well let us see. harsh time led to only 37% of the convicts being re-arrested. what conclusions can we draw from this: you only spoke when spoken to, you had no cable tv and radio in your cell, you were in an a enviornment that was intended to get your attention ,"abandon all hope", was inscribed over the entry portal.. the federal prison system was not intended to be your friend just to punish and hopefully get your attention. ah, the good old days.

Only a university professor libtard would "grow to respect" a bunch of felons. They were there for a reason and were the worst of the worst. No reason for sympathy or respect. It does show how treating them like sh1t though helps recidivism rates!

haha, so your limited by your fear of these "worst of the worst" what if that was you, did you ask to be born who you are now? I did not, and am doing the best I can in the time I have. There really is near and far, and everything in between. These comments seem suprisingly stuck in the middle, to scared to think either way, so just stick with what your told, be scared of the bad guy. When in reality it is you who are the bad guy. the "human being" if you will.

No one is afraid of you little man. If you are not a poser and actually in the Q (not likely, they are not allowed access), you're a punk. Most of us out here live of lifes legally, ethically. We work hard, raise our fmailies and contribute to our community. You on the other hand turned out a felon and are a leech. Stop blaming your past. You made your own choices, punk. Good luck with the rest of your life.

P.S. Be careful when you drop your soap, or maybe you do it on purpose?
