10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Vile. She was not sentenced to die.
Also, those sort of chemicals aren't good for the environment and wildlife, either. They have free labour, there's no reason they couldn't give them gloves and have them pull the weeds.
Conservatives delight in the slow, painful deaths of vulnerable people. That is just who they are at their core. That's why being a prison guard is like a dream job to a conservative. They get to torture and kill vulnerable people while enriching a corporate prison CEO.
Conservatism is a plague of death. There is no room in a modern society for conservatism. It needs to be cleansed from the earth. Completely.
The cruelty is the point. It's their MO. Hurt those already judged and serving their sentence. It's why I will never work in correctional Healthcare. Each interaction with a health care professional is, in those HCPs minds, an opportunity to punish in invisible ways. I've seen many DOC nurses treat inmates like dogs. By the time they get to outside facilities for care, they're often unnecessarily complicated or half dead, due to the 'care' they get from DOC personnel.
Edit: not just nurses but doctors too
It's pretty hard to imagine a real pathway to 'reform' our criminal justice system. It's just rotten to the core.
