It has already happened in the USA Gitmo jail in Cuba. It happens everywhere.
And suicides create an unbelievable and horrible atmosphere in a jail as the spirits become uneasy and nothing is safe afterwards. Both the inmates and the guards will freak out if suicides are not controled both in jail and outside of jails.
Even years ago when the Buddhist monks strarted killing themselves by fire in front of the Vietnam gov center then it sent chills thoughout the whole world until the gov was begging the monks to stop it and the law changed to help stop the monks.
Gandhi did it by "fasting unto death" and he shook the whole Empire.
Human beings require certain standards even in jails or else the jails explode with madness.  |
Ok, but do you really agree with giving them so many rights? I mean is it really necessary for me to pay my tax dollars for them to watch BET and other cable? JPC do you even have access to cable? Many people simply can't afford it after food and living expenses which the prisoners also receive free. Sure let them watch pbs...maybe Arthur will teach them some life lessons...or magic school bus, but there is nothing on BET they need to be watching.
