That program can work...
I hear you Bros, I'm for it too. Of course some cases you gotta consider. should one day Congress pass a "Draft" law, lot's of Inmates will be going to the War, the less violent ones anyway. That program can work if the Individual is willing to work hard AND lead a decent life.Comment

Problems...
#1..People would call it cruel punishment
#2..What about the people in prison who are to old or un able to fight how is that fair ?
#3..Are only the winners going to be let out ?
#4..How many fights would they need to take part in ?
#5..Do you really wan't that guy who just robbed you coming out of prison a trained fighter ?
#6..What if someone dies or is hurt in the ring ?
Now your taxes are paying for this person for the rest of his life/or family restitution instead just for his sentence term.
#7..How would you regulate amature Vs pros ?
If you have a former pro in your prison you couldn't just let him fight some kid from the street.
The pro would be disallowed his right to fight and wouldn't get early release. That's not fair.
#8..Boxing would bring more ******** to the yard which can set off riots.Comment

1. I do not think anybody can unless you think Boxing is "Cruel Punishment" and plus, these are convicts and most people care less about them.
I also said that they would be paid as well.
2. They do not have to fight, each prisoner is given the choice to fight.
3. It would shorten their sentence, just like shortening their sentence for "Godd behavior", which they must display during the whole time.
4. MMMM, if you suck, you deserve to stay; nobody wants weak people back in society....kidding, or am I?...As long as you show a willingness to change your life, showing that you are disciplined by taking your "craft" serious, you can shorten your time. All fighters would also be required to take classes in education and other career jobs.
Boxing would really be used as a tool to help teach discipline which something the prisoner may have not had before going to prison. It could also make him a better criminal, but my suggestion of implanting a device which would kill him/or locate him wherever he was, would be a solution.
5. Please, who is being naive?
Government and others rob you every day.
6. Prisoner's will have to sign a release form. And maybe we should figure out how to prevent people from going to prison since it is costing us more money to keep them in there or should we not speak of that little secret as to why we/they want people in jail, $$$$hhhhhhhhh
7. First, you train to be a boxer, qualify, then fight on the big stage.
Pro vs. amatuer, come on, do you think the prisoner is in there for not taking advantage of a situation? {that is if he is guilty}
8. Maybe we should think about shooting those that are involved in the riots. If somebody knows they will be killed for rioting, then how many would be willing to do such a thing?
If they riot, are killed, we just saved us some money or at least room for a future prisoner.Comment

Yes, but this is also debatable since our judicial system is a bit unfair.
If you are Rich, you are more likely to get off and or get less time.
Petty crimes can get you 5+ years, while "White Collar" crimes like stealing from the people; get you an insignificant punishment.
Starting a War = bad press, no jail time
Smoking Weed = jail time for those that are poor-low middle class
Stealing because you are poor and hungry = jail time, especially if you rob a bank
Stealing from the "People" of the land = welcome to Politics and Business 101.
Yes, I can see the fairness in this
Should we not try to fix the judicial system?
What type of society do you want to live in?
Do you want boxing? Men beating the crap out of eachother?
or is boxing a "Metaphor of life" like the ancient Greeks thought
What does locking people up actually mean?
is it not a failure of society?
or maybe it is nature's way of evening things/keeping it balanced.
Then we would have to see if we could work with nature.
Many things to think about, but we all must question what we like, our intentions, our vanity, our life...Last edited by Benny Leonard; 05-13-2007, 02:23 PM.Comment

#2...So if someone is to old or sick to fight he just gets to sit and watch as other younger healthy inmates have the chance to fight and be released ?
That's what I mean by cruel
it's like hanging a sandwich in front of a armless starving man..Comment
