The reality of living life in a jail

by Greg W Huffman

Created on: April 22, 2010   Last Updated: April 23, 2010

Living your life in jail is better than it has ever been.  Today's prisons deliver flat screen TVs, cheap health care, and basketball courts that would be the envy of any high school.  You can go to prison and get your college degree.  It is completely disgusting, but it is reality. 

I have worked in prison for eight years now.  Most crooks doing life sentences are not treated as portrayed in movies.  We don't beat them and make them live in a sweat box under the hot sun.  We don't slide a Frisbee full of food under the door so they can dine with the mice in their cell. 

Hollywood wants people to believe these things, because Hollywood is owned by liberals.  Liberals want families of prisoners to believe that their children are victims to the penal system.  I have yet to watch a movie that shows a victim of crime find out how criminals are treated in prison.  Imagine the torture of knowing that the person that raped you is watching a flat screen TV and paying five dollars for a medical co-pay.

Criminals run their street syndicates from inside the prison walls.  It gives them the feeling that they are still victimizing people while being incarcerated.  Crooks have the opportunity to get married in prison. 

They can have wedding ceremonies in the jail's visiting room.  Why do any of us abide by the laws of this great country?  You can be a crook and have everything in the world, except for freedom.

Freedom is the only right taken away from the prisoner of today.  I could sit here and write for hours about the many privileges inmates have.  In many cases, these inmates have more rights than the common man who is making an honest living.  Liberal America is ensuring that murders, rapists, and abusers, are given the best treatment that tax payers can provide for them. 

The next time you pay your taxes, remember how nice of a life you are inadvertently providing a convicted murderer.  We pay for convicts to live in a "resort" type atmosphere, while law abiding citizens struggle to survive.  If you think I am lying about how nice it is to live in prison, go to jail and find out yourself. 

If you are a victim of crime, know that the person that did harm to you is living the high life.  Someone needs to tell you the truth.  They are not doing hard time or being punished in any way.  We took their freedom and that is it.
