=__//**Courtney's Page ( Wiki Master )**//__ = = = =My personal opinion of Prisoner Luxury is that for some cases it should be treated differently. If it was a severe case, or crime like Murder I don't think there should be any other privileges or special treatment at all. Though if it was something like stealing Food, or causing trouble. I think they should be considered for privileges and luxury. When I think of Prisoner Luxury I think of a comfy bed and pillow, lots of water privileges for any reason, phone calls and good eating time. Not anything like Internet access or better food, because they did and caused a crime so they need to earn the time for it and take the time they deserved without help from privileges and luxury. If it was a case about someone stealing food for their family..i Honestly would probably look at it differently but then again anyone could say they were doing something for their family. So here is also the case of lying, without a fair trial for their sentences they could get off the hook for something they actually did. Which also leads into people who they would consider suspicous, they could go to jail for something they didn't even do. So what happens then? What about what happened to Steven Truscott? He probably would have not been given any privileges at all, and we all know now he was innocent the whole and entire time. =

= = =My Essay:= = = =Prisoner Luxury= = = =The loss of a loved one is a hard thing to handle. The people that lose family, or friends when they didn't have to is unfair, and unfortunate. Imagine being in a situation where your sister or brother was killed by another person. How would you feel? And to find out that, that same person was in for a lifetime in jail but with privileges and luxuries. How would you feel now? Some prisons are highly unfair with privileges. I believe that there should be no luxury in Prisons, other than the standards they require.= = = =People make mistakes, but when somebody makes a mistake that breaks the law it ends up in a serious consequence. To the people in jail who had made the mistake of robbing a bank, or stealing something, it isn't as strong as the offense of actually murdering someone, or harming them. If it was your family member that was in jail for a serious crime, it could change your opinion on prisoner luxury, but still remember it was at someone else's expense.= = = =We are all human, which involves human rights. Some people believe that while you are in jail you still have the rights, though after committing a serious crime I don't think rights are the same as special treatment. Yes I think manners, being polite, and acknowledging people, should be what happens in prison. Not treating them badly at all. But not high-class meals, comfy, huge puffy beds, or internet access. Because they lost those rights after they went to jail, because they committed a crime.=

=Imagine losing a person close to you, and special to you. No one would ever want that. The struggling, and hard times it would bring you. And the amount of time it would cost you, whether you're recovering from the loss, or sorting out court meetings. The extreme weight on your shoulders because of the responsibility either organizing a funeral, paying for medical services, or anything like that. It can be a burden that you didn't need, plus the loss of someone important to you.= = = =Thinking about the losses of others, the mistakes people make, human rights, and the feelings someone can get after horrible situations. How could you handle knowing that prisoners are getting special treatment in the prisons after making the mistakes they made, and causing pain to someone else. Sure there is the fact that we don't always know the whole story, and maybe there are some who truly deserve the luxury they receive in prisons. So in the troubling situations you can never know. I still strongly believe that the prisoners in jail should not be given any luxuries. They made the mistake, they committed the crime, so they shouldn't get the privileges in jail.= = = =By: Courtney deJong=
