An incentive to criminals

For real? Is this real? Because if so, maybe I should commit crime and get free access on everything. It is like I am being rewarded for doing something bad.

It's actually an insane offer. May be he has some good connections in the upper level of judiciary system. This kind of connection applies as a power these days after money.

Hey there, It is by no means an incentive. The system is not close to sane, but what it does to prisoner is not insane at all. I don't think the idea of the judgement is to play the God's rule, doing to the prisoner what the mass wants it to be done. It has happened before, it was like that. What did we have? Lots of brutal murders, public murders, injustice costed many innocent lives. And, if you believe in the Bible, it cost Jesus's life, as well. That was the system in which people believed sinners were too evil to be alive. The idea nowadays is different. The murderer is a dangerous civilian. Therefore, he cannot roam freely through the streets. What does the State do? Lock in, hence the word "prisoner". He is prived from freedom - he cannot leave a specific place. It's not free food, free accommodation or free access to the internet. It's an imprisoned life with few - if any - luxuries. No contact with the family, sometimes no chance to see the sunlight, no books to read, nowhere to go. Food and bed are the basic needs. Sometimes not even these are met. It's a pretty miserable life, if you allow me to say so. And it's not free: it costs. If prisoners aren't put to work to pay for their own expenses, then society as a whole is paying for these things. I don't think we should play the major rule of judging what happens to each other's life. As I said, it was like that before, and it didn't work out. I believe each individual should be looked upon - their reasons understood and, if there are absolutely no chances of recovering that human being and putting him back into society, then he should be left in prison, but producing something that could make the world a better place and with access to a modest life. If you were given the chance to have free food, free bed and a free toilet at the cost of your freedom and of all of your life objectives, I doubt you'd go there. It's the same thing that happens with homeless people - but that would give a rather new discussion. Thanks for bringing this topic up. Nice discussion you've got!
