      Yeah this seems like cruel and unusual treatment for the dog.

      At least with average pet standards in the US, owners take pets for walks, bring pets to playdates with others, take pets to the vet regularly for check ups, etc

      I don’t see this story any different from Maxwell using this puppy for emotional support. There’s nothing wrong with that, so long as the animals has its rights upheld. Don’t think puppies can do this much in jail.

    I recall there being a specific rule with that prison program that barred her because her crimes were sexual in nature.

    Egg on my face for assuming rules would apply to the President’s special lil’ child trafficker.

    Oh god please at least give her an adult dog? She’s played with enough “puppies”, has she not?

    Does she just play with the puppy sometimes or is it in her cell keeping her company all the time?

    This lady deserves to suffer but inmates in this county are treated terribly. I could really get behind programs where inmates are raising and training puppies.

        As much as I’d like to see this creature meet a firing squad, all prisoners deserve to be treated as people. I do have an issue with her “knowing the right people” and being treated differently.

            Yeah that’s shit is abhorrent but you still can’t become them in order to pursue revenge. Guy below me said it better. In a perfect world, where you could know the truth 100% of the time, firing squad all day. We don’t live in that world though.

              I disagree here. This would not be “becoming them” in any way. What I do agree with you though is that the damage of “punish culture” could outweigh the gains of punishment/death in some grand utilitarian sense but from personal philosophy pov I find no problem with not having any sympathy, even as far as “treated as people”, for these objectively horrible monsters.

                True, wasnt a spot on comparison. But yeah there’s a grey area here that’s hard to approach, there’s also the problem of our very flawed courts that lock innocent people up all the time.

                  I definitely agree with the flawed justice system and tbh that’s really the only reason I’m against death penalty.

                  Some people are really really bad and if we are 100% sure they are then deleting them from the society is actually a good option as it frees up bandwidth and resources for more productive endeavours. The 100% sure is really hard to get but, as we can see, not always.

                  The other interesting point is that suffering in “humane sort of banishment” can be viewed as a ethical-purgatory of sorts and maybe we want that even if we’d never see the rehabilitation?

      I read elsewhere the puppy is being trained by another inmate as a therapy animal. And that its a program that as a convict of a sex crime, is one shres banned from.

      Mt understanding of these programs is that the inmates have scheduled access to the animals, not tthe animals living with them.

      Prisons don’t exist to make people suffer. They exist to give people the care they need to return safely to society

      Probably not, but the thing we should be angry about is that she’s getting comforts while being responsible for the ruination of so many lives.

      This bestiality talk is just going to make the story disappear because nobody is going to pick it up.

    I hope the puppy has rabies and goes for her jugular in her sleep and using it like a cotton dog toy ripping it apart.
