Journal Bill Dog's Journal: foreclosure of a scheme 5
Ole Bernie Madoff, who is but the posterboy and just one of many of the rich in current times who felt/feel the need to get richer via screwing over others, experienced quite a down-sizing in living arrangements today. No he didn't go from a luxurious McMansion to an apt. or tent, like so many ordinary dumb cheat Americans. No, this dumb cheat American went from a $7 million downtown Manhattan penthouse apt. to a walk-in closet-sized jail cell. I hope he enjoys his new 60 sq. ft. digs, and gets assigned a really horny roommate. Rot in there til you're dead, MF'er, even tho you can't possibly make up in this life for what you took (and transferred out of your possesion while you were out on bail). Better find Jesus while you're in there, or your next one will definitely be describable as the hot sauce made in your name.

Prison is for dangerous, violent people who need to be isolated from the rest of us. It would be far better to take what property he has, let him stay in some fleabag hotel, or the Y, and earn his own scratch, heavily garnished by the state towards restitution.

But just like in their politics, they just keep on repeating the same thing expecting different results. Damn! It's like BCC

That's what you say. Others say it's supposed to be for "rehabilitation". Still others say it's for its deterring effect on crime. I say it's supposed to be for punishment. That it also keeps dangerous, violent people away from us is only icing on the cake. And if it has any deterring effect, that's merely a bonus as well.
The death penalty for example is not for rehab'ing someone, and it's unnecessary to kill someone keep th

You're just over complicating things. The best way to punish him would be to make him live amongst the people robbed. And the neighbors will give him that nasty stare whenever he steps out of the house, with a crescendo of Alfred Hitchcock music. The toy poodles will growl at him. The birds will crap on him. Best deterrent there is.
No. We need for the banks to die, and the officers thrown into the street. Again, that's only if you wish to "deter" the next recurrence. Ot

Live? He'd wind up dead in such a neighborhood sooner than he would put into a population of the most violent inmates.
Otherwise you're just rewarding bad behavior and reliving "Groundhog Day"..over 'n over.
Well I was meaning to be recounting things that we prolly should do, but that would never fly. But I think maybe you're right in that if we just listened a little closer, we could hear the banks and the rich basically singing t
