I say it will teach them a lesson to stop encouraging illegal immigration and treating our border like a joke?
Jazzmine: And you are a damn tree hugging hippy

YEAH!!! Finally someone who thinks like I do - APPLAUSE APPLAUSE!!!!!!! I SO agree!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dump the WORST of our prisoners off at THEIR border and secure our borders!!!! We’d definitely get their attention. Just empty out our prisons and stop our taxpayers from having to support them. Love ya man - think I’m gonna cry! Wonderful idea!!!!

Or look at this on what to do with illegal aliens:

George Carlin’s Solution to Save Gasoline:

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use.
The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down. Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq . Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier’s pay while he’s there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved.

i was wondering if anyone knew of a calling card that i can put on my home phone so that i can recieve collect calls from a correctional facility untill the card on my phone runs out…

What you do is its called Telelink the number is advanced pay i have the number 1-800-483-8314 you pay 25 or 50 and the inmate can call you at anytime. You just use your credit card or bank card and he/she will be able to call the house and it doesnt cost the house any money since you clearly already paid.

I am going to be starting the corrctional officer training academy in northern California pretty soon. What can i expect as far as physical expectations and what kind of book work is entailed? What happens in the academy?

Check with one of the recruitment officers.. I’m sure they would know more than anyone here unless they have been there.


The United States Department of Defense removed seventeen soldiers and officers from duty, and eleven soldiers were charged with dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assault and battery. Between May 2004 and March 2006, eleven soldiers were convicted in courts martial, sentenced to military prison, and dishonorably discharged from service. Two soldiers, Specialist Charles Graner, and his former fiancée, Specialist Lynndie England, were sentenced to ten years and three years in prison, respectively, in trials ending on January 14, 2005 and September 26, 2005. The commanding officer at the prison, Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, was demoted to the rank of Colonel on May 5, 2005. Col. Karpinski has denied knowledge of the abuses, claiming that the interrogations were authorized by her superiors and performed by subcontractors, and that she was not even allowed entry into the interrogation rooms.

i am doing a policy analysis on gang recidivism in california.
of the total inmate population in california (168,350) i found that approx 7,700 of them are gang affiliated…making 6% of the total inmate population gang affiliated
66% of the total inmate population recidivate…making 4% of them gang affiliated.
i am not sure if my calculations are correct. please let me know. and where you might be getting your sources from.

Too many. Why? Because of the worthless, criminal, reckless, senseless, conservative war on drugs. That simple. If the US Govt finally got common sense, and shot the DEA and all his members to death, and officially ended the war on drugs, there would be…. Like 60% less inmates? Think about it.

By the way, your method isn’t logically correct. One proportion isn’t related to the other, so you can’t take two thirds of the gang members and assume they’ll recidivate. ¬¬
Look more indepth in the official staistics (bunch of lies, but at least they’re accepted in "serious" or "professional" investigations, and will probably make your work pass the exam)

Lets say that a person was sentanced to 50 years in jail. It’s his first year, and a jail guard comes up and knocks him out cold. Will the inmate get acouple years off his sentance?

No, never! Instead, the prisoner may press charges against the offending officer provided that the correctional services will permit an official visitor (OV) to hear your grievances. In Commonwealth nations under the British English Law system, there are governmental civil service institutional structures in place which would hear grievances against HMS prisons.

The person in charge for hearing grievances for abuses whilst under HMS prisons (correctional serives institutions) or under government custody, are called ‘Ombudsmen’. The office of the Ombudsman will listen and will exercise the full force of the law in ensuring that substantive justice is adhered with. If there is some obstructions, obfuscation of the law, and the circumvention of the justice system, through the actions of Correctional Services officers, and the subsequent denial of all charges combined with a collective ‘neither confirm nor deny’ culture, a inclusive cabal exists within certain institutions albeit the correctional services. In such an instance, then your word will have to add weight with the support of an Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman is very influential provided that you situation prima facie is solid. No matter who heinous your crime and your conviction may be, under law, and this is based fundamentally on the fact that you are a rational cognisant human being, you have the right to seek substantive justice, notwithstanding, your incarceration and imprisonment status.

You could always appeal to the United Nations if you feel that you are banging your head against the wall.

Non-government intervention may come via Amnesty International.

After being sentenced to death, why do some many inmates continue to stay on death row, in max security prisons, on the state’s dime?

I’m not sure what they talk about. But I hear they all watch Oprah.

Do police go to public prison when they are arrested for crimes, or they go to special jails?
because you know, they are cops, and they not survive in jail, since most crimminals know who they are.

They go through the regular system, but are normally held in a special protection unit within the prison where they house other prisoners that aren’t judged to be safe in population. Of course the ex-cop can decline any special treatment, but I have never heard of one doing it. It’s funny with all the prison special on TV they haven’t covered this topic.

If they are in jail they aren’t gonna be able to pay child support anyways.

I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. What’s the point of putting them in jail? IF they had a job (big IF there, lol) they are going to loose the job because they are thrown in jail, so there goes any money that was coming in…. So, once they get out of jail, it will take them a month (at LEAST) to get another job and then you have to go through getting everything set up again…. It’s stupid to put them in Jail. I agree.
