    Prisons are for separating people from society where they can do damage, they don’t have to be cruel

      Imagine you’re building more comfortable prisons to house all the people incarcerated in the US. Who do you move to the comfy prisons first? Elderly inmates? Non-violent offenders? While all the inmates deserve better treatment, I’d prioritize those who have committed less severe crimes.

      although I agree with you in general. it’s frustrating that rich people get rich people jail, which is basically what all jails should be, but everyone else gets forced labour torture camps for minor drug offences.

      That’s absolutely true, but they’re also for punishment and rehabilitation. Giving her access to a puppy in my eyes is the opposite of punishment, and she ain’t getting rehabilitated. This person destroyed thousands of lives if not more including those of children. This monster deserves zero sympathy and zero pleasures. The fact that she’s in a cushy prison is disgusting and wrong. There’s no justice for the countless victims and their families.

        Could anything be done to her to make it right or to give justice to the victims?

        I’d say no. So there’s no point in trying to do that. The only closure that can be given is the knowledge that she will never be able to hurt people again. Having a dog doesn’t change that.

      They shouldn’t be nice either. She committed real crimes and ruined the lives of dozens of women/girls. She shouldn’t get to play with puppies or touch the internet. She should be made to live the rest of her life working to apologize and make “right” whatever way possible.

        I’m general, I think jails should be humane a place for healing and recovery.

        HOWEVER, what pisses me off is that rich pedophiles get the noce jail, while minor drug offences get forced labour torture camps. two tier justice system.

        I don’t see why that matters. No one can undo the damage she’s done least of all her. At this point she just needs to be separated from society. That in of itself is the punishment

          Are professionally bred domesticated pet animals not a perk of being a part of society?

          As long as it’s all offline or receive-only, should she also get any TV channels or blu-ray movies or game consoles she’s willing to pay for?

          I’m not here to advocate for cruelty or dehumanizing people who have committed crimes. Just wondering about the thought process.

          I bet for most people who aren’t “internationally infamous monster” level criminals, having a pet to care for could be a valuable part of rehabilitation. Maybe they could even take the pet with them after release to give them incentive to get up and go to work to support it.

          In this case though, it’s all annoying because we have a very very bad person getting outrageously special treatment for the shadiest of reasons.

            Is that why people are actually mad though? Because of the privilege that isnt being extended to other prisoners or because they want this person to suffer. I think it’s quite clear that they do perceive the injustice here being that she has a dog, not that other prisoners don’t have dogs.

    I recall there being a specific rule with that prison program that barred her because her crimes were sexual in nature.

    Egg on my face for assuming rules would apply to the President’s special lil’ child trafficker.

      To be fair this presidency is showing the flaws in our system. Too much of our society is based on “rules” not law. A president can change the rules in an agency as long as they follow the law*. Basically congress needs to step up and codify many of these rules.

      *That’s how it’s supposed to work, but you know Trump and the Supreme Court are not great

        While I agree that we need more of the rules codified in law, the law hasn’t exactly stopped them from doing a lot of stuff either.

          Re-read the comment. This was already addressed.

          Either way when codified it will give power to a future administration to punish those that break the law if we ever get a president with the stomach for it

      Probably not, but the thing we should be angry about is that she’s getting comforts while being responsible for the ruination of so many lives.

      This bestiality talk is just going to make the story disappear because nobody is going to pick it up.

        I’m not concerned about basic comfort. That should be afforded every as rehabilitation, since she’s getting out, probably sooner than later. The issue is it’s not available to everyone, everyone else deals with retribution.

    I hope the puppy has rabies and goes for her jugular in her sleep and using it like a cotton dog toy ripping it apart.
