Have you ever noticed that convicted criminals have more rights than you do? They have the right to not have to work for a living, to have cable tv, to get fed every mealtime, and so on to the point that they not only get free medical but if they need an organ transplant, they are put at the front of the waiting list. I have often wondered why this is allowed to happen! If we do not work, we do not get to eat and we do get free medical. Why is it that they, who have preyed upon society get everything handed to them. I have been told it is because it is inhumane to force them to work, but the laws of economics force us to work. That since we have locked them away, we are responsible for their well being; but why should we have to provide them with more than is needed to survive when we will not do this for members of our society that have not committed crimes. It seems to me that we do have the responsibility to provide just enough for them to survive and if they want more or better they could work and earn it. This would not only give them an incentive to behave in prison but it would help them learn lessons like "if you want something, you have to work for it" and some work ethics to go along with it. Lessons that would help them if they decide to re-enter society in a noncriminal life. They should never be put at the front of the list for organs, let them wait like the rest of us; they are already getting it for free while hundreds of society are dying because they can not afford the procedure. There is a depression coming so imagine this scenario. Due to a lack of money the government cuts aid to the poor all those people on food stamps have to do without (even the ones that truly deserve them, gas becomes a rare commodity so the government seizes most of it and people can not work and are starving or freezing during the winter and there is not enough to farm the food. The convict on the other hand sit in a warm cell and get three meals a day, because they have the right to be taken care of and they can watch as society dies for their comfort. You think I am kidding, but do a little reading, the laws give them the right to survive in such conditions, but you are not granted those rights, you are under discretionary spending; if you know what I mean. Have you ever wondered what would happen in a worse case scenario?
