Prisons would have a fraction of their current inmates if it wasn't so comfortable for the criminals. Make them do hard labor and they will NOT want to return.
Why should criminals, who go to prison, get released, commit more crimes, go back to prison, and so on and so on, be treated gently?
The reality is, most of the criminals come from places that don't have stocked kitchens or comfortable beds. Prison is NICE for them. Go talk to any high school counselor in a major city and they will tell you the saddest stories. Multiple children sharing one bed (when they're lucky). Questionable people coming and going, sleeping in their house, harming them. No food in the kitchen. That's why the City of Philadelphia schools have to provide breakfast and lunch, and limit days off, because students will not get food on those days.
For so many of these folks, prison is a good deal. A roof over their head, their own bed and three squares a day. You get to watch TV and work out. You might have a small job cleaning dishes or folding laundry. The worst that happens is Big Bubba messes with you. Well, the same thing happens outside of prison except you don't get the food and shelter.
A record-breaking 61 murders in Chicago to date this year!
CONVICTED FELONS NEED TO WORK THEIR ASSES OFF ALL DAY DOING HARD LABOR and, I promise you, they'll think twice before robbing, killing or raping your daughter.
Added perk: They might not have babies they can't provide for and they might actually show up to school every day and do their homework! Then get a job! Education is important? Wait what?!
Problem solved.
