Fitty idiotic governators!!

yeah that's your dumbass rock stupid conservative policy at work, putting non-violent and drug offenders in with hardcore violent criminals to 'punish' them.

the same fucking mindset that leads to a ban on cigarette smoking.

This is nothing new, Smoking was already banned inside of California State Prisons years ago. The only place inmates could smoke was out in the yard, all this does is stop that too

are you for real dude?

Yea no Shit.. agreed

yeah we should be much more like China, Russia and Zaire. Once someone commits a crime they're no longer human, after all, and we can do whatever we want with them. Maybe we should sterilize them and use them as guinea pigs for our medical research.

Way to twist what I actually said. Bravo. :thumbsup

A lot of this type of mixing is due to lack of space. The prisons are bursting.

Thats why when I see all the panic about going to jail over a 2257 regulation error it makes me wonder where the fuck they would put all these people.

U gotta be some serious addict to compare cigarette ban to this :1orglaugh

How is that a bad move on his part? He looses 1.3 million in sales taxes, but gains back a huge portian of the 280 million they are spending on tobacco related illnesses in prison.

Seems like a bright move to me. The prisoners might not like it, but fuck it, but shit... they are in prison.

yeah I'm for real. It's VERY EASY to get thrown in prison these days, and once you're in the system they never let you go. Any little thing you do is a parole violation and you're right back inside. The guards are just as criminal as the convicts. Parole boards are politically appointed and only grant parole when they need to clean out the prisons. The Penal system is the most corrupt venal institution in the US today.

Did you know we have more people locked up as a % of the population than just about any country in the world? Did you know that our prisons are already just about the worst in the world? No of course you didn't, because you get all your info from Fox News and you've never heard of Eldridge Cleaver.

You shits want to turn us into Bulgaria, and this country should be better than that.

Alot of prisons dont have smoking

yeah the prisons are bursting because stupid fuck conservatives won't vote for any politician who's not willing to give the death penalty for jaywalking, and ever since Willie Horton NOBODY gets paroled until their sentence is about up anyway.

Putting everybody in prison has never, in the entire recorded history of civilization, solved any social problem. It just allows manipulative politicians to convince stupider voters that they're anti-crime and they're doing something about it.

I concur.
