Slashdot Mirror
Running a Website from Your Prison Cell
Eh-Wire writes "Although prisoners Internet access is highly restricted, this hasn't prevented many inmates from getting around the restrictions with the judicious use of phone and snail-mail privileges to network with friends, relatives, activists, and associates to provide content to their websites. Some use their websites to badger witnesses and prosecuters, while others plead their case or phish for pen-pals. Some have successfully challenged their convictions through their websites, which complicates efforts by authorities to silence them. Websites domiciled outside of the respective jurisdictions further complicate the issue. Yahoo News has additional commentary on this controversial subject."
I don't want my tax dollars giving them high speed internet service.
"I try to understand how alarming it would be for a victims' family to see the smiling face of an inmate who has caused some great harm to a family on the World Wide Web looking for women to write to him"
HUHUHUHUH???? These bastards are in jail wooing women? FUCK NO!!
What is next? Having a laptop in every cell?
I say lets bake the fuckers. Lets set up tents in the hot Arizona sun, lets put up tents, lets make the inmates wear pink uniforms, and lets feed them hotdogs made with green dye. Lets stick black gang members with white supremasists in the same tent. Wait, I think some sheriff beat me to that one. I KNOW!! We'll put it on pay per view, it will be the modern day RUNNING MAN!!

I think that there should be dense, yet individual concrete sleeping areas that are extremely difficult to enter or exit from an inmate point of view. During the day, inmates should be taken to tent cities in the middle of the desert where they can work out and drink as much water as they can handle. I'm sure security logistics could be worked out by those more adept at such things.
They should get 3 meals a day, no need to heat them or refrigerate them as long as they don't go bad. No need for television, internet, or any other luxuries. Books should be at the discretion of the warden. I'm actually in favor of newspapers daily, should inmates want them, though I'm sure those could be used in some way to injure someone or help them escape.
Also, medical care should be BARE minimum. Nobody should be receiving organ transplants while serving in prison, or at least major/repeat felons shouldn't get them. Keep em alive, as long as it doesn't keep someone on the outside from dying. They're more deserving of it, I don't care what anyone says.
Harsh? Probably. When I see criminals roaming around free, and look at how bad the ones in prison are, there's no reason anyone who is dumb or arrogant enough to get themselves into prison should get cool freebies.
You suck, man. You have nothing better to do than make yourself feel smart by correcting slashdot grammar. You might as well start get in a fist fight with a five year old, man.
If you do it because you feel like you're doing anyone a service, you must be new here. People have been bitching about editor incompetence for eight years now, and look where it's gotten us. The editors are well aware that their grasp of the English language and keyboard skills are subpar, and they have shown that they have no intention of changing. Give it up already.
I think the typos, the sixth grade grammar, and the general idiocy around here are so ingrained in slashdot culture that fixing them would in fact be deleterious.
Can you imagine a slashdot that didn't suck? It would suck.

Sorry - wrong. Wanna look that shit up next time dipshit? In a lot of states, for felonies, it's permanant.
Do you ever go outside, or just sit in the basement masturbating to your socialist fantasies of free drug use? Do you have any conception of the lack of insight demonstrated by your statements, and puerile, invalid analogies?
The only remnant of our civilization would be a syringe. Imagine the alien archaeologists poring over that one.
In any event, you will always lose in the court of public opinion, which was my point.
HBI's Law: Frequency of calling others Nazis is directly correlated with the likelihood of the accuser being Communist.
Even at this very moment, the EU is seeking to ban the open sale of fucking vitamins. Yes, vitamins.
You think you're going to have freedom to get high? Right. The workers will always crush the lazy ass drug addicts that you favor.
So, revel in your ultimate defeat, asshole.
