"The Auburn system (also known as the New York System) is a penal method of the 19th century in which persons worked during the day in groups and were kept in solitary confinement at night, with enforced silence at all times."

Right, but redbox is great for people who consume less hollywood content than that, for whom a flat fee would just be a hollywood tax.
It has a reasonable chance of success with the people who already use redbox, but aren't using a streaming service. They could even sell the streamed rental from the machine; out of the one you wanted? You can still stream it! That would reasonably target people who otherwise would not stream anything, they'd just rent something they wanted less, and be less satisfied.
It would need to be lower priced for me to want to stream it, being the same price wouldn't get me there. I don't want to pause randomly and wait for a buffer to fill, or have the resolution change because of "squirrels" or whatever the excuse.
Right, you're conflating the "sovereign citizen movement" for what I am talking about. I guess you didn't know about it, so you just grabbed at something nearby with one of the same words?
Read Prinz v US, it talks about dual sovereignty of States and the Union, it doesn't even talk about Sheriffs except in the context of them being State or local employees. There is absolutely no reason to conflate that with what I was talking about.
Sheriffs having sovereign authority over physical security in their County is a whole different thing. This isn't a thing where the Sheriff can order laws not to be followed, that is just conspiracy nonsense. But when it comes to physical security of a law enforcement situation, the Sheriff can take physical control of everything and order cops to release people, back away, or any other sort of lawful order; including to disarm, if required.
And it can't be delegated, so he can only even order a few people around.
Right, right, but unless somebody goes and changes all the laws and regulations about how to run prisons, then it is neither cost effective or realistic to want or expect them to be run differently.
Wasting money because the law says so it entirely sustainable, regardless of efficiency, because they are given money to operate. They aren't asked to break even. How can people even tell the difference?
The idea was that punishing people would cause them to "learn not to do it" because of being punished, but that doesn't mean that it was a design goal to "rehabilitate" the prisoner.
As far as the founding fathers go, they didn't actually do anything other than ban "cruel and usual punishment." But lets be clear; that in preference of standard punishment, not some other thing than pure punishment.
Rehabilitation is explicitly not part of the job of US prisons.
A lot, maybe even the majority, of citizens have become confused about that; I blame television police and law dramas.
In the old days, the citizens understood that the purpose was to punish people. There was never any change of law where it switched to rehabilitation. That never happened. And yet, people's perception of what exists shifted somehow. But the institutional goals did not.
Can anyone think of a reason calls shouldn't be FREE?
Think about their poor relatives who would be under pressure to spend all their time talking to them. Some family contact is good, but a needy excess would push people away and lead longterm to abandonment.
It might not be the best metering system, but it isn't hard to come up with a mediocre reason why it might be good; and that's a much higher bar than you asked for!
And... you think they give prisoners bleach for cleaning the floors?! LOL yeah they probably get razors to shave with, too, and a healthy balanced diet. Sorry, gotta go, it is almost time for me to wake up from my nap...
No, somebody else is literally holding them prisoner. They're a captive market, but they're not the captives of the market.
Having a monopoly over a market of captives, doesn't make you their captor.
Furthermore, it is the prison administrators who restrict their choice to the one company, not the company. The company just won the bid, they don't have the authority to decide if there will be a bid that goes to only one company.
In fact, while the main thrust of the statement is correct, each part of the statement is literally incorrect.
Give it a little more time, and you'll figure out why I pointed out the word "the." Why would I say that? Would it imply that I didn't find any, or does it actually say something else?
I'm surprised there wasn't more information about your brain on Cruz. Or maybe it scared the researchers a little too much.
The liberals couldn't tell what the heck he was even talking about, and the conservatives fell asleep. So they had to abandon the study. And the Enquirer reported that Cruz cheated on the test 5 times.
Once you realize the numbers, it might not actually require gymnastics; except to go accusing people of it.
I didn't search for statistics for every year, but I did find that in 2007 there were 15,000-19,000 accidental shootings in the US.
Past Republican nominating conventions have had an attendance of 50,000 people.
This is exactly the type of situation that encourages gun accidents; lots of guns, confined spaces where triggers can get hung up and clothing and objects, people handling firearms at their vehicles to arm and disarm, and generally people handling firearms in situations where they would not normally have them. Add into that all the drugs and alcohol, and the general party atmosphere... if everybody attending was under peer pressure to open-carry, there would almost certainly be accidentally discharged firearms, and there would be a significant risk of at least one accidental firearm injury.
You can't read. Learn to read, then try again at writing. Did you check the link where it explained that it doesn't have to be digestible to be a nutrient, and to have nutritional value?

You're getting pedantic about something where you don't know the details, and the details don't support your position.
It literally lists fiber on the nutrient page I linked above. But you can't read, do you don't know that.
Futhermore, you ended your quote before the end of the paragraph. Notice the colon at the end of what you quoted? That means the words after that are connected, and important. And it goes on to say, "Soluble fiber, which dissolves in water, is readily fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active byproducts," but you can't read so you didn't know.
Instead of a minimum wage, they have a maximum wage (around $4/hr average). But the average wage is 93 cents/hr and the lowest is 16 cents.
So a cheap phone call at a discount rate of only $10/minute, they can talk to family for a few minutes a week. And that is only if they're not being extorted by other inmates for the money.

Who doesn't like giant stompy robots?
I would guess people in the vicinity of the giant stompy parts...
Yeah, just look at how people reacted when the Martian stompy bots arrived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Right. None of that contradicts anything I said.
So that's what that "volcano monitoring" stuff is about!

Because of how redbox rentals work, there is no reason to even consider the scenario of combined service.
Yeah, I saw The Martian for $1.50 lol

This is your brain on Trump.
I'm surprised there wasn't more information about your brain on Cruz. Or maybe it scared the researchers a little too much.

We are not binary creatures with on/off switches. So fucking stupid. :/
Agreed. The brain impulses are analog, not binary.
What I want to know is...
Human beings have the capacity to flat out ignore their 'brain impulses'.
What organ are you using to do this ignore thing?
Can anyone spot the logical fallacy in the above quoted post from Scott Adams?
No, but I can spot the fallacy in your statement. The first instance of the word "the." ;)
