So we're willing to lock a person away, even force slave labor on them, when there's a least a possibility the conviction may be wrong? How inhumane of us.
Instead, why not put the almost guilty in cases and pee on them? That way, at least they can get out of the cases and wash up after we've released our mighty flow of justice.
What of the crimes? ...[text shortened]... the whole justice proposition, and I'll be first in line to replenish my now-growing aresenal.
Or be peed upon. You could get injustly convicted for a crime you didn't commit, you know.

I believe the underlying concern here is that seniors would be better craftsmen at making shivs.
Excuse my swedish ignorance, but what's a shiv?

Oh, I see... Let's keep things the way they are but have the old folks do work for society at large, and have the criminals be... peed upon.

Very nice. Now I don't wanna grow old or become a criminal. What's my choices in life anyway?

I'd give an earfull to all the wardens walking me down.

When I got into the viewing room, I'd wait until they strapped me in and raised me up. Then I'd cop a JC on their smug a$$es and say, "I forgive you for you know not what you do." And then I'd add, "Oh yeah, I know where you can find Natalee Holloway, but I suppose you don't really care about that . . ." (roll eyes)
Reminds me of a time I was arrested for drunk and disorderly, after a street brawl involving some 'younger' assosciates of mine, I was actually trying to stop the fighting, but ended up hands cuffed behind my back, in the police van on the way to the station, been shouted at by the driver to sit down, even though I was in a seperate locked compartment.Feeling I'd been unfairly treated I told the driver that considering that I had actually been trying to stop the fighting that I shouldn't of been locked up in the first place-I was going to remain standing!That was until, he decided to do a 50-0mph in 1second stop!
This remembering I was cuffed 'behind' my back and not able to stop myself at all. So after a few extreme brake testings he realised I definitley wasn't sitting down until they came and made me which they didn't do until the station-obviously-with wanting to save time,taxpayers money and his and his colleagues energies. But all the way to the station I, in a calm, selfless-physical& emotional, and unhating manner(which, come to think of I am quite proud of, considering I can be the greatest hater of even the smallest injustice) proceeded to ask the driver if he believed in karma and cause and effect and eventually asked if he had any children for any of his actions to influence?
This all adding to his anger, by the time we arrived at the station, the enraged driver making the most of the new police cuffs couldn't have been more pissed off if I'd showed him photos of his naked wife/man?
But I did feel as though he was only doing what he knew and could not be blamed for doing it.Where as sometimes the more you shout, scream, bite and kick, the more laughs you hear from them, as they kick and knee you while your cuffed on the floor- this I have witnessed many times- first hand, so nonviolent protests can actually produce more reaction than the usual 'fight till I die' ones and this one above really got that officers goat, by what, making him think?

nice. My one drunken engagement with the heat didn't turn out as well. I was 19 then. I blubbered on and on about how pathetic they were. How sorry I was that they had wasted their life being cops. The kinds of statements that never make the situation any better.

Oh well, that's what 10 shots of whiskey in 10 minutes will do to you.

I think I'd put up an as good a fight as possible. Hell. No way would I let myself be led to my death. I'd fight every bloody inch of the way.

And then when they finally tied me to the table (or whatever they do), I'd spit on people an ...[text shortened]... on them, rape their women and burn their children alive.

I guess, that's just the way I am.
And no one would care....you'd be forgotten in no time....just as Tookie will.....

It's a fact that some convicted murderers and rapists accept their death sentence without hazzle. Why?
Because they know that they are the evil incarnate pieces of chit that the rest of society knows they are......or....that they are truely guilty of doing evil deeds and have come to accept repentance and aknowledge Jesus as Lord and shall enter heaven as their sins shall be white as snow and be forgiven....Tookie may well be with Jesus for all we know...or he could be shoveling the coals of Hell....only God knows.....

Or, they simply realize that everything that can be said and done for them has been, and so there's no point but to walk the mile.

What's that film about the Boer War which ends with the protagonists strapped to chairs saying 'Shoot straight, you bastards, and don't make a mess of it!'?
