Just think of all the benefits... - starving people are weak - less fighting and less threat to the guards... also, they'll be easier to abuse! - improper nutrition impairs brain function - keep them stupid! When they re-enter society they'll be easy to spot and easier to discriminate against. - food cost money - reduce our taxes by 0.03%!!!! Yeah, that'll be an extra couple bucks in our pockets! Buy a latte with the savings! - less food means less food preparation staff. Combined with the weakling prisoners we're sure to save even more money! - prisoners will be less resistant to disease! Turn every prison-sentence into a death sentence: YAY! I hope none of the super-germs that will surely evolve make it outside the prison walls! - While we're at it: eliminate medical care in prisons! Instead of nipping injuries and illnesses "in the bud" let them spread and fester until they reach epidemic levels. A yearly spray down with bleach (or perhaps a cheaper alternative) should suffice, after all, they're just prisoners. I've never been there, but I bet it's not the country club some of you seem to think it is and I bet 99% of you wouldn't put your money where your mouth is. How many of you would agree to spend a month in prison for $10,000? How-'bout-it: a whole month of relaxing in your cell, reading books, meeting new friends, and eating like a king for $10 grand? The potential for weight loss alone should make it worth it! I agree with most of the posters here: lets turn our prisons into starvation camps!

Execution is a bad path to take, as many false convictions have occurred. Perhaps a monetary settlement for the victims family? Regardless I don't think treating the prisoners worse than what we do is a humane solution, and I presume that that is our goal.

He's probably they same kind of jerk to sue MacDonald's for "making" him fat. ...my grandfather was murdered, but you know what? His killers have 3 square meals a day, a roof over their heads, guaranteed health care. What did my grandfather get? My grandmother? My Dad? Nothing but loss. So why do criminals have it so cushy?
