I'm sure an escape from ADX Florence by a terrorist would be admissible under the changes put into place in 2005.

Quote :

"What tangent have you rambled onto now. Custody procedures are the issue here. After all you said, "but there isn't much difference in maximum security prisons and so-called supermax prisons.""

Anyone not attempting to masturbate their ego will recognize the massive difference between ADX Florence and any other Maximum Security Prison. After all, when it comes to housing terrorists, ADX Florence would be the place and not Pelican Bay Maximum Security Prison or any other prison for that matter.

Again, even if the custodial procedures similar, it doesn't make the conditions of the lock up the same nor does it make the security at ADX Florence unsafe.

^ Jesus, some of you are just plain stupid. Even the Obama administration would not deploy the National Guard to catch an escaped prisoner(s).

The soldiers might deploy to locations like airports and train and bus stations and so on. But they wouldn't be going door to door searching homes like law enforcement officers.

For an escaped terrorist?

Quote :

"But they wouldn't be going door to door searching homes like law enforcement officers."

True, but you don't think they wouldn't be called out to help sweep and conduct ground searches for escaped terrorists?

Quote :

"ADX Florence also has a "special" ultramax section where international and domestic spies, traitors, terrorists, and other elements the Federal Government of the United States designates as especially deserving of punishment but is unable to execute (due to the decision of a jury) or who have not exhausted their appeals as of yet. ADX Florence is considered to be of a security level above that of all other prisons in the United States, at least in the "ideological" ultramax part of it, which features permanent 24 hour solitary confinement with no human contact or opportunity to earn better conditions through good behavior; some accuse it of being deliberately designed and operated so as to effectively torture its inmates."

So this isn't dissimilar to any prison you have worked in before?

And if ADX Florence wasn't that much different than Maximum Security in State prisons, why would state's such as Georgia send people like this to ADX Florence?

H. Rap Brown 99974-555, former civil rights activist convicted of murdering a Georgia sheriff's deputy (NOTE: Brown is a Georgia state inmate held here because Georgia does not have a suitable facility.)

this is a good thread. First thing that caught my attention was that I really liked hooksaw's original post. it was very informative, and always interesting to read someone who has significant experience in a subject, speak on that subject.

but it's also clear that nutsmackr did quite well comparing and contrasting max and supermax. (i did not know about ultramax. that sounds like pure hell, and i think i'd lose my mind.) I would have thought the whole thing was wrapped up quite nicely, but hooksaw is still insisting that one aspect wasnt addressed: the difference in custody procedures. which, apparently, must be very important

so, i sure wish hooksaw would tell us what the differences are. otherwise I guess we'll never know. honestly, im beginning to wonder if there even is a difference, if the difference matters, or if hooksaw even knows.

In any event, here's evidence that some here don't know what the fuck they're talking about. The New York Times is having a fucking freak out because Bush merely considered using American soldiers in US cities.

BTW, I wonder if nutsmackr will defend using US troops now knowing that "evil" Cheney proposed it? And Bush made the decision not to do so--wasn't it Cheney who supposedly made all the decisions?

3. It is incumbent upon nutsmackr to prove that there is "world of difference" between custody procedures at a so-called supermax prison and a maximum security prison--and he has yet to do so.

I will address the similarities of the facilities at some point--a time of my choosing. I will not operate on the timetable of a bunch of ignorant cackling hyenas that aren't going to believe what I post anyway.

but then you went apeshit on nutsmackr's otherwise apparently thorough and balanced attempt to compare and contrast the various security levels of federal corrections facilities -- because (we can only assume) he made some point or other that aggravated you.

now YOU claim that he failed to address one aspect that, at least in your mind, is the critical lynchpin to understanding all of it. But since no one here other than you can answer this question, we now MUST turn back to you, our resident corrections facilities expert, to answer your own question:

>> Will you simply explain the difference in custody procedures <<

otherwise, we're all just going to have to conclude that the question itself is a red herring, designed by you to attack the person rather than adding any value whatsoever to the discussion.
