[QUOTE="Mai, post: 14320, member: 255"] [b]Bush Admin Lax on Civil Rights Enforcement[/b] In the past year, I've had the opportunity to visit several civilian and military prisons over here. I think the system is in a sort of limbo. They say they want to rehabilitate the convicts, and that's why they have all these social workers and addiction specialists and educational programs. On the other hand, they don't make sure the convicts make use of these opportunities, or monitor their condition while in prison. Most correctional systems in the West say they want to "rehabilitate" the prisoners, but they don't go all the way. Personally, I believe that criminals need a multi-disciplinary, structred treatment program to even have a chance at re-integrating into society (I'm talking about real criminals here, not some kid who smoked MJ and wound up behind bars) and becoming "reformed citizens". But I have yet to see one prison system in which the administration really give the prisoners everything they need to change. Instead, tehy get stuck half way between the "punishment" and the "rehabilitation" approaches. I think the punishment method may be appropriate for smaller crimes and the smaller criminals. But those with criminal careers need either a real, decent treatment program, or a life-long "punishment". Doing both will only lead to failure and recidivism, as it does now. I like the idea of making prisons self-sufficient. It would take the load off of the government (or at least most of that load) and it ma benefit the convicts, beyond the obvious benefits of having food to eat and clothes to wear. StarLord: You asked about the conditions in foreign prisons. here, the main problem is overcrowding.
