, he described Alcatraz in terms that made it very clear he thought the movie was real life.

I agree — prison doesn’t need to be more unpleasant than necessary to ensure safety and security. Excessive harshness doesn’t serve any practical purpose beyond punishment for its own sake, and all the evidence shows that it doesn’t reduce crime in the long run.

Some European countries, like Norway and Germany, have succeeded with a more humane approach. Their prisons focus on rehabilitation — things like education, mental health care, and job training — and they see significantly lower rates of people reoffending compared to the U.S. [1] [2]. That’s not theory — it’s practice, and it works.

The U.S. has one of the highest recidivism rates in the developed world—over 60% within three years [3]. That alone should motivate us to examine what’s working elsewhere and rethink the “tougher is better” mindset.

If the goal is to make society safer and reduce the cost of crime, then making prison conditions humane and focused on real rehabilitation isn’t soft—it’s smart.

Trump Vows To Reopen Joann Fabrics As Prison

WASHINGTON—Vowing to restore and revitalize the facilities as a symbol of law, order, and justice, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. government Monday to reopen Joann Fabrics and Crafts stores as federal prisons. “I am directing the Bureau of Prisons to use all 850 Joann locations to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, stating that officials had already begun investigating how to relocate and imprison violent and repeat criminals within the shuttered hobby store’s long, towering aisles filled with endless yarn, ribbon, and candles. “Joann’s will be a maximum security prison, with Rapists and Murderers chained to sewing machines and oversized looms, or locked inside Joann’s custom craft corner. Many years ago, Americans used to fear Joann’s ‘handmade happiness.’ And soon, these violent criminals and thugs will know why!” Trump added that inmates housed at Joann Fabrics would be forced, just like notorious criminals such as Al Capone once were, to teach macramé classes to shoppers on Saturday mornings.

NOt FuNny. BuBBa. You made me look!

The problem is this moralistic strain in American culture -- evil has to be punished -- we're all raised on stories in which any other ending would be unsatisfactory. It's almost as bad as Victorian British culture, and its prisons with treadmills that were not connected to anything.

A criminal defense lawyer is someone who is paid to tell lies on behalf of a criminal.

A parking-garage lawyer is someone who prints out pro-forma letters but aspires to be on the SCOTUS.

You are confused.

Not unexpected.

It's Lit humor, sugar. You have to know the character being poked fun at to appreciate the slamming comment toward him.

Hang around and get to know the board members, and eventually you'll get the hang of it.

You didn't answer the question. Obfuscation, or side shuffle due to guilt on your part, is my conjecture, Dudley.

As expected. So are you a parking garage lawyer with SCOTUS aspirations?

That you're confused about what happened, yet make no effort to find out the truth, only shows that your confusion is intentional. Therefore it's not actually confusion (my bad for saying so) but stupidity running rampant in a failed effort to make yourself relevant in a world which doesn't give a shit about you or anything you do or say.

Good luck in all your future endeavors.
