The Ohio prison department says it allowed one unillustrated version of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” into a prison because it didn’t show symbols associated with any white supremacist groups.
Flawless logic
This stuff would be considered too much in a comedy skit.
Yeah, when I read the headline I thought that ‘this time The Onion has gone too far’, but they actually do that.
so they are c# fans
We do a bunch of shit in Ohio that doesn’t make sense.
The medical cannabis market is regulated to sell cannabis flower by tenth ounces. If you don’t know why this is weird, that’s okay. If you know why that’s weird, it’s fuckin weird right?
That’s not comparable to this example though, our prisons should be a place for growth and rehabilitation, this is just sick and twisted.
Who cares if an inmate even wants to pursue software engineering as a career? Anything that could be used, by them, to enhance their education in some way, no matter how useless it may seem, should be allowed.
Damn jails are capturing groups of people and forcing them into vicious cycles of recidivism.
I’d argue that it makes plenty of sense when you see it through the lens of terrible people profiting from human misery wanting to hold onto those profits: letting prisoners learn useful skills leads to lower recidivism which means fewer dollars going to the prison industry in the future. Meanwhile more racist books in the library means less hassle to prison guards when the prisoners turn on each other, boosting gangs that alighn on racial lines, instead of pushing back on the assholes actually making their lives worse.
Well, yeah, to a psychopath it makes “sense” but I suppose that’s the point haha
