What if you were the one wrongly accused?

ron, wrongly accused people has happened but is rare, and the possibility of this is much lower with modern ways of collecting solid evidence such as dna, electronic fingerprinting and higher numbers of fingerprints on file in the computer system.
What we are talking about here is multiple time repeat (habitual) offenders that have been given a chance time after time to find a job and maintain the same job for a period of time to prove to his family and society that he is willing pay his own way instead of stealing and robbing to pay his way.

David has some good logical ideas, but the problem I see is that he said we should build them an Island.
I think they should build their own Island.
But I do think we should give them some building materials to work with.
This is my idea, Put them in a Helicopter, tie 3 large cement blocks to each leg.
Put two 60 lb bags of quikcrete in their arms, Oh what the heck, make it two 80 lb bags, we want to make sure they have enough.
Fly them to dead center of the Bermuda Triangle, drop them out of the chopper with their materials and let them build their Island there.
I choose this spot because I don’t think they’ll have to worry about a lot of pesky Neibours there.

Well, maybe I was being a little cold about this in my other comments.

And then there’s the Philippines. More thousands of islands, good chance some of them were recently swept clear of population by tsunamis, but we could check with the Philippine government to see if they had any they wanted to rent out.

Closer to home we could make artificial islands by going south of Louisiana 30 or 40 miles where the water is still only 8 feet deep or so. Dig mud and pile it up the same way they used to make roadways around Houma. Pile it up in a circular path until it is high enough to block incoming gulf water.

Pump it out and Voila! another New Orleans! sadly without the French Quarter. They really should dredge out the river every so often, too and that would also provide material for our inmates to stand on.

For that matter, consider the proposed landfill upstream of us. We could just ship them all the waste from the nation, build their artificial island higher and higher and occupy them sorting it all for the good of mankind. They might have to move when it got over five thousand feet high but good up until then.

Part of keeping a safe society is removing the capacity of criminals to do harm – like when they’re behind bars.

Incapacitation. When we stop doing that, you can be sure that you’ll see a swift rise in crime and a lot of truly innocent lives lost.

When everyone agrees, we can start making the changes to make a jail become a jail again.
Jails now have all the comforts of home. TVs , games, 3 full course meals.
It’s a rough life huh.
This is why we have so many repeat offenders.
Their outlook is this.
“Oh well they caught me, I guess I’ll have to go to my home away from home and eat and watch TV and play games for a while, at the taxpayers expense, hah! hah! hah! I knew that at worst case I could rob them and get away with it “.

How long has it been since you saw a chain gang?

We need jails to become the Dungens they used to be.

Again I say, It’s cold but it’s reality.

The population that is there is just scientists i do believe…i could be wrong. But if so…just abandon those posts for good and put the prisoners there. I’m pretty sure they would not be able to get off that island/continent.

I don’t think the Human Society would allow this, Penquins and Polar Bears will be pretty ticked off if we throw trash like this in their domain.
