a good start would be to adress the inmates by name. No, addressing them as numbers sends the correct message. They are not persons. They are inmates. As a prison guard, you should care about the inmates as human beings. If the inmates don't, why should correctional staff. They're inmates. Not people. The attitudes you're spouting is the reason why the U.S. has one of the largest recidivism rates in the world No, the responsibility for recidivism rests with the recidivists, not with the law-abiding. The only problem I see is that not enough of them are in prison, and that the inmates there are ever let out at all. 1: They're still people, first of all - then inmates. If you can't deal with that, that's your own problem. 2: The inmates doesn't, because the correctional staff doesn't. If the guards begun treating the inmates as people, chances are the inmates would treat the guards as people in return - and that's what you'd call a win-win situation. 3: The fact that the U.S. have a disturbingly high recidivism rate compared to other countries, shows that there are perfectly fine ways to avoid it - if one wants to. The fact that the authorities deliberately choose not to do so, gives them part of the responsibility for the current situation.

perfectly fine ways to avoid it - if one wants to. I don't. Recidivism is not a problem for me, since I don't commit crime in the first place. That others do is entirely their responsibility, not mine.

Just popping in to say hello everyone! 😀 Also; "As a prison guard, you should care about the inmates as human beings." Prison guards are hired to "guard", not "care". If they start caring, you start seeing lots more issues then already present in the system. Like manipulating favors via "caring". Prison isn't suppose to be "fair". It seems fuglyville is forgetting the crime that got them there to begin with.

Fug also told an MVS here to get mental help back some years ago.

I wonder what Fug would do if it was his/her loved one who was victimized?

I wonder what Fug would do if it was his/her loved one who was victimized? She would still stick with the criminals. I am pretty sure of it.

Most likely part of PTO forum & mentality. Was totally insensitive to those who lost a loved here,. even snarky towards them. Thru all the years fug has posted here. If anyone is desensitized & may need mental help is her the fug. I agree, she would still stick with the one who murdered her loved one, if that happened. I would not wish that on anyone myself, not even fug..

A clear sign that people should stop participating in executions or killing people in other circumstances, is when the fact that they're taking someones lives doesn't bother them. What's being done - for execution teams and armed law enforcement officers - to ensure that doesn't happen? they desensitze for a reason .. the human mind is trying to keep itself from being overwhelmed with things it cant deal with .. !! .. desensitization keeps them sane .. its a psychological mechanism of self preservation !!
