We Need To Stop Feeding Prisoners

Hear me out,

There's a major scumbag in my family who is usually in prison for committing stupid crimes. He's a total deadbeat and the world would be better off without him. What really makes me angry is that my tax dollars are being spent to feed him when he's in prison, which again, is often.

My plan is that instead of taking my hard earned money to subsidize his worthless life, prisons simply stop providing food.

It's not as heartless as it sounds. People would still be allowed to bring food to prisoners. If you have someone in your life who is willing to bring you fast food every day, they can do that, but the government doesn't owe you a meal, and you won't get any unless someone pays for it and brings it to you. And for the prisoners that no one loves, like the guy in my family, even they won't starve. Religious organisations are bound to pop up to feed them and proselytize to them. But no one has to pay to feed them if they don't want to.

I think starving your prisoners falls under "cruel and unusual"

This actually isn't a bad idea. Or some sort of prison service where you work for food.

>get framed
>go to prison
>wait for court date
>lawyer says your case is solid
>starve while in prison for something you never did

>badass hells angel takes all the good
>no matter how much food you bring, your loved one starves to death

Genius. You fucking retard

I think if we were actually pragmatic with our punishents it would improve everything.
>rapists and pedophiles get castrated
>burglars/robbers get their legs amputated
>murderers get their arms amputated
Etc.

the money to feed prisoners is a trivial sum. its almost fucking nothing compared to the prison, the guards, the guns, the security system, etc. medical care far outweighs the cost of food.

if you want to spend less on prisoners, just have less prisoners.

Why do we want amputees begging on the street. Jesus...

You forget. In almost all prisons, inmates are required to work.

So feeding POWs is a waste of tax money too

This sort of happens where you do manual labor and you get like some sort of prison credits, your family can buy extra credits as well. You get some for good behaviour as well I think. You can spend these on snacks and other stuff.

...

Wait until violent inmates get hungry and desperate. Escapes and the crime sprees that follow will skyrocket.

Rapists castrated is fair enough. But the other stuff we'll just end up with limbless beggars.

Yeah but the other guys can also not feed your men so its best that an unspoken agreement stands where you treat POWs nice and they do the same.

uh, "your" tax dollars will not even pay for the services you use during your life.

>he wants to starve his family member on Christmas
Reality check user, you're the scumbag. Loyalty is an important character trait, and you seem to be severely lacking in loyalty. I don't care if my brother/cousin/uncle was a rapist or whatever, family is family. You're a disgrace, and not fit to call yourself white (if you even are white genetically). Hang yourself

Rapists and pedos getting castrated (or really anything more severe than what we see now) will make them more desperate in their crimes, turning a rape into a murder. The consequences already put in place don't deter rape, why would stricter ones do the trick?

>this idiot thinks family is more important than morality

He married into the family. We don't want him.

The only sensible thing to do with criminals is deport them.

Putting them in cages for arbitrarily long periods of time is fucking retarded and I don't understand why people support it.

>criminal commits crime
>lets reward him with a sub-par NEET lifestyle

it is, you soulless piece of shit.

Make them farm. Organic farm. Nothing to do but farm manually. Plus gives them the ability to create something of their own.

We need a superjail.

Sounds very Republican to me, much like kick a homeless day.

>too much of my taxes go to support prisoners
That's your fault for not being smart enough to make millions, to the point where you can affort to pay extra to support others.

This is capitalism right? Anyone can become a millionaire. You're just not applying yourself enough.

this is how it works in many countries.

>That's your fault for not being smart enough to make millions, to the point where you can affort to pay extra to support others.
Right it's not a problem with privatized prisons and the lobbyists they hire.

In some african countries, 'mine not included' if you dont have family to send you food you will starve and die.

I actually spoke to a Zambian guy who spent four years in prison for poaching and he said he went 6 months just eating mangos. He got terribly ill.

This tbqf

Yes because everyone in prison is guilt and they are never any people who are framed or mistaken for criminals and deserve to be starved to death before they can be proven innocent.Also a better system is the one used in Zimbabwe,prisoners are allocated land and given resources to grow good and raunch cattle and chicken if there stay is longer than 9 months,if it's less they are given food by the state because they are not fucking savages like OP

>genetically
Family > morals. You're a piece of shit and no better than that father who sided with the prosecution against his underage son on false rape charges, both of you are traitors.

>repeat offenders automatically executed

Problem solved.

You're probably the biggest idiot to ever post on this board ever.

cruel and unusual is such a bullshit term. who decides what's cruel and unusual?

fuck off hippie.

After watching Lockup, it seems more often that the prison food is very basic and cheap already, and most inmates survive purely on buying shit from the canteen such as ramen noodles and chips.

t. redcoat

kek he still thinks his tax dollars go anywhere but some .gov faggots pocket.

it is not unusual if you do it all the time

>>rapists and pedophiles get castrated
Why do you think raping a child is a different crime from raping an adult?

OP, how would starving prisoners solve the problem of recidivism?

They would be rendered incapable of even the possibility of using their time to improve their situation in life and escape the cycle.

American prison needs to work on incentivising convicts to get their shit together and turn away from crime instead of placing them in environment centered around gangs and raping each other then turn them loose on civilized society.

>Implying food is the only cost
>Implying prisoners don't get fed shit

Not sure what's more stupid, you or your idea .. Food cost is nothing m8 in the grand scheme of prisons

So lets say us has 319 mill people who pay taxes.

among them, your contribution to the total tax sum is 0.000000000314%.... say your relative eats a 30 dollar meal daily. You literally only fucking pay 9.42 x 10^-8 $ dollars you fuck.. and for what? For an unlucky person who didnt have a choice whether has born dumb, stupid, or criminal.

the state only asks you for this laughable amount to continue sustaining YOUR OWN FAMILY and you complain? Fuck off C:

Aren't american prisons handled by private corporations?

Why not have the lifers duel it out in an arena for our entertainment pleasure? It'd cut costs because not all would survive and it'd give us some value back for our tax money spent on them.

>319 million
>Literally every single person in the US pays taxes

Just because the tax money is spread out amongst what the government spends it in doesn't change the amount each person is taxed.
>only a few pennies of your thousands in taxes goes to that one thing it's not even that much!
Fuck off retard

>Gangs and prisoners start blackmailing and extorting normal people to feed their prison population
>crime rates grow exponentially

why not just shoot the prisoners that are on death row?

We should just ship them to Australia like our ancestors did.

but then how will mega cororations make lots of money from slave labour?

>0.000000000314%
Wrong. You divded 1 by 319 mil, when you should have divided 100.
Make that 0.000000314%

>319 mill
WRONG. According to Google Almighty, there are 122 million taxpayers in the USA, so you might want to triple that percentage of yours.
Make that 0,000000819%

>For an unlucky person
WROOOOONG! There is not ONE person in prison, there are 2.220.300.
So make that 1,8184257%

You are paying nearly 2% of your taxes to feed criminals. This doesn't account for their bath, clothing, leisure and whatnot.

But hey, with those math skills, it's no wonder your debt surpasses 170% of your GDP.

Nah just make them grow thier own food. The prison govener could sell off half of what they grow which would make the prison profitable like modern fuidalism

>rapists and pedophiles get castrated
Being "tough" on rape and pedophilia is such a cuckservative cliche.

bread and water wasn't cruel and unusual at the time it was written.

bread and fucking water

ROASTED

Argie with the bantz today.

Good idea, OP. Might make double digit IQ's think twice before committing to a life of crime.

Yeah, roasted cell-mates would become a fine delicacy in times of hunger.

>born dumb, stupid, or criminal.

Do you go to prison while waiting trial or just jail?

Even if what you is say is true (it isnt, you economically retarded greek), I dont owe them a penny, you clueluess faggot.

That's why we have the right to bear arms dumbass

food is one of the cheapest costs of maintaining a prison

constant security, maintence, and payroll cost far more then a 10 cent dinner
