You can buy a tablet at the commissary for 140 bucks that allows you to play video games, music, and books. Even allowed for those serving life in prison.
Yeah, that’s not how Federal Super Max works. In Federal Super Max you are literally confined to a tiny cell that isn’t much larger than most big home’s walk-in showers, just enough room for a small hard bed and a squat toilet in the corner with a sink, for 23 hours of the day. For one hour, they are allowed (with extreme supervision, being escorted to and from and being searched at every stop) to go into the recreational area by themselves for exercise. Then straight back to that tiny cell.
It ain’t a cakewalk and most people who enter federal super max go literally insane. I suspect if you took the guys who spent 1 year of their sentence in Super Max and offered them a chance to eat a bullet, they probably would choose the bullet.

Stop. Go read up on Supermax prisons. This isn’t reality you are spouting
We have disagreement here. I’m for capital punishment and believe Biden shouldn’t have interfered.

Not in Super Max you can’t. And the vast majority of State max level prisons don’t work like that either. They’re always on lockdown as a policy.
You’re talking about the super low security facilities. And it’s not like they have $500 gaming systems to play on. It’s more like they have access to a library and may have access to closed circuit TVs in the recreation area.
There’s a reason dudes who go to low level prisons come out jacked as hell. Unless you like reading (and they don’t just let you read what you want, you basically have to explain to them why you’re wanting to read something and it had better be related to some sort of technical skill or educational program or denied) you’re only other way to relieve stress is to work out. And most of them choose to do that. Since its the one thing that keeps you sane.
The main difference between low security and Max facilities is the policy around free time. In Max, whether federal or state, the entire facility is on constant lockdown and lockdown rules apply. Low level facilities give you a lot more freedom, but its not comfortable and that stuff will go bye bye if they have to go on lockdown.
Strongly disagree. Trump likely would have let the executions proceed, as he should.
Matter of fact, the only interaction with other humans a prisoner in Super Max gets is with their guards. And the guards are trained in such a way that they never befriend them or become close to them in any kind of way. They escort you to the recreational area, search you, bring you your food at assigned times (down to the second, it’s very regimented), and pick up your tray and any leftovers at a specified interval. That’s what drives guys insane there. No matter how “evil” a person is, they need some sort of human contact to stay in touch with their own humanity, who they are as a person. Super Max denies that to you by being designed in such a way that you become a number and a statistic, nothing more and nothing less. Your name doesn’t even matter anymore. Your age, your likes and dislikes. Stuff that in a low level prison you can discuss with other prisoners and even guards (while low level guards are trained not become super close to prisoners, there is a bit of a relationship that always develops just because of how humans confined to the same location tend to be). In Super Max, you are nothing. And that drives men insane. Any self worth and pride is destroyed as you are literally abandoned by society, not even acknowledged for the criminal acts you committed to get you there in the first place.
I’m not saying to feel sorry for them. But let’s be realistic here. If I was offered the choice between a bullet, lethal injection, electric chair, you name it and life in Super Max, I’m picking death every single time.
The hypocrisy of libs here, especially Biden who professes to be Catholic, is that when it comes to ending the life of an innocent unborn child - no problem. Yet feels compassion for people who are mass murderers.

yes it does
if he didn’t believe in it he should have commuted them all. That would be a moral stance. Allowing the ones to die who committed the most woke aggrieved crimes while commuting child killers? He’s a piece of ■■■■■

I’m impartial when it comes to the death penalty. What you said or the DP is perfectly fine with me. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to commute anyone’s sentence because they are not worth the cost of keeping them alive.

The phrase “Crime and Punishment” has no longer a meaning. There is only crime. Punishment is a deterrent. Cold blooded killers and mass murderers shouldn’t be a taxpayers burden for the rest of their miserable lives. Once convicted these meat sacks should be marched up a gallows platform and swung publicly or fried on ‘Ol Sparky. It’s my opinion don’t hate me.

Where was this taught? It’s a preventative and not even a good one. It’s not a deterrent.
Not in lib school that’s for sure. And you’re wrong.

I will never understand that.
Compassion for murderers and just a cold heart toward purely innocent unborn babies. 
Biden falls far far short of being a good Catholic in a great number of ways.

Prove me wrong. Criming isn’t logical. In order to crime people have to rationalize etc. one of the first thing they rationalize away is being smarter than the last guy and that they won’t get caught……
I am not wrong. The one argument that WildRose made on this board that made sense was that high incarceration rates reduced crime in 90s and 2000s and he was right when he said that it was caused by the people simply not being on the street. It doesn’t actually stop all crime but what it does is reduce the population of those who are likely to crime. That’s not a deterrent.
You will hear crickets from the murder defending left. In every school shooting thread, they cry and wail about dead children while they defend the biggest child killers of all. Abortion clinics.

Always interesting to see people who don’t trust the government to do much of anything trust them completely to take someone’s life.
Well it’s not actually the government. It’s the people, through a jury, that determine that.
The death penalty should be reserved only for those who committed the most egregious crimes. Not for deterrence or anything like that. But because some actions are is horrifying that you have thrown away your right to life by committing them. It’s the people’s Avenger.

Twelve people made the decision. The government decided they know more than twelve citizens who set through the trials.
