    Prison should not be a place people don't mind going repeatedly, which is currently the case.

    If you want them to work make them work off the amount of money they owe to taxpayers for their stay in prison.
    This.

    I'm all for the re-introduction of the Auburn prison system.

      If you failed to pay taxes you'd go to federal prison as opposed to Arizona state prison.

      There are jobs in jail
      Prison jobs are win/win for everyone.

      As best as I remember, they pay something like 30 cents an hour to do jobs that would pay a citizen between 6-10+ an hour.

        recidivisim rate is 60% at this place. Why would you ever commit a 2nd crime in this county?

        Television:

        restricted to Disney, CSPAN, Food Network & weather channel


        The Food

        from sfgate.com:

        If you're sentenced to county-jail time here, you kiss goodbye your coffee, cigarettes, salt, pepper, ketchup and organized recreation. You get two meals a day, each of which costs the county 40 cents. You eat sandwiches with green-tinged bologna, and hot-meal meat referred to as "Red Death," "slop" and "emu meat."

        The rules


        sleeping quarters.


        Taking inmates somewhere


        DUI/DWI chaingangs

        The only female chaingang in the nation
        I dont remember there names but they were allot of fun....

          Honestly, I think a lot of people that commit another crime right after being released from jail/prison do it on purpose so they can go back to their 'home'. Maybe not people in jail as much as people in prison(as people that are in jail are typically only in there for a short period of time.. I think the max someone can spend in jail is 1 year, if your sentenced to more than that, you go to prison). If you spend 30 years in prison, that's all you know. That's all your life is. That's home to you. You wouldn't know what to do when you get out. All you've known the last 30 years of your life is prison. I just think a lot of them, after awhile, enjoy prison or get used to it to the point where when they do get released, they just want to go back.

                  Prisons are overpopulated. We should have the death penalty for all lifers. Prisoners should have no rights.

                    This would cause the number of murdered police to skyrocket.

                    I don't think you want that.

                      You're right, I do not want that. What I do want is what's indicated in my original post. It's one of those "If I ruled the world, here's how I'd run it" type of things for me, just hypothetical.

                        And what you wanted would cause police to be murdered.

                        One of the main reasons the death penalty is highly restricted is so that only the most egregious crimes carry the highest penalty and even then the death penalty is more of a threat than a punishment.

                        If you always punish rape, murder, and armed robbery with the death penalty there's no reason to not kill any potential witness since the punishment is going to be the same. Furthermore, if you are going to be killed anyway, you might as well kill any police officer when attempting to escape since again, there's no higher punishment.

                          I don't work like that. I still say death penalty for all lifers.

                            ENERGY CRISIS SOLVED!

                            I've always wanted to hook up the inmates and the gym rats (I'm of the latter) to provide alternative energy sources...

                            Why not?

                            I'm pretty sure this worked on The Flintstones...
