While the redneck side of me may agree (and in fact suggests that
the "chemical" method ought to involve something like pouring a
liter or so of concentrated H2SO4 in their lap), my real opinion as
to what should be done is to get the correction officers back in
control of the prisons (and not in an abusive or sadistic way,
either). If what it takes is keeping the inmates locked in their
cells so they can't get to each other to rape each other or kill
each other, so be it. If it involves a return to the practice of
"making little ones our of big ones" so that when they return to
the cell block they are too exhausted to commit mischief, so be
it. Perhaps someone else has a better idea of how to fix the
problems in the regular prisons . . . ?
Instead of the present incredibly wasteful and expensive prison
system just transport all serious criminals to a tropical resort
island and give them free booze, drugs and hookers for life. This
would be far cheaper than the present prison system, more humane, and
have a 0% recidivism rate since transportees don't get to return.
Less serious criminals can do tagged house arrest and community service.
