Prisoners should never experience pleasure.

Depends on the crime. Rapists, Pedophiles and murderers should not-

Depends on if you want to show them other ways to gain pleasure instead of raping and murdering. You can't keep them in prison forever. So you suggest to put them back on the street only to slip into their old habits of gaining pleasure?

The double standards about violent video games also amuses me. Violent games are never to blame for violence, yet we can't have criminals play violent games? Which is it now?

You do realize that if yu rape someone you can get 20 years and murder is 20 years givin. Btw it seems you like murders and rapist more than you care about victiums. SWhy not send them to disney land with chains or or islands to relax would that make you happy?

Why not, I mean criminals(rapist/murder) aren't so bad they deserve to be happy like you and me. I mean health care when Usa's people don't have it. Mean it's great that taxes pay for transexuals medical sex changes which go for 20,000 it's all good because they all deserve the best.

Why not build a fun-house in a prision? It would let them relax and go out in the world not like  thug even though they will most likey just do the same cthing again because it's fun :D. Why not let the criminals go shopping?  Why don't give the prisioners some great food to make them less angry. YAY prision makes me want to kill a child :D I can go to jail have no more bills, free health care, video games , good food. I deserve this :) 

If you really believe that prison is so great with video games, why not go there? I would advise stealing a police car first, instead of rape or murder.

By incarcerating someone you assume responsibility over their well being. If you've watched any of the lockdown series you should understand that any form of entertainment is a welcome way to diffuse the high tensions in prisons. A lot cheaper alternative then to hire more guards to keep people controlled and separated from each other.

Of course victims should be treated better, I would hope more effort is spend on helping the victims then on prisons. And for healthcare, it might be a good idea not to throw everyone in jail with long sentences for minor drug offences and spend that money on healthcare and voluntary rehab.

It does not make me happy when prisoners live in comfort. It does make me worried when people are released back in society with no skills to deal with stress or how to make a normal living.
