My Little Solitary Cell

According to a State panel, NY’s Juvenile criminal detention centers are unacceptably brutal and neglectful. Child inmates with mental illness go untreated, many are placed in solitary confinement, non-violent offenders are housed with those who are violent and for good measure, staffers routinely use bone breaking physical force on inmates. State judges are now actively avoiding sentencing youthful offenders to our medieval state detention centers. You know, on second thought I think this cartoon is erroneous in comparing NY’s notorious adult prisons with their juvenile counterparts. The adult inmates get a fairer shake.

you would think they would have the old minimum/medium/maximum prison system as the feds do. Jail should never be a happy thing but there’s no reason why someone who made a small non violent mistake would have to spend time with Bubba the mad man-rappist.
but thats what you have.. :-\
In a paradigm where a viable marriage is what results in children, none of this would happen. In a tribal paradigm where humans behave like rutting herd animals , children begetting children, absent any provision for their acculturation, absent any intention to nurture, the burden falls on the more productive members of society to collect & house these dangerous little gangsta wannabes. Police in South America solve the conundrum by sweeping kids off the streets and executing them. (I don’t advise this, I just mention it).
When sex and its results are controlled in some way, a culture emerges. When it is not, you get Bagaudae…and a police problem.
Smug Secular Agnostics just don’t get it.
Religion was invented because it was necessary.
What do you suggest, Father? Turn the kids into eunuchs, and then give them their manhoods back when they’re 18 and know how to use them? Or when they’re married? Society absolutely picked today to collapse, or maybe it was God that picked today for us. Because it wasn’t like there were ever children born outside of wedlock, or children committing crimes, in past generations. That would have never happened, no?
To bring the focus back onto the state of our juvenile prison system, there is no excuse for this. The state has a moral responsibility to care for the young and wayward that society have left behind. The kids aren’t wild animals, and they certainly shouldn’t be treated that way.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. lock-em all up. Kids need to learn at an early age not to break the law. When I was a kid I stayed out of trouble cause, frankly I was scared of jail. That’s the way it should be. Break the law and maybe your new cell-y will break your cherry!
You must have misunderstood me….
Families ought to be where all these kids learn life.
Not single-parent pseudo-families.
“When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the victims of intact ones.” – Peter De Vries
Not to worry Matt- the democrats are already starting to let drug addicts back on the street, without any provisions to treat them. You only came here in 83- so you missed the worst of having to step over addicts, and having your head cracked open if you stayed out past 9:30PM in New York.
A broken home is one thing. At least some attempt to make a home was present, if only for a while. The Left-secular model includes promiscuous unattached females and their sex-children as nominal “families”, when the truth is these girls/women never intended to create a “home”, but simply extruded the kids to get public funding, upon which she intends to loaf away the remainder of her intoxicated and promiscuous life.
These “Not-A-Families” produce 99% of our gang members, and swell America’s prisons.
I have to half agree with the Father on his last point.
I wouldn’t say all single parent homes have this occur nor are they detrimental to the child. It all depends, sometimes staying together for the kids is worse than separating.
It’s sickening to see such a lack of sensibility within the federal court system. Do they believe that by berating these children (which is what the majority of the incarcerated youths are) their peers will be taught a lesson? The answer is no; half of America’s youth is ignorant about what is going on within our government, nor do they really care.
There is absolutely no point in punishing these children to the point of brutality. Why should adults be given a fairer shake when they should be old enough to be in control of their actions?
It’s scary to think that the foundation upon which America was founded on is slowly being torn down through the actions of the very branch of government that is supposed to protect our rights as citizens.
did anyone see the banners about this.
