Prison Blogs
Michelle Malkin writes about prisoners who run blogs. In response to the question “This is an experiment, but wouldn’t it be great to see every death row inmate with a blog?” she replies:
No, it wouldn’t. I don’t think it would be “great” for Satanic serial killer Richard Ramirez or convicted murderer Scott Peterson to be allowed to blog about their breakfasts and their workouts and their appeals and their sick fantasies and their online girlfriends.
I don’t think it would be “great” to see convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal blogging about his favorite razors and digital cameras and what’s playing on his iPod.
I don’t think it would be “great” for prison officials to allow these Death Row convicts to flaunt their lives on the Internet while the relatives of those they brutally murdered suffer.
Michelle Malkin: Prison Blogging?!?!
Hm, I sort of tend to think it might be good, for those same reasons. Prison has its share of riots and rapes and violence, but I really don’t think people are quite aware of how nice it can be sometimes. Cable TV? Internet access? I think if prisoners ran blogs, people would be outraged at the amount of freedom afforded them, and perhaps something might be done about it.
People aren’t worried about giving prisoners perks like fitness centers or cable TV because they don’t really affect the outside world. But if a perk was given that would make the world painfully aware of how much leeway some prisoners have, it might just get their attention.
anyone, and yet the righteously indignant rage that motivates so many opinions on the topic of how we treat prisoners assumes that everyone in prison has committed heineinous crimes against bona fide victims. I Googled “prison blogs” and founda page that included the following chain of thoughts on the topic of how we regard and consequently treat the millions of people in our society whom we incarcerate and more specifically on whether they should be allowed to blog:
the solution to all penal problems is: write a tight spec for incarceration, bid our prisoners to the third world. have inspections to insure compliance, food, cells,abuse. if specs are notfollowed you are off bid list.If U sell dope & get 5 yrs in zimbabway rather than an actual week or two with your friends,U wud get out of the business. shud cost 20% of what it costs now and the prison won’t be next door and judges won’t release early to ease crowding. IF U breakout, so what.
I think prison blogs is a great idea! However i also believe it should be a privilege prisoners have to earn. B/c just as one of the posts said….. “I don’t think it would be “great” for Satanic serial killer Richard Ramirez or convicted murderer Scott Peterson to be allowed to blog about their breakfasts and their workouts and their appeals and their sick fantasies and their online girlfriends.”
which I’m sure we all agree with. I do think they could work it out to where some privileged prisoners are allowed the opportunity to keep in touch with their family and friends through blogs.
The truth is very few residents of prisons never get out. Something like 3% stay forever. Should we hope to be so horrible to them they never can function again in society because they are so angry.
Being in the prison, away from your family, and life outside should be enough punishment. If you think ANY prison is fun to be in you are uneducated about the subject. You all focus your hatred on the 3% that have done things that shock. My theory is that some of those got to that degree of “coldness” from being in the system in the first place. If you feel hated by society while you do one year, why would that make you anything but a worse person?
Don’t project the degree of hatred you have for Richard Ramirez on the other 98%, because if you do, your daughter could be the next Shasta, from Idaho. Just my personal opinion here that the ten years her abductor did prior to that crime may have added to his ability to cut up her brother and burn him in front of Shasta.
Carl Rogers, the one who originated the humanistic approach to psychology had a great idea. Hate what they did but don’t hate them.
Do I think they need blogs? Not necessarily, I think they need to learn to use the Internet to be useful members of society. I’m doing my part at http://businessbehindbars.com, to try to keep them connected to the Internet. Want to help? We can use sponsors and mentors.
Prisons all have different levels of punitive living in the United States. That’s what I think is unfair, but that should be another thread.
OK, let them run blogs. Don’t you think it would be a nice idea to capture them again? incase they run away.
I have a friend in prison 3 states away, they have No internet or computer use at all. It would be nice to email. He is serving Life with out Parole, what would it hurt for him to be allowed to emial family and friends on a limited list.
Not all prisons are Grand with lots of extra’s. Most extra’s were removed about 5 years ago in the southern states.
Prison sucks. Yeah, you get the proverbial TV, three hots, and a cot, but it bites the royal banana. Follow the convict protocol or you get your butt beaten or screwed. Follow the prison rules or priveledges like visitation and commissary get revoked.
Is American prison “easy”? Compared to most other countries I guess so. For some categories of offenders its way too lax, like muderers and child molesters. It also favors super-predators, but fortunately they’re few and far between. For the average felon prison sucks enough to encourage you not to come back. That’s enough to keep many on the straight and narrow after release.
I recently created a site specifically for prisoners to submit blogs, artwork, poetry, stories, etc., so if any of you know anyone, please send them to http://www.myprisonblog.com. I realize that most inmates don’t have Internet access, but family members are welcome to initiate this process themselves, in behalf of their incarcerated family member or friend.
Thanks!

http://www.realpanama.org is a prisoner blog’s from Panama City, Republic of Panama. It details the “third world” abuses you so fondly speak of.
The conditions are so horrid, that a few days ago, a German national who spent about a year in Panama’s La Joyita Prison, was deported back to Germany, where a judge promptly commuted his German Sentencing remaining days: for every day in prison he spent in Panama, it counts as two in Germany. And an appeal is being made to make it valid as FOUR FOR ONE.
Read about in http://www.realpanama.org, do a search for UWE GRIES.
I am actually looking to connect with children (mainly adults as i am now 30 yrs old) who have grown up without a parent due to incarceration. Our voices are eerily silent.
Prisons should be a reflection of the society that runs them. If we, as a society, use prison to deal with crime, then we have to accept the responsibility of rehabilitating those we incarcerate and aiding the families that are the unrecognized victims of crime.
Most people in prison are getting out. It is up to us to make them safe as possible for their entrance into the mainstream America.
My life is something unbelievable, really
