Soap Scum posted:HidingFromGoro - or anyone else who might remember - I know that you posted in one of these topics previously a really great list of solutions that you thought could make the prison system a significantly better place. For example, one item on the list was having prisoners make phone calls to cancel credit cards, pay off debts, and make funeral arrangements if they were convicted of murder. A trial for murder will take place long after the crime takes place, at which time the victim has long since had their funeral. While it seems like a good idea it just won't work in practice. Unless of course someone comes forward right after the crime and confesses guilt, but even then I have my doubts that the victim's family wants anything to do with the confessed murderer.

AmbassadorFriendly posted:I never read the list, but I assumed he was talking about if the person was a murderer and was sentenced to death In which case, doing all of those things makes a little more sense. I'm just saying that while it's a good idea, the "convict someone of murder" takes place on a longer timeline than "bury someone who was murdered" and doesn't take into account the victim's family reticence with having to do anything with those accused of murder. I say accused because the body will be dead in the ground (or as applies for cremation) long before a trial takes place (again, outside of direct confession). I'm just saying it seems like a good idea until you take into account the other side and the variable of the family of the victim.

Also MCSO is organized crime funded by taxpayers. Just wanted to put this in a different post.

Bibles are allowed because A) Jesus rules in the South B) Denying religion to prisoners is about the only thing that will actually be stopped by the court system. The rules may say "no staples or less than fully clothed women" but only Bibles will get through in practice. And the Bibles only get through because that's the one spot where the Prisons know they would lose the fight.

OK, maybe I was too general with that statement. Denying Jesus and Christianity to prisoners will not fly in the South. Anything else can be denied for whatever BS reason comes to mind (National Security will be used to deny Korans) but when Bibles are donated to prisons they tend to be granted with the express permission of the Prison Chaplin or are donated by people who will fight hard in courts because they want to make sure that the courts do not deny Jesus.
