Pedal-vision

I love Sheriff Joe's ingenuity. He is going to make inmates pedal on stationary bikes to generate electricity if they want to watch TV. Sounds great. But I still have a problem with this. I don't think inmates should be allowed to watch TV. I don't think they should get any luxuries. What ever happened to embarrassing inmates. They should be ashamed and embarrassed to go to prison. So ashamed they would do whatever they could to not go back.

If it was up to me I'd take away everything for inmates. No gym, no tv, no electricity, no recess, no nothing. All they would have the bare necessities to live. Bread, water, and a blanket. That's all the scum of the Earth deserve.
