I was just watching a special on A&E on worldwide correction systems, and was faily amazed at what I saw when China was introduced.
Now, China does have slave labor camps with horrible conditions, mostly for political prisoners, but they also a very effective prisons for other criminals.
They seem more of a military camp than a prison, at least in American terms, and I tell you, it gets the job done. The average return rate of freed prisoners is a mere 4%. FOUR PERCENT!! I believe in the US is it is over 50%. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Strict laws are inforced, in a strict environment, but everyone knows their place. Guards do not carry weapons, and neither do inmates. Prisoners are not allowed freedom of expression, something that very effectivly deters conflict over differences among inmates.
They believe in rehabilition through labor. 8 hour work days. Time to relax and socialize. Very healthy meals. Very clean environments, and an overall safe area.
I honestly think the US justice system needs to look at this way of rehabilitation.
The US system is horrible. Prisoners are given far too many rights, priveleges, possessions, etc. It is just like a home with bars. All the problems that they had on the outside, are just carried into the prisons. Gangs. Muders. Drugs. It's all there, because ths system sucks.
Although the ACLU serves some very good purposes, it also undermines certain objectives. Prisoners should have no rights. We've taken away their freedoms, so why should they have anything else? Take away their belongings. No posters on the walls. No pictures. Nothing. Make them work. REHABILITATE THEM! A person who could barely afford to live on the outside, would not think twice if the chance arose to go back to jail. Everything they could want is there.
The United State's version of rehabilitation is horribly tainted. There needs to be order, rules, discipline, strict enforcement of laws. But this is not what happens. It's a crock of shit, and a waste of MY money.
You make jail a place they don't want to return to. You educate them on how to function with society in an effective manner. Set them with opportunities after they are released so they don't go right back to their old ways.
I'm telling you, there are so many things that need to be improved, I just am not in a position to do something about it. Stupid system. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/mad.gif
