So Crowded They Put Beds Anywhere!

These Two Spend Over 2/3 Of Their Day In Here!

Areas Of Thought In relation to Manson and criminals in general, are these people born evil? Do people commit acts that are evil on purpose? Do people know that what they are doing is evil or do they believe they are doing what they think is right (explain)? Is what they believe to be right an illusion? If it is an illusion can we say this is why it is evil(why)? Do people who commit victimless crimes deserve this type of punishment, what are your thoughts? Does a straight “A” student who made a mistake to drink and drive and does not hurt anyone deserve a prison sentence? Once in prison, does the system serve to rehabilitate or breed more evil in person? If it does not rehabilitate, do the governments and private corporations know this, yet still partake in the illusion for the sake of profit? In what ways do prisons breed evil? Do prisons and solitary confinement take ones ability to exist away? What constitutes that a person or thing exists and is taking this ability way evil?
