What about people who have life or 20 years?

What about a child killer or any murder?

Do they deserve this?

If I told you someone killed your whole family and they will put in prison were they can video games who you be ok with that?

I want to point out the topic says Prisoners.

The average person in jail has 6months-1 year oppose to prison were it's 20 years to life.

I'm curious why people are talking like these are decent people in there.

Rehabilitative is for rehab for druggie not for a killers and rapist.

I think people are not really thinking about this.

you think it's better to let someone vegetate in a prison until he will be free? not sure if this will be better for the society who has to handle such a guy then. and it's not as if their life would be super great in a prison because of some videogames.

and btw i found this http://www.bop.gov/news/quick.jsp :
