Even a legal state execution is a homicide. The term homicide is morality neutral; it simply means the taking of a human life by another, whether it is justified or not.
The longest of sentences end sometime, and all sentences have some starting point. There is no logical connection between average sentence and turnover; there are always new long-sentence convicts and always finished sentences.
Yes, but a prison where the average sentence is twenty years will have a smaller turnover, percentagewise, than a prison where the average sentence is one year. Qadgop explained it, but an ordinary prison with long sentences simply would not have a monthly turnover of 700 out of 1600 inmates.
Correct, the other prisons which are not intake centers don’t have that sort of turnover.
There is a constant turnover thruout the system, and inmates move thru their sentences, get transferred to the facilities that have their programming needs (treatment for addictions, or sex offenders, or anger management, etc,) go up or down in their security classification (behave, get work-release at a minimum. Or misbehave, and go from medium to max, or even the dreaded supermax (an abomination foisted upon the Corrections department by politicians pandering for votes)).
But most other prisons don’t see the sheer volume of coming and going that mine does.
I believe it’s “barrators”.
I dispute your assertion that Wilford Brimley is not evil.
