Super prisons = dumb and dangerous idea



The LA Times story says "(Prisoners) should not be subjected to the harsh conditions at the supermax facility in Florence, Colo., with its 24-hour solitary confinement, no family visits and lack of access to the media." the Irish High Court goes on to say that such imprisonment, "amounts to a breach of the constitutional requirement to protect persons from inhuman and degrading treatment and to respect the dignity of the human being."

Read about the prison named ADX - FLORENCE

Bye the by.... it cost $20 to $40, 000 a year to keep a person in prison while it costs $9,000 to $31,000 per year to send a person to college.... I will leave it to you to decide which is more 'cost efficient' socially and economically.
