Well, they seemed trustworthy. I mean, they were in jail for breaking and entering, not breaking and leaving

Why on earth would you give inmates keys?

So they can open doors, duh!

Jokes aside: Treating prisoners humanely has been shown to significantly reduce recidivism rates.It really does help let them out of their cells as a reward for good behavior. In Germany, almost all non-violent criminals get keys to their own cells.

Being "tough on crime" makes things worse and benefits no-one except for-profit private prison corporations.

I mean, that's pretty common for low-security places in the US too. They don't give you a key, but your cell is unlocked through the day so you can go from there to the common area for your cell block.

Depending on the age of facility and security level, they do give inmates keys to their cells.

At the facility I worked at, the minimum-security and minimum-trustee annexes were configured such that inmates had a key to their cells. They couldn't lock or unlock the primary security lock, but they could secure their cell to a degree. Two locks, one only works with the key on the guard's set, and a handle lock that works with both the (cell-specific!) inmate key and guard key.

We put so many people behind bars that don't belong there (usually on nonviolent drug offenses) that you can have an entire jail full of them.

why would you give prison inmates the keys was the question

You didn't understand my answer.

My answer was (to put it bluntly), we put people who shouldn't be in jail in jail.

Those people are honest and harmless. They're not criminals. Often they're just people self medicating with drugs we've made crimes out of for political reasons (google Richard Nixon and Drug War).

So you can give them the keys and they'll come right back because they are honest citizens made criminals for political reasons!!!

No I got the answer, not sure how that's a relevant answer as what I read your answer as, is that some inmates are fine to give keys too. It's like you're trying to convince your 5 upvoters that drug dealers & junkies are to be trusted. Explain that away einstein.

Well, for starters, we literally don't care if people who don't belong in jail escape from jail. I don't need to go any further than that Mr. Hawkinson.

You want people who poison people for money, free from prison? They kinda deserve it, no?

You didn't hear the story where a guard sold key access to an inmate?

"Sergion Williams was fired and faces charges after he’s accused of taking money from inmates through a cash app and giving them food from the jail kitchen"

Maybe feed your fucking inmates enough. It's unacceptable that people in prison are not given enough food.

I spent 5 days in that jail for a $75 traffic ticket I paid on time; the clerk fucked the paperwork. Lost 10 pounds in there and I ate every pitiful tray of slop they gave me.

The entire time I just paced, walked about, or slept; burning significantly less calories than normal - aside from shivering all the godsdamned time.

I have a special wad of hatred buried deep in my heart for that prison and that corrupt crumb of dickcheese Victor Hill.

Did you get any type of compensation?

Jackalodeath t1_itchvqz wrote

Fuck no. I was out of work due to an injury, was homeless, and scared to Death missing the temp work I could do would drop me for 3 no call, no shows. Thankfully the four cops that were sent to collect my gimped ass stopped by my job first which gave them a heads up.

I didn't have the money to simply pay the ticket again - with an added fee of course - to gtfo and and get it sorted, much less what it would've taken to try and get some sort of compensation; and knowing ClayCo they'd've made my life a living Hell for doing it. Just wanted to put the bullshit behind me.

In case the context helps any; that sheriff Victor Hill fucker shot a real estate lady when viewing a model home; leaving her in critical condition. The woman's father called him to apologize for her getting shot.

I shit you not. Forgive me for not linking the stories, but if you're curious just fling "Sheriff Victor Hill accidentally shoots woman" and look for articles around 2015. I will link one below though because its so fucking blatantly... "weird."

Then because of reasons, after the woman healed up from being critically injured from the shooting, she fucking goes and tries to get a job working for the guy.

Idgaf who you are, unless your trauma counsellor is the eternal spirit of Mother-fucking-Teresa; if someone nearly kills you while fucking around, usually the last thing you want to do is call them BOSS.

That is, of course, unless it was a shady-ass way to handle "settlement" payments without the fucker having to admit he did anything wrong. That's purely speculative on my part, yet the scent of utter bullshit clinging to the whole ordeal sure as shit doesn't make it that hard to believe.

Kind of reminds me of Pursuit of Happyness without the finance job to look forward to. Maybe we can primary more progressives and get a labor party instead of the current pro-corporate Dems. Would help protect others at least.
