Head of Indonesia's Anti-Drug Agency Proposes Using Crocodiles To Guard Prisons
HughPickens.com writes: BBC reports that Budi Waseso, the head of Indonesia's anti-drugs agency has proposed building a prison island guarded by crocodiles to house death-row drug convicts and says crocodiles make better guards than humans — because they cannot be bribed. "We will place as many crocodiles as we can there," says Waseso. "You can't bribe crocodiles. You can't convince them to let inmates escape." Waseso says only traffickers would be kept in the jail, to stop them from mixing with other prisoners and potentially recruiting them to drug gangs. The plan, reminiscent of James Bond's "Live and Let Die" movie escape, is still in the early stages, and neither the location or potential opening date of the jail have been decided. Anti-drugs agency spokesman Slamet Pribadi confirmed authorities were mulling the plan to build "a special prison for death row convicts" Indonesia already has some of the toughest anti-narcotics laws in the world, including death by firing squad for traffickers, and sparked international uproar in April when it put to death seven foreign drug convicts, including Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran. Despite the harsh laws, Indonesia's corrupt prison system is awash with drugs, and inmates and jail officials are regularly arrested for narcotics offences.
But it costs an arm and a leg.
And you have ready supply of it in form of other inmates.
This won't work. The crocs could actually be your way out. If you're really good, you won't even get your trousers wet :).
Oh no... it's the future.
In Florida they would be more likely to use prisoners to guard crocodiles.
One thing's for sure. I'll never traffick drugs in Indonesia.
Even better, feed them a few tons of poisoned meat...
Deal with reality - the world as it is - rather than ideality - the world as you would like it to be.
He's obviously never heard of "quis custodiet ipsos custodes". And who will guard the crocodiles? Should be fairly easy to bribe the guy who feeds them/cares for them so that he can help arrange your "escape". Crocs aren't all that aggressive when fed. And you have to feed them otherwise you'll end up with one fat croc.

Or, just use an aligator repellent: http://www.wildlifeanimalcontr...
Ammonia and human urine. I'm sure those will be VERY hard to find in a prison.

Or just shoot them. Bullets are cheaper, and crocodiles can't shoot back.

I'll bet you both of them at least drank coffee, which makes them drug users. Given the era they grew up in, it's probably at least 50-50 they smoked, which would add a second drug. And then there's always drinking, even if it never happened while they worked (which I would bet is true, alcohol is conducive to being drunk and socializing only, IMHO). So now you have 2 almost guaranteed drugs and one very likely drug.
I don't see acid specifically being useful for the active task of coding, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was useful to facilitate ideas or concepts for bigger picture thinking.
Let's see...putting out an idea, novel or not, to solve a chronic problem to get interesting feedback (albeit none that's ever going to reach the source), I'd say that the comment section here is kind of like penetration testing the system on a purely theoretical level.
So...why wouldn't this matter to geeks, whether or not one of them happens to be you?
Some people don't believe in fairies. I don't believe in The Patriarchy.
Much simpler to form an escape party of 20-50 fellow inmates.
You will be among the last to cross the moat. Inmates are cheaper even than urine, and in the melee it won't be evident who actually offered the bribe and who was the bribe. Hop a freighter to Hong Kong, build a new identity, start over.
Probably want to set up a simple pipeline system and back up the crocs with flaming oil. Yo do not need the prisoners' DNA.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
