like bentham's panopticon, which it uncannily inverts, it demonstrates how 'humane' corrective methods that attempt to encourage self-reflection tend towards the sinister

it's one of those staring-you-in-the-face bits of etymology - that the radical, humane idea in imprisonment 200 years ago was a building designed to encourage prisoners to be penitent

haha I would have no expectation other than autogenerative torture for such an arrangement. really though I can only attempt to convey the futility of dealing with (or considering how to deal with) such a criminal in any rational manner

LOL at "America doesn't punish elites!" Europe doesn't CONVICT elites, does convict everyone else accused by the cops, guilty or not.
Show me a criminal justice system that works. I prefer the one that occasionally deliberately acquits people whose guilt have not been proven, but they all stink.

Lobbyists for the private prison company GEO Group convinced lawmakers to include almost $1 million extra in funding despite the fact that the Arizona Department of Corrections claimed the money wasn’t needed.Late last Friday, Arizona House Appropriations Chairman John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills) placed the extra funding into the budget because GEO Group’s lobbyists informed him that the company wasn’t profiting enough off of emergency beds it provides Arizona prisons.

Liquidators were unable to pay a small number of creditors, who were owed several thousand pounds.
A final creditors' meeting for Goonies Touring Ltd was held on the 17 December 2014 and the company was formally dissolved.
Watkins, 37, is still entitled to receive royalties and publishing fees for recordings, but cannot benefit from any earnings in prison.
The singer was also the sole director of dormant company Made in Hell Ltd, which has also been recently wound up.
The other former members of Lostprophets have been touring with their new band No Devotion after joining forces with American lead singer Geoff Rickly last year.

I feel that the expense of keeping yr nonces separate from general must be looked at in light of budgetary constraints certainly if that leads to a somewhat higher occurrence of such events I'm not for it but these are hard times and the money is surely better spent in local communities or easing the burden on the squeezed middle dont u agree nakh

Joanne Mjadzelics: Ian Watkins' ex cleared over abuse images
Speaking through tears after the not guilty verdicts she said: "I shouldn't have even been here - just for doing the police's job that they couldn't be arsed to do."
Ms Mjadzelics reported Watkins to police and social services in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 to raise the alarm over his child sex crimes.
But a court heard police refused to collect the phone and computer of Mjadzelics after she told them he had sent her indecent images of a "very young girl being raped".
