Prison meets

[kite]

TweetI was watchin a show on prisons the other day and this one had a powerlifitng meet. What are you guy's thoughts on this, should it be allowed? I also recently read that the USAPL has sanctioned a prison meet and may do more in the future.

Tweetyea, i think it should. lifting has certainly helped me out in many ways in life...maybe it'll help them out as well.

TweetWell I can see both sides of it. On one hand it teaches goal setting and a healthier lifestyle but it also creates bigger, stronger criminals and considering most of those cats aren't first timers they may end up committing even more violent crimes in the future. I really don't know what I think about it.

Tweet^ true Kite...then you have those that believe that theyre prisoners and shouldnt be given such privileges, etc.

I'm on the fence with it basically

TweetI have mixed feeling on it. I think I may have watched the show before. If the guys get into any trouble they are banned from it while they are there. It seemed like it gave them goals and a meaning to stay out of trouble while they are serving but on the other hand its making them stronger criminals. I guess I would rather see prisons like the one in I think arizona where the guys are living in tents and working on chain gangs with only the basics.

TweetI have woked in a prison for 8 years. The state I work for removed the weights a few years back due to the weights being used to break through block walls during a disturbence. They also flattend out an officers head with a 25. Sooo **ckem the *****es can do pushups and dips all day.( Which they do)

TweetI don't think they should be given any recreational items. They should just sit in the jail cell and stare at the wall. I don't even think they deserve more than one meal per day.
