Supermax: A feature, not a bug.

Read this article about whiner and Centennial Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph.

Rudolph appears to be confused. That Supermax is a miserable hell which will inflict maximum psychological damage for the rest of his life, is the whole point. Even our less secure state prisons, where people are housed for much lesser crimes, should be much less desirable places than they are now. If criminals make a connection between almost certain severe punishment and the crimes they commit, there would be a lot less crime.

I'm glad Rudolph wrote these letters to tell the world how much he is suffering. I say, good, serves him right.

1. I totally agree with you Jeff. This should be a model for our prisons. One note from the article. It turns out the woman who runs one of the "women's clinics" he bombed says she is glad he is suffering. I wonder how she feels about the terrorists at Gitmo?

2. "Rudolph, an anti-government extremist, pleaded guilty in April 2005 to setting the bomb that killed one person and wounded more than 100 at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and three other bombings, including a fatal explosion at a Birmingham clinic."

First of all I don't think this bum is an "anti-government extremist". He's a sick little puppy who wants to kill others. Nothing he's done can be construed as rebelling against government. A clinic isn't government, as is the Olympics. Society yes, government no.

Supermax is a good place for him. That is of course, if he never leaves. Death is to good a treatment. If he has a problem with the place, he should have thought about that before he lit-off multiple bombs with the intention of killing others.

TrueSoldier brings up a good point. Isn't ironic that we treat the remorseless killers in Gitmo better than Supermax residents. We should at least get Gitmo to the Supermax standard. At least adios the Halal meals.

3. Also, Rudolph is not really a whiner. The little creep is scared to death. Good.
