Prison Reform

Why does the federal prison system, not reform? I believe that the federal system should be
run like military prison. The vast majority of prisoners never grew up with discipline. Why not
instill it? Yes, I know, the ACLU would say it is cruel and unusual punishment, but they are
idiots.

The US incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than most countries. And if you think prisons don’t enforce discipline, you’ve clearly never been in one.

@LeopoldBloom I spent a year in military prison 40 years ago. No one ever got abused
in any way shape or form. The lights came on at 0500 and we marched to the chow hall
a half mile away. We then went to our pre designated "Jobs" were we worked until 1700hrs
then we went back to the prison after eating dinner, we cleaned for 2 hours, and lights out
at 2100hrs. I know a guy that was denied parole because he didn't shave on a Sunday.
another guy lost it for trying to sneak a candy bar into his cell.

@DogMan Military incarceration is vastly different than civilian incarceration.

@NativePortlander1970 Correct, that's my point. Military has 24/7 discipline, and prices
to pay for not following orders.
