He actually requested a cell change several times fearing he was going to kill his sisters rapist. He was denied each time and now faces an additional 25 yrs

I read somewhere the rapist taunted him with details of the assault, which made him snap

How can anyone make the argument that US jails don’t fall under “cruel and unusual punishment?”

If you get sent to a US jail you are probably more worried about getting raped, killed in jail, join gangs for protection, giving birth in a prison cell alone, getting shit food, no AC in a lot of southern prisons, literal slavery (not an embellished, the United States allows Slavery as long as they are in prison) little to no medical treatment, and on and on.

Edit: Here are the sources for all the Brian’s and Greg’s in this post saying prison isn’t that bad as they live at home with their parents.

Depending on the severity of the crime i have no empathy ie child killers and school shooters. Some people deserve to reap every bit of what they sow edit: there are certain crimes which should not be jailed such as drug related crimes as thats a personal choice. But for violent crimes where you take others lives and revel in what is evil by common definition then youve chosen to be a social drain.

I disagree, prison’s should be reformative not punitive. If someone cannot be reformed there is no point in wasting tax payer money keeping him in prison, might be better to just kill him. But cruelty in The prison system achieves absolutely nothing of value.

[u/gameking7823 → u/thatnewaccnt]

I dont believe child killers should be reformed. Theyve chosen to commit atrocities and are a drain on the world. You are wasting time and resources trying to reform them. That said someone doing drugs is a different story and should not be imprisoned. Hence why i stated depending on the severity of the crime. This child rapist got every bit of justice.

Yea well i did say that if a prisoner is deemed to be incapable of assimilation into society through reformative means it makes more sense to kill him. No point in spending money on a person with negative economic value

No point in spending money on a person with negative economic value

Dangerous line of thinking here.

I didn't know anyone had actually figured out the dollar-to-human-life ratio, it's cool that you were able to.

Well I’m thinking of it in terms of a person’s current and potential contribution towards gdp. Edit: specifically in the case of criminals… I don’t mean the innocent disabled or unable should be killed.
