Free food, free houses, free social care, free schools. Yeah. Everything is for free. But my wallet is fu***** empty because of it's freenes.

Stop posting nonsense. Prisoners DO NOT PAY TAXES, they have NO RIGHT to use societys money.

They should work their asses off to repay their debt to society OR DIE.

And you know, prisoners HAD a choice. BEFORE they commited a f**** crime.

Tell us how you really feel.

Oh puh-leeze. Go get yourself arrested if you really think it's such a gravy train. I dare you.

You sound jealous. Why aren't you in a prison then ?

Yeah, pure prisoners. They can't go outside and shit. We should pity them and their poor existence.

It's not their fault they murdered someone. They are the true and ONLY victims. They will suffer trauma to rest of their lives.

I will pray for every murderer and rapist this day. Because lack of satellite TV in each cell is torture.

It's cute that you think that everyone in jail in China is a murderer or rapist.

Your sarcasm only makes sense if your interlocutors share the view of prisons as purely punitive facilities and (most likely) evil as a permanent mark that cannot/should not be cleansed.

Nice to see there's a healthy divide of both (comparatively) sane individuals and seriously fucked up ones right here on GOG. :D

Not everyone who breaks the law is a rapist, murderer etc. So calm down with your hatred of prisoners unless you hate everyone who has broken a law(or several laws) in this world.

History shows us that evil people using people is wrong as hell. Using people put in prison for real crimes as labor as part of their punishment is neither cruel nor unusual, unless the work and treatment itself is cruel and unusual.

I have no problem with putting them in working camps, except that half or more the people here are in jail for no actual crimes committed against anyone, so forcing them to work would just be further insult and injury and violation of their rights. But if it was only directed at violent offenders, it'd be hard to say working for them would be a problem.

Comparing Manning to this Chinese prisoner in an attempt to say USA is oppressive is laughable. If Manning was Chinese he would be dead along with his entire family and probably any coworkers who couldn't pay off the government. Glad I got the hell out of there.

Those who have broken the law in minor cases, should work also. But of course not as hard as murderers. For example, they may sweep sidewalks, collect rubbish, etc etc. And this is exactly the point. It's a different topic to me, unfair inprisonment (as Bradley Manning's) and just simply doing justice. Oh! The great and merciful United States hasn't killed him (yet). Praise the United States!

The fact that people are able to campaign for the release of Manning is proof enough that USA has not stooped to China's level. Though your sarcastic joke response show your bias and lack of understanding by trying to compare USA to China.

Yeah. And they serve champaigne in Guantanamo.
