People in jail are there for a reason. People die in jail, just as they do on the outside. Now there are two fewer inmates to house, feed, and release, only to have them do it all again. Don't want to die in jail? Don't go there, then. Meaning: don't commit a crime. Why is this so hard to understand?
28 and 29 year olds do not routinely drop dead.
Bad batch of some new drug get into the prison yesterday? That could explain simultaneous sudden deaths in two different buildings.
please eliminate this type story (MDOC) from ANY future coverage---could NOT care less about ANYBODY in da slammer!!
Big Mama stop putting money on their books. They will stop going to prison! Young ladies stop writing these thugs, they will stop going to prison! Who wants a booty boy anyway!!! If they ain't getting booty, they giving In the booty. I worked in the system for many years! Why in the hell you think they keep going back? Booty!!!!
Well, 7:10, I am not quite sure what your point is. Routine drop-death or not, they have saved the taxpayers a nice bit by not living out their threescore years and ten, in and out of the system. If only more career thugs met the same fate...
Alot of you people are sick. When it's your kid in prison, or grandkid or sister or brother or spouse you will understand. Alot of you need to get off your high horse and come back to reality. Bad things happen to everyone. Everyone wasnt born with the same opportunities as some of you. Be thankful and be safe!!!
8:17, yes everyone is born with the same opportunities. Some just don't want to work for those opportunities. It is right there for those who are willing to work for it.
Check into how many of the thugs in prison even finished high school.
9:33 you sound like a complete idiot. Education has nothing to do with these "thugs" as you call them. Look at Christopher Epps, hell Martha Stewart, all the so called celebrities and superstars and high and mighty that do wrong that are educated, family has money and both with silver spoons in their mouths. Fyi I been to prison, 6 times, I'm college educated and know alot more than people would imagine. As I said. When it's your family behind those walls remember your words, ignorance and fearlessness. Murders and rapist I got zero sympathy for, but it's people that just don't have the opportunities as others. Think about it, if everyone was rich, how in the hell would the economy fluctuate. Answer that Einstein. You people are really behind. You'll get it back i promise you that.
It is perfectly possible to be on a "high horse," and in touch with reality, simultaneously. And 8:17, there is no such word as "alot." But you would doubtlessly retort that you "could care less..."
As for your rhetorical question, hmm Do we want the economy to "fluctuate"?
A guy who says he's been to prison six times is lecturing me about opportunity? Get outa here with that shit, FOO.
