Prison Lifting: For or Against?

[BioAS]

let em lift...but...

yeah let em lift...but give them DBs only up to 20s and give a some BS total body gadget you see on TV lol...that way they dont get big and strong...lol jk...i agree that they need something to look forward too...strong body...strong mind...I think that prisoners need more rehab...though I question if it wuold do any good...I think if money was present alot of schooling, exercise, and counceling would be great...that way they would come out knowing something and feeling proud of themselves...i personally think people who have multiple convinctions (murders that is and rapist) should just be shot...I seriously doubt they can reabiliated...of course I am not an expert...and that may be a harsh and ignorant judgement...I am just sick of paying tax money to support these people...now people who have made one mistake or a couple of small mistakes then no they need to be given a chance...but some people you cant change...and by god I dont wont them reproducing spreading there poor genetic on to others...they say that there is a link to criminals and their genetics...i agree with this...anywasy my two cents...maybe useful may be useless buts its my two cents.

To lift - Yes
To compete - No

Unfortunately I spent a week in LA county jail this September, my case is still pending. There were no weights or exercise equipment at all in LA County.
My cellmate was a southsider doing two years at Chino, the dude was in great shape and all natural.

Anyway he told me that in California the state prisons have removed all weights and bodybuilding equipment-----------------------------because too many inmates are getting huge.

I got in the best shape of my life when I was in the hole for a month. Push-ups, dips, sit-ups, all day long. I got up to 1000 push-ups a day. I was cut to ribbons. The strange thing is I actually got used to being in the hole and started to enjoy it. I would read, write letters, jack off, exercise, etc. I had nice routine going and time flew by.

An interesting fact in Massachusetts. We don't have the death penalty in this state. It used to be that life in prison with no chance of parole for heavy offenses usually meant that an inmate would spend on average 8 (eight) years before getting out on parole. Now that we have a 'Truth in Sentencing' law on the books, the same criminals spend an average of 16 years in prison before parole. (Source- www.thebostonchannel.com) So in some states, these guys ARE going to get out someday. Look, there is a way to let these guys burn off steam without the privilege of working out with free-weights - let them do aerobic workouts. Stair-masters, rowing machines, stationary bikes, etc. If their hearts get stronger, maybe their though processes will get stronger too. Thanks!

I think they should be allowed to lift and take care of their body, but not compete outside of the prison.

i say give 'em a soccer ball and no weights. that way they won't get strong enough to cause any problems, they wont' get the satisfaction of really improving their bodies, and oon top of that since soccer isnt' a real sport they have to face not only the punishment for the crime that landed them in the pen, but the humiliation of getting their "recreation" from kicking around a leather ball like a bunch of cheesedicks.

LOL!!!! That was damn good!


On a serious note though regarding the subject, it should be based on the seriousness of the crime. A lot of our bros are involved in "The Game" that live in countries like the U.S. that have laws making AAS a felony. I know if I were one of those guys, and did get caught and had to do some time, I would want to be able to work out in prison. (Cause we all know that AAS isn't really a "REAL" crime). But for people like child molestors and rapists, those guys should have none of those privelages at all!!! You've got to weigh it on the crime itself. Should being busted for AAS be the same in terms of lack of privelages as raping? or serial killing? Let me answer....NO!

I agree with whoever said we should send long term prison inmates to the front like in times of war. I seems like it would be the best way for them to repay their debt to society. However I would be willing to bet that they don't take direction very well, and would probably just get over there and take off.
