 See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Whats you opinion? These guys are murderers and rapists yet they appear to be having the time of their lives? | ||

 The Crossfit KingPin Member 941, 1810 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 285645.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | So you believe that prison should serve only to punish as apposed to rehabilitate people? What would be the point of this as a lot of people will eventually leave prison? | ||

 doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Speaking as someone who locks people up for a living - I would rather prisoners had a reasonable time when inside rather than rioting and hurting the people who have to look after them. Lifting weights inside is not going for a jacuzzi at the local spa - I am more than comfortable with it | ||

 Why not just not get fat in the first place? Member 132, 1406 posts SQ 331, BP 200, DL 320851.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Perhaps the discipline and reward gained from lifting weights is a valuable lesson for these people. | ||

 No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 4251050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | IMO, prison's most valuable use is to protect the public from criminals by keeping them separated from us. Punishing criminals doesn't really help anyone does it. So that being said, I don't give a f**k what they are or aren't allowed to do while in prison. As long as they're not murdering and raping me anymore, then good job! | ||

I dont think strength really relates to either. It isnt hard to stab/shoot somebody. As for rape, your average non lifting male would overpower a female, as we unfortunately see in the news all too often, so again I dont think it makes much difference. What "could" make a difference is treating them like scum, solitary, 1hr out their cell a day etc etc. Far more likely to cause further mental problems. For the record, I am not defending sex offenders, would quite happily slot them all myself. | ||

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | I was about to post the same thing, if a man has the desire to kill/rape then been strong has no bearing. You could argue if they learn respect and morals from a coach/father figure that will do more good. | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | What would happen to sumo deadlifters in there? | ||

You could just point blank them in the back of the head, therefore not having to worry about anything later on. Also means prisons can be turned into something else, like a school, block of flats etc. | ||
