Does anyone else think that jail is a wrong punishment?

Question

Ok so 2 years ago my boy friend went to jail for rape and i knew he was innocent and i even testified but no one believed me. I visited him is jail for the next year and he told me how he was being raped but the other cell mates and beaten and hurt he told me he would not survive. I hired a privet detective to check out his case and it landed out he was framed and 5 days before his release he was beaten to death. I cry almost every day for him. I understand that some people feel like the people in jail deserve to be hurt but not all of them r guilty i think we should do something i want to change it. I want to assure some decency for the people stuck there.... any one see wat i mean anyone agree?

Answer 1

I do and dont agree with u...

Letting him die in there was wrong

but what other punishment can their be?

we have to keep the people who can hurt others away from normal civilization and its not like if we tell them to stop theyll stop... thats not how it works

Im sorry

Answer 2

I feel your pain, but thats just how prison is. Nothing you can do to change it. You can't tell the prisoners " don't rape people anymore, pls "

Ain't gonna happen.

Answer 3

I am so sorry for your loss. It just goes to show how screwed our justice system is. I know there are innocent people in jail now and that there are people who deserve to be there. Unfortunately, this is what te system is like now. It's people like you who are determined to prove that certain individuals are not guilty but rather innocent of the crime they supposedly committed. I am once again sorry and hopefully in the future, we can save the innocents.

Answer 4

im sorry for you loss

one of the main reeasons for his dealth is that the one thing jail mates hate the most is rapest.

Answer 5

Why didn't you hire the private detective before he even went to prison?

Usually when someone shows signs of being beaten and hurt, they put them in solitary. It sucks, but it sucks less than being beaten to death.

I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend, but I'd kind of like to know what you would suggest as an alternative. It's kind of hard to make a bunch of convicted criminals be nice to each other, you see.

Let's hear some suggestions. Any punishment we come up with will affect the guilty and the falsely accused alike.

Answer 6

I agree   ---- The prison system is a "business" ---- it is a fake, a joke ,when it says it has programs to allow prisoners to re-enter the system.

I have a lot to say , but not here in this forum --- for I'm sure I would "break" countless rules of conduct.

More Americans are in prisons , and jails across the U.S.A. , and the numbers continue to increase each year.

Prisons are being "run" more, and more by private companies --- Like "CCA" (Corrections Corporation of America" --- who, by the way --- raise their own flag up the flag-pole ,along with the "Stars and Stripes".

I shall stop now --- while I'm ahead.

E-mail me if you want.

Hang in there -------------.
