In Maghaberry maybe, but death probably a better alternative than a lot of places in the US.

True. Prison should be hard and punishing every minute of every day. Basic food provision, no menus or choice etc. and hard labour daily. No Internet, TV in a cell, computer games or degree courses.

Why? You want them to re-offend when they come out? Kinda makes me wonder what the purpose of prison is. Why anyone would want criminals to be even more dangerous on release is beyond me.

It's funny but in recent years,  Olympic and World Cup host countries (Russia,  Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc) have been  criticised for their attitude/laws/death penalties  towards  gays, women etc.  Yet the US has hosted numerous events and not a word about attitudes to same, and their  death penalty.

Remember seeing a  documentary  a while ago , and it basically looks  like  the US prison system is a  cheap labour camp for big business.  People thrown in jail for  having a break light  out or  a baldy tyre. Big businesses have a contract with the prisons so  they basically  are paying little to nothing  for labour
