Ok, OT'ers,come up with ideas for a prison/prison system to replace the current problems of overcrowding and cost to taxpayers (no, this isn't my homework, I was watching an interesting history channel show).

My idea:
Build a huge open space (many square miles wide) a few thousand feet under the surface. All new inmates are placed on one side of this space, and provided with 1 gun (no ammo). The exit is directly opposite from the entrance (but a few miles away). No food will be supplied. In the center of this arena, one solitary ammo vending machine will exist. Inmates can only leave via the exit if they have been in the prison for at least one year, those who escape are assigned to the marines for a few years.

How it works:
a) Since there's no food available, the people kill each others (with guns, or normal fighting)
b) The weaker die, those with better survival instincts survive and join the army.



Your thoughts/ideas?

Not sure I would want the criminals with better survival skills to be out anywhere!

Amen gittyup, not to mention the fact that they will already be armed when they come out.

Hmm, ok, my system would create skilled killers, but that's why they're immediately sent to the army (maybe perminantly) when they win the game.

Anyone have better ideas?

I agree.

George Carlin thinks we should put &quot;all theives, murderers, and insane people&quot; in a huge walled in area of wilderness, and just let em form a sick lawless society and kill each other off. And televise it.
Pedophiles would get public beheading. Televised as well.

Bill Hicks thought we should &quot;put em in the movies!&quot;
&quot;For your crimes of murder, rape, and torture, I hearby sentence you to Wes Craven's next picture.&quot;

Works for me.

Thanks MisterT, that was precisely the type of well thought-out and informative responses I was hoping for.

dude wtf are you talking about? I'm not saying every person who commits a crime should go through this. I'm talking about the morons who are crowding our prison systems and being allowed to live - murderers, etc. Calm down and know what you're saying before you talk out of your ass.
