Chucky's Seven Levels of Hell

Dante's 7 Circles of Hell

I don't think our criminal justice system is working very well. By all accounts our prisons are pretty horrible places, expensive to build, expensive to maintain and overrun by gangs. I would also say they were ineffective in accomplishing their intended purpose if I knew what the intended purpose was. Are we trying to reform people? Punish them? Enslave and exploit them? Remove them from civilized society? Or are we just trying to keep the prison-industrial system going and keep all the contractors and prison guards employed?

I'm thinking farms and ranches would be better for maybe half of the people in prison. I think a lot of people would be happy just to have something to do. Of course there are those who are just going to rebel against anyone telling them what to do. Well, if they do, they can go down to the next level.

Homelessness seems to be a big problem. Maybe a big campground would help. This would be level one. Any vagrants, people caught loitering or jaywalking, having too many parking tickets, we'd put them on a bus and send them to the campground. They are free to go where they want, but if they show up in the city again doing the same bullshit, we put them on the bus and send them back to the campground. Probably have to be 50 or even miles outside of the city to where the land is cheap enough you can afford to establish a campground.

Let the campground govern itself. Anybody they decide is misbehaving goes to the next level - a campground encircled with a fence. Every month or so the people in this second level decide whether anyone of their number can be trusted enough to be elevated to the first level. Anyone they decide is misbehaving according to their rules to cast down into a lower level. That level only meets quarterly to decide on who gets parole. Each successive layer has a higher fence and a longer time between meetings of the parole board.

The bottom level is a circular area surrounding a bottomless pit. You get on the wrong side of the people on the seventh level and into the pit you go.

  1. Sure, use the WWII internment camps, they'd be a damnsite more humane than the commercial for profit prisons.
