Solar Energy

it seems like all the criminals that just have no remorse, it seems there problem is that they are very one minded. they don’t see how they effect everything.

so, i have come up with a plan to fix this.

we build an island, off in a very deserted part of the oceans, and we separate 5 of them. in distance between each other, to build boats and reach each other. Then on these islands, all 5 are different, and have larger portions of the others resources. but the islands all have the same things. we have houses and solar panels for energy, beds, refrigerators (more like the cold boxes to hold masses of meat). everything that they would need to survive. even chickens and cows, and release animals to the island to keep an wild supply. im talking there will be everything that we eat. vegetables and fruits. but we don’t put any of the houses, furniture, or appliances or solar panels together, they have to do that part, they have no boats to reach the other islands.
but only detailed instructions on how to put everything together. and how to care for the animals. this is a place that is gonna hold like Millions of inmates. they will all have to rely on each others help unless they wish to starve and die. this will teach them that everyone has there purpose. prisons are just giant shitholes. and are more trouble than they are worth. this will move them away from escaping. and help them, and if they survive there sentence. then they are given the option to come back to society or stay there. there would be no women. because reproduction would lead to problems.

so tell me what you think. i know it would cost a lot. but don’t we already spend to much on the prisons already?

Sounds kind of like a penal colony. One of the issues would be that this would be the worst type of people to set up a cooperative society. As long as some are weaker than others, the strong will prey upon the weak. And why should one man tend crops, when he can steal from another who does? I also note that you would put no women on the island. That would mean that even more so than a regular prison, some of the men would get used as women.

I’m also not sure what would stop prisoners from building boats to escape.

And, as you say, cost is an issue. A major issue. I don’t know of any island today that supports that number of people without trade with the outside world. If the solar panels require batteries, where would new batteries come from? For that matter, where would replacement solar panels come from? Surely they would not be manufactured on the islands.

The expense to keep an island like that going would be considerable. We have trouble providing food and housing even for people who are law-abiding but poor.
