Most people like her grew up in small towns and dont know what gangs are

[Valthecatlover]

I resent that. I have lived in both urban and rural areas in my lifetime, and I know from first hand experience what a "gang" is.

this is an awesome idea unfortunately solitary confinement is punishment inside of punishment thats the point..its a severe time out.. if u put a web cam then its like killing the whole point of solitary confinement...u have an awesome idea, again, unfortunately that won't probably happen till a like 50 years from now..and thats if we start now. :) oh and one last thing @ 1:33 it looks like u had real bad ADD lmmfo srry im add so i notice that stuff lol

You are a very compassionate person

It could work... sometimes driving the kids in from a bazillion miles away to see their other parent in prison is hard.

you realise these ppl are in PRISON! What a meathead.

Let's start executing drug dealers and murderers like they do in many countries, it will ease the burden on tax payers

[nhoverhaulinfan2]

jail people need to have less stuff, no webcams

[smokinsax18]

Very terrible idea. I have worked in a medium-maximum state prison for years and have seen it all. The only prison that really works is one that keeps offenders busy all the time, accountable for their actions, and enforces strict and unbending rules. It is simple, inmates are given and inch and they take a mile. Criminal thinking is embedded in their minds and most cannot turn their lives around. Sad but true fact, most people end up going back to prison.

I am a correctional officer at a medium-max state prison. Webcams in prisons = BAD IDEA.

1. These are inmates and are in prison to be punished, not pampered.

2. Webcams would be abused, just like every other privilage already in prisons

3. Solitary Confinement is one way to keep extremely dangerous individuals from hurting others and/or themself

4. Their 'buddies' generally get them in trouble in the first place, old relationships like these are encouraged to be dropped to deter further...

Bad Idea Period

[MrLas74]

I have been to jail many times in the past for drug use. Thankfully I finally got off drugs and have stayed out of jail because of it.

There is no way the jails are going to give inmates computers and webcams.. You don't even get to use a phone in jail whenever you want to and when you do use it , it's when "they" decide you can and it costs the person you are calling $15 to $40.00 for a 15 minute phone call. They make a lot of money off phone calls.

Good Idea .

[sensibyrd]

They are obvoiusly in jail for fucking up in the first place. Inmates dont deserve these things. Webcams are fucking luxuries! I dont even like the fact that taxpayers pay to house and feed these idiots. Its estimated to cost roughly 50K a year for one inmate,yet we have people busting their asses just to earn a little over half of that, who feed families on that. Families should pay to feed inmates and buy luxuries like pillows and blankets in prison. None of us are given shit for free!

[blackpanthern7]

i really would like to know what urban gangs have you come across....
