[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9120222, member: 4534"] Let's keep in mind that Tony Ford, the first prisoner mentioned in the article, and his accomplice forced their way into a home to rob them. And even after their demands were met, Ford shot three people, Armando Murillo, Myra Murillo, and Lisa Murillo. Both Lisa and Myra survived, but Armando was killed. Dude only made it to 18. The article did a great job avoiding any details of their crimes in order to invoke a sense of sympathy. We didn't just throw them away, they earned their place. That said, I'm not a fan of brutalizing prisoners and I'm happy they're able to pass the time. It's better for the mental health of the prisoner and I think it ends up being safer for staff as well. And while these folks are on death row and unlikely to be released, most prisoners are going to end up being released so making sure we minimalize trauma is a good thing if we want them to function in the real world. The subject of D&D in prisons comes up from time-to-time. I remember reading about a mobster from Vermont who learned how to play AD&D in prison. It's wild listening to a wise guy talk about his druid during an interview. [/QUOTE]
