No soap? No meds?

Welcome to the dark ages, likely brought to you by some redneck with sunglasses with mirrors on the inside. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 10:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Fuck them

They lost all their rights when they broke the law. --66.229.17.181 13:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Human rights are inalienable. Drag yourself out of the dark ages, sit in the corner, and polish the callouses on your knuckles. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 15:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry Brianmc but a murder and rapist has no Human rights. You call it the dark ages i call it Justices. They used up are tax dollars then as soon they leave the system they end up right back in it. They should not have all the little toys they get while honest working people are suffering.--66.229.17.181 15:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Then, in an opinion I will not refer to as humble, you are no better than the convicted criminal. Everyone has human rights. Treat someone like dirt, make them live in dirt, deny them medical care, and of course they will - upon release - think that is a "normal" way to treat other human beings. Jail is supposed to rehabilitate where possible, not just be "lock 'em up for X years then let 'em out to do the same again". --Brian McNeil / ^talk 16:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Although I disagree, I see your argument , but do you honestly believe all these people are murders/rapists. Some are probably people who have taken illegal drugs and never harmed anyone. Some might be like that 80 year old women who has been threatened with arrest for not converting her third bedroom to a garage (as it was a garage five decades ago or something).

I urge everyone to try this. Take a picture of Joe Arpaio, and photoshop a Hitler mustache on him. He looks awfully like a fat mustacheless version of Hitler, and holds alot of the same values. This guy wouldnt be tough at all if you took his badge away. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.59.226.106 (talk) 18:39, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

"You call it the dark ages i call it Justices. "

Youre everything about the new age that needs to be flushed down the toilet, people who rape and murder are products of this system of living which has owned the same justice system throughout, so technically its partly because of this justice system which causes people to mentally screw up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.59.226.106 (talk) 18:41, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

People who rape and murder are not like me. You offer no solution and seem to think this medieval torture chamber treatment is the answer. I presume you also are a vocal advocate of the death penalty; a measure that the rest of the civilised world has abandoned as it cannot be undone. Gandhi said it best, "An eye for an eye just makes the whole world blind". If anything needs flushed down the toilet it is attitudes like yours, they're from a different century, a dark time, and show a total lack of understanding of measures that can be employed to make people less likely to reoffend.

You claim it is "Justices" - I assume you mean "Justice". When you can't even spell it I doubt you would know true justice if it jumped in an eighteen-wheeler truck and backed over you. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 20:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I have a son that has been in the Maricopa County Durango and Tent City jails for almost 3 weeks. He has a serious disease that he contracted in Iraq during one of his tours called Leishmaniasis. Although they have been notified of the dangers and seriousness of the illness, they are not treating him. He has lesions that cover his entire body and his health is continuing to deteriorate. In the first week he lost nearly 10 pounds due to the poor quality of food and nutrition that he is recieving. His health is continuing to break down as his immune system is not being properly supported. We both continue to complain and have asked for medical treatment but are being told that they don't have the ability to treat his illness there. These open lesions can contibute to his ability to take on other diseases that can be carried through skin contact. They will continue to 'watch' him..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.58.119.107 (talk) 16:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
