Weights in prison

[riverrock]

The kind of people who would abuse thier size and strength would find another way to achieve their immoral end if they did not have the muscle. Training with weights is a soul fortifying experince and could develop their sense of personal pride and instill a sense of routine and dedicated work ethic.

On a slightly different slant, how the hell do they get really huge on prison diets?
Kinda goes against the whole diet is 90% mantra!

Well, if there is one thing that prisons aren't lacking in - its good food. As well as 3 quality meals, there's the tuc-shop where the inmates can buy tinned tuna. This allows them to comfortably reach their daily quota of calories and proteins.

Before you ask - No, I haven't been locked up, but if the geezer next door keeps parking in front of my gate, I soon will be!!!!!

yeah i don't get it either. i can see it both ways. i've been locked up too but not in a state pen, my cousin is right now. i believe exercise is important but to see guys benching over 500, squatting and deads like 800 lbs. that's a little extreme. What i meant about killers and rapists, prisons like attica and other maxes won't normally have a ton of dudes in there for taxes and shit. the fact that guys in there for life their live for free and we are paying for it. Why should they get a better gym than the hercules or golds gym here where i live. I'm payin out the ass for a yearly membership. that's not cool

I also think that weights help relieve stress for prisoners so that everyone doesnt try to kill eachother. And yes ive been locked up so i know from experience.

i agree with all those bors- and the best part is their responses saved me from having to type it out myself.

Any inmates that were convicted on a charge that didn't involve actual violence or attempted violence should be allowed access to the weights.

All the violent fuckers don't need to pump iron so they can get bigger and stronger and be capable of even greater physical violence imo.

As for the get huge guys, gimme a break. The majority that pump the iron aren't huge and the few that are generally have better genetics than the others.

Let's not forget about the definite ability to get steroids inside just as easily as coke and whatever else they get smuggled in.

I think that access to the weights should be a privledge not a right.

Make 'em earn the right to use the equipment.

Bleeding hearts flame away!

I think being away from your home, family, and everything you've ever known isn't a bundle of laughs anyhow.

sounds like you are describing the military! LOL

 

[musclemuscle]

Yes, prison is a great laugh. You make new friends, get free food, an opportunity for an education, and free gym membership. Hey guys, lets all rob the local Post Office, use our own car as a get-away vehicle so we get caught, and lets all go to prison for 20 years and have a great time!! Hurrrrrah!!!!!!!

LOL

I think they should have access to all the weights they want.
