[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4054027, member: 5412"] They have had TV in their cells since my Army unit toured the Leavenworth Penitentiary in the mid 70's. Our Company Commander was friends with the Warden. It's a medium security prison except for one cell block. Actually built by the prisoners over the years. When we went in full uniform with all the bling we found out why. The Army TW uniforms at that time were being sewed there. Every con there had the same uniform on that we did without the decorations. We were given full access to cell block C which was the lifers. 8am the cell doors open, they congregate in the main area with several overhead TV's playing. Content is regulated. I wandered near a guys cell that had a full library and personal TV in his 6X8 cell and was painting in some oils. Door was open. Told him his painting was amazing and after a few discussions, asked why he was in here. He said he killed everyone in his family, chopped them up and buried them. Well, allrighty then! Got TF away from that cell! We had lunch with the cons in a big lunchroom. It wasn't like TV. They got their food, got their plastic silverware, ate and went back to their cell blocks. It was actually pretty good food. They had big workout areas, schools, and jobs where they could earn a little money to spend in the canteens. Recidivism among inmates is still an issue. The conditions are not horrible. Prison becomes their life. Three hot meals and a bed a day without having to do anything to work for to get that with all the recreation they desire is a bad thing for an inner-city kid with no future? They get street creds and a new tatoo when getting out. We need to get back to prison is hell and nobody wants to go back. Lets get back to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's jail in Arizona where inmates were housed in tents in the desert just like our military did in the deserts of the middle east forced to wear pink,and ate barely sustenance food. The Recidivism was way lower than any other jails, believe me. [/QUOTE]
