    That's what I mean by cruel
    it's like hanging a sandwich in front of a armless starving man..
    Not everybody is cut out for boxing.

    Younger, healthier inmates = better chance of staying alive and on course

        That would be one of the worst ideas ever implemented into the criminal justice system. You'd have serial rapists, murders, and drug dealers who hit the gym and boxing ring just to get back into the street to do what they loved to do. Would crime go down? No. Would all these men clean up their lives? No. You'd just have the biggest bastards with the best boxing skills back doing what they always did.

        It'd almost be encouraging criminals to become super-thugs bristling with muscles and fighting skills. Bad idea. But I see where you cam from...I guess.

          review prior posts for details

          and if we think they could not change their lives around, we should start executing instead of waisting money

            We would have to figure out who is allowed to fight and win their freedom (which would be to shorten their time), since Child-******er can go **** themselves. In fact, I should not even have to bring them into discussion since they should be ass-****d until they die.

            The money earned would be also divided: some goes to community building (for child youth); some goes to the fighter for when he gets out, and some goes to other options.

            Not all Prisoners are "born badly"...maybe with some direction, some money, some love, they could turn their **** lives around.
            I have never done a study of my own, but I have heard/read that many Prisoners just do not know what to do with themselves when they get out. They end up back in their old neighborhoods, often having trouble finding jobs, lower self-esteem, learned little in prison in how to get their lives on to the "right path", etc. Only to end up back in prison.


            We could also put a device into their brains so if they **** up, with a push of a button they would die. I just watched MI 3
            this idea kind of sounds like this boxing movie I watched a while ago, called Penitentiary, and just like your idea, prisoners fought for their freedom.

            as far as the idea goes, I'm skeptical about it, it some ways it works and other ways it doesn't. If this idea was to happen, it would have to done on certain terms.
