Geez there must be a lot of prisoners. I assume this means the one percent who are publicized either A: did somethign really terrible, B: Did something really stupid or C: Live in a unactive relatively boring area.

Orignally posted by Magik: I agree with you that there are some flaws but TV drama series don't tell the real story. I would think we would want to reserve any "penile colonies" for those people caught red handed wor with the smoking gun. Leave them for the multiple offenders of violent crime. Leave the iffy cases for the regular prisons.

You're right the TV drama series definitely do not tell the *real* story. Only stories that are interesting. Instead of getting in a debate about that I'd rather just pretend i've never seen one. I'm not for sending prisoners who may be innocent to some forsaken island. However if someone has video footage of the criminal walking in with victim, than a gun is fired, criminal walks out and throws gun in dumpster (Or something like that [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) than they can be sent to the island and forced to commit ritual suicide for all I care.
