Prisoners demand elbow room

Postby Kashindahar » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:07 am

In a display of unity that can best be described as "highly unnerving," criminals and law enforcement officials alike are up in arms about recent overcrowding within prisons in Kashindahar.

The Debate
"I tell ya, chief... this ain't good," mutters local police chief Freddy McGuffin over his morning cup of coffee. "I see these no-good mohawk-wearin' punks every day, and they're a dangerous bunch. They gotta be locked in their mudholes forever! If we can't afford to keep 'em in prison, I say we need more money! Let's just casually shift some funding from elsewhere; after all, it ain't like our welfare program is helping keep these kids away from crime."

"How can these wayward individuals find their inner selves by staring at the walls within a stone cell?" challenges human rights activist and local prison license plate maker Pete Falopian. "The nation's budget is absolute proof: we cannot afford prisons... strictly because of their immorality! Let these caged birds breathe the sweet air of freedom again! Shut down all prisons in Kashindahar!"

"Now hold on just a second here," says Al Barry, CEO of Kashindahar's most widely-known pizza delivery chain, Papa Pallocci's Pizza Pagoda. "You've got a problem with prisoners, and I've got a problem finding employees. Why don't you just send some of your criminals to Papa Pallocci's? We'll put 'em to work at lower pay as punishment for their crimes! I win, you win... the economy wins!"


Why is there no 'Execute the lot of them' option? It seems like the logical extreme.

This is actually really good, much like the originals. Well done.

I'm forced to wonder why you were being congratulatory if you didn't think that it was mine. :eyebrow:

I just thought it was a good issue.

It's obvious what to do with overcrowding in that sense... a decimation to decrease the numbers of inmates. I believe this would also be a deterrent to people committing future crimes. It may seem heavy handed, but people who resort to murder, rape and theft have lost any honour, and anyway for them to absolve themselves.
