Not having them. The prison industrial complex is the worst institution in American history. Much better to end it for good.

Anyway, if we're complaining about air conditioning, we're not acknowledging the much crueler things that go on. That should be the least of concerns if we're stuck with silly reform measures.

How do you properly punish major crime if not through the use of prisons?

Still waitng for an answer on this.

I'm curious about this too.

Corporal punishment is an option I suppose, although I doubt that's acceptable to anti-prison posters. Maybe we can sentence murderers to a couple hundred hours community service?
