Don't mean to open up a can of worms, but I thought this was interesting.. I'd never thought I'd hear prisoners wanting a death penalty, seems like it's borderline euthanasia.

maybe just me... but some people enjoy breathing. especially those who don't feel there's anything after death for them. hell, with the prisons here, a life sentence is better than lots of people's everyday lives. friggin cable TV, weight rooms, people get college degrees while in prison, etc etc.

Well impala's never been to jail. But I'm sure with all his expertise in the prison system he can say how awesome it is.

all I know is what I see in the media. so if they're setting up fake prisons with basketball courts and lying about prisoners having cable TV and getting college educations, then I guess I'm wrong.

The only state that allows prisoners to get a bachelor's degree in prison is Utah. And incidentally, their recidivism rate dropped dramatically.
