      Yup, fine community policing, alright...Meanwhile 170 police and various L.E.O.'s armed with pistols, LONG GUNS and BODY ARMOUR vs. one small short woman with no gun and no training made them all look like cowards. She still gets threatened for talking to the media. Those officers continue to tell proven lies about their heroism on that day. She still gets threatened by those same officers for talking to the media. They say they'll have her kids taken away, have her house burned down, and her very life is in danger if she continues to talk to the press. Think about that for a moment. #Uvalde.

    I volunteered in prisons for nearly 20 years. These supermax prisons do not make the public safer. With no programs and no human interaction these inmates literally go insane and there. Most inmates eventually get out of prison. People don't realize this that very few people die in prison. I would rather have inmates that have gone to prisons that are run like a small city where they have opportunities to learn skills and take college classes and other programs so that when they do get out they are safer on the street and less likely to be repeat offenders.

      Your right though, that place is for terrorist and mass murderers. Its only the worst prisoners from maximum Security prisons that end up in the Supermax.
      When your all ready doing life they cant punish prisoners with more time. So solitary confinement is the only was to deter prisoners from murders guards or other prisoners.

    Prisons always have a possible means of escape. It could be from help from a guard, a helicopter, sneaking out the front door in disguise, taking hostages, hiding inside a vehicle/trash truck, etc. The only exception in places that allow no visitors, no outside rec, and 24/7 surveillance on each prisoner at every moment, such as Colorado Super Max or Guantanamo Bay., but those rare types are the only outliers.

    The Razor wire. Here is exactly why it works. It must be set and clipped in a certain looseness. It looks to be very stable. One foot touching any of the wire, attracts all of the other wire around it, venus fly trap style.
    One of my Sergeants, Scott Grundeis, had to extract and escapee, who had tried to step into the three loops of razor wire, at the top of a twelve foot fence.
    He had made his way to the top, and there, decided, he could jump, up and over the top loop, land on the other two and spring off of those strands, assisting his forward momentum, he would somehow make it over the outer fence?
    The inmate told me this as we rode to the hospital in the ambulance. His right foot was dangling from his ankle bones. Nothing Personal Strictly Business

    The federal prison system has been privatized and is now a profit motive corporation with the introduction of mandatory sentences. I heard that housing these criminals is costing the federal government some 300 billion dollars per year which is more expensive than the Iraq war at 130 billion. So, 300 billion is nearly a billion dollars a day. We can't afford to continually provide free room and board and showers and 3 meals a day plus weight training to repeat offenders of serious crimes. I do not know what these counties and states pay but I'm a sure it is some 30,000 per year per inmate. So, we are paying 30,000 per year to feed and house criminals compared to social security payments which are 12,000 for the retired and disabled.
    So, these prison corporations are making huge profits at 30,000 per prisoner. We cannot afford 1.5 trillion dollars every 5 years or 3 trillion dollars per decade, all tax based just to keep dangerous repeat anti social law breakers off the street. So, we are going to have to examine this criminal justice system very closely and make hard decisions as a fiscally responsible state with much more forceful means and new laws and dispose of these multiple appeal processes. Prisons which are extra heavy facilities with reinforced doors and guard payrolls and prisoner expenses are extremely expensive compared to good standardized public housing. Good public housing is far far less expensive than prisons and would serve a much greater need. Good public housing is far less expensive. This prison system is far too expensive. LLXIIX77

When my brother was in it was the COs who brought in most of the contraband for the inmates. $100 would get you a pouch of tobacco and rolling papers. The female guards were prostituting to the inmate and that cost was $20.
    What the guards did was have the inmate get someone on the outside to buy a money order from the post office in the proper amount. Then fill out the money order payable to someone other than the guard and mail it to an address not connected with the guard. After the guard got the money order, the inmate got what ever was agreed upon.
