The G-Rated movies thing can't really be argued with. The movies where you can gain the most from are those that are rated G. You don't learn any life lessons from The Boondock Saints, Scarface, The Godfather, South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut, or any other big name "adult" movie. It's a punishment, you committed a crime, you lose a luxury. (And since you wonder in the same comment if he's helping society, he's giving the society free labor, and improving society with his "slave labor")

Meanwhile, all this analysis about violence inside the prisons, creating such a dangerous environment, I haven't seen or heard much of that. Meanwhile I've seen on my different television programs where Arpaio walks through the prisons talking with inmates and not having any problems. Studies are great and all, but how about Arpaio's prisons?

Also, people can approach crime with the attitude of fuck them all. That's perfectly acceptable because people are different, if you go one way and try to rehabilitate and release, you're going to have some that just won't change and will come right back. If you just punish, some will leave, and then fight to the death to never go back. And in the middle you have people from jails from completely opposite ideas that never go back. Everyone is different, trying to find a catch-all for every single criminal will never happen.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
