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.

Have you ever been to Federal prison? It is not meant to be like a military brig because most federal prisoners did not sign up for the conditions that come with the oath of service. That being said they are not country clubs either. The state prison are like hell holes. The guards beat you for virtually no reason, they're stabbings every day and most of them now are run by the national guard who do not care to do anything they pretty much let the prisoners run the place.

The federal prison is becoming more like State prison every day. The only difference is it is cleaner and you are allowed to have better commissary and things like tablets and computer access to email your family. And there are less fights because in the federal prison it is all about respect. Courtesy and manners is what keeps you safe not muscle power. When there is a fight in the feds it's usually with deadly intentions.

The main difference between the federal and state systems is the guards treat you like human beings and speak to you with dignity unless you disrespect them then you get dealt with pretty swiftly. All this nonsense about club Fed is garbage

@KingofBones1 Exactly my point, that bad shit would not happen if they ran state
prisons like military prisons.

@DogMan it would. What you need to reform is the guards not the prisoners conditions. State prison could be more like federal prison if you would hire quality personnel, and give the prisoners good things to focus on. Because with no incentive what is the point of good behavior. That is why programs like the animal Care program and certain other incentive programs have a 90% success rate with very little violence amongst the qualified inmates. But you go to rank and file and it is a whole different story. Statistics speak for this.
