Prison is necessary to prevent people who've done violence from doing violence again. I do believe that anyone who has been wrongly sent to prison/jail/detention center should be paid $1,000,000 per day by the government that sent him/her there to cover the emotional distress and time that he/she had to go through staying there.
Yes prisons should offer education free of charge to those that want it. Many people in prison haven't had a good education and/or good parenting. So the government should remedy their special situations by giving them free education. I also believe that prison officials should teach prisoners all the laws ever passed so they'll know them that way when they get out they can have a good chance at not breaking them.
No, violent offenders should not be locked up alongside non-violent ones?
Drug offenses should be treated as a health issue. And I think that other victimless crimes such as riding without a seatbelt/helmet, prostitution, suicide/assisting suicide, should all be legalized. What about the rest of you?
I do support the death penalty only for those prisoners that want to be executed instead of being sent to prison. Such executions save government money on keeping them locked up in prison.
I think that prisoners should be allowed reasonable personal belongings like educational, family, religious, and entertainment. For all we know the prisoners could be innocent.
I think the real reason for the Drug War is to get as many people arrested and turned into felons as possible to revoke their right to vote. There have been times that law enforcement officials have wrongfully framed people and accused them for doing drugs.
