Doesn't it make sense to ask about criminal records for those who are going to be, say, working with children or the eldery/sick people, though? Granted I suppose it's too much to hope that a child rapist would voluntarily report themselves as such.....

Cold and Ugly posted:Goddamn, man. I was conceding a point and inviting further discussion. Fun facts: it was the peace-loving, pious Quakers who first invented solitary confinement. The idea was that, left completely isolated, with only a Bible and his own thoughts, the criminal would of course turn to prayer and repent and emerge from the cell shamed and penitent (hence 'penitentiary'), reborn in Christ and ready to be a productive citizen. What actually happened? Well, they opened those cells to find blood all over the floor. The prisoners had apparently taken to mutilating themselves in order to break up the monotony. At first, perhaps, it was a way to pass the time. But then, when the wardens began to 'forget' to feed the inmates, it became failed means of survival. Those who were still found alive, were mentally beyond fixing. Speak their name and they'd just poo poo themselves and scream. Nowadays those prisoners at least usually don't have to worry about things like rat-bites, fleas carrying thyphoid, or being deliberately starved or chained to the wall. But anymore, we don't even leave them the Bible to read.

the great deceiver posted:Even mentioning the word strike or having a vindictive inmate tell a guard you were talking about striking would get you 90 days in the SHU and possibly result in a loss of good time. Even if it was unproven. I honestly can't imagine this will have much traction on the inside. At least they (supposedly) won't dump salt all over you and make you piss yourself so that the salt eats your flesh away anymore!
