every prison should be self sufficent. prisoners should be be forced to work growing their own food, making their own clothes. it truely is pathedic that prisoners live better than a lot of descent people. one way to free up some space is to execute the murderers, rapist and child molestors immediately.

Get ready for an influx of released felons Mississippi. Please find your self a lawyer and get ready to sue the state and all the people that are involved the release of these people once they get out hurt and or commit new crimes against your families. Prison over crowding ?, quit making them easy. 90% go in there with the thug mentality so so the mental aspect is no longer there. Must be nice to be warm and dry feed three meals a day , have major medical/dental and no responsibilities. That would be a vacation. Prison populations should be made to work. Bring back the chain gangs with trigger happy guards on horse back .

They should build more prisons like Parksman! They farm their own food, raise their own cattle, and pay for their own housing. Self Sufficient. Heck add recycling to our prisons so the state can sell the goods to become profitable! Why has nobody thought of this? Put them to work. It isn't vacation. Most people want to work anyways so not only does it benefit them.. it benefits society. For the really bad ones, death row awaits. We ask our fellow citizens to please be nice and don't hurt others. If they can't do it.. then let God sort them out PLEASE

...Until somebody on drugs plows into your family one night. Execute 'em & quit housing & feeding 'em.

Ending the corrupt, racist, and un-winnable war on drugs would be a good start.
