do you really want to make me cry?" - rolf, on 01/19/2009, -1/+131Yeah, he should go to jail. But rape shouldn't be part of jail. I'm sorry, but pretending to be a civil society and trying rehabilitate people while having them treated as animals is BS.
And we wonder why some criminals come out of jail worse than before. - Junkey, on 01/18/2009, -9/+116Boy George I have advice. The first day just walk in look around and find the biggest dude there, and suck his *****.
- upick, on 01/18/2009, -11/+80I feel bad for the guy, but the law is the law and you gotta go to jail buddy. Don't pick up the soap
- dudestuff, on 01/19/2009, -2/+68good idea. it's always nice to hear someone speaking from experience.
- one504, on 01/18/2009, -6/+62I don't care what you do in prison as long as you don't sing.
- 98PercentChimp, on 01/18/2009, -4/+60Don't worry Boy George...you're in no more danger than any other transgendered 80's pop star in there...oh, wait.
- BullHunter, on 01/18/2009, -6/+60I can think of a few things his inmates would want to do to him...
- inactive, on 01/18/2009, -1/+53I just dont buy that we havent come with a better "reformatory" (jail) system. There has to be some intere$t behind this. People don't come out being any better.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -8/+57How are they treated like animals? I don't butt ***** my cat.
- datagod, on 01/19/2009, -0/+49While I can feel sympathy for his plight, you really have to ask yourself what kind of a person imprisons a male escort and then beats them with a chain.
- radu79, on 01/19/2009, -2/+42Hmm, I don't know, maybe respect their basic rights in jail, such as makign sure that people are not attacked and raped by other inmates?
- Gnar04, on 01/19/2009, -3/+40are we talking about his first day in prison? or your first day freshman year?
- PepperLeStrad, on 01/19/2009, -2/+37The guy imprisoned another person and thrashed him with a chain and now hes crying about going to jail? STOP DOING STUPID CRAP! no pity for him at all.
- neagaric, on 01/18/2009, -7/+40Don't worry BG, they won't kill you. They need a woman in there...
- inactive, on 01/18/2009, -1/+34There's not much demand for it. Most people seem to have this attitude that rape and/or murder in jail is part of the punishment. By that logic, I don't know why we even have jails at all. If we're not concerned with reforming people at all, if we don't think that they'll be rehabilitated by the time they're let out or we just don't care, and we have no problem with the medieval *****, we should just shoot all felons on the spot and save the effort and money.
- astrotrain, on 01/19/2009, -0/+32Do you really thing they want to hurt him? Or Do you think they want to make him cry?
- strawberyspring, on 01/18/2009, -2/+31This guy is the most unlucky man in the world, he always gets caught
- PrintScrn12, on 01/19/2009, -0/+29They're gonna get him. They are gonna get him and get his autograph!
- baysidecomedy, on 01/19/2009, -4/+29They will pass his ass around like currency
- smotpoker, on 01/19/2009, -0/+24The problem is people support incarceration for different reasons and those with the most say (rich people and corporate-sponsered politicians) seem to have the least chance of going.
If you or a loved one has gone to jail, your opinion/experience is automatically rendered void by much of society. If you or a loved one haven't been (yet), you are likely lulled into a false sense of security and think the justice system is much more fair than it really is and/or consider common criminals to be a completely distinct and unreasonable subset of people. If you work for the government in any capacity, it is necessary to ignore reality for personal gain or just to make a living.
Of those who have that false sense of security, many are very different ideologically and that difference is apparent in different regions with large proportions of one ideology. Many people think jail should be a rehab service to help criminals find alternatives to crime. Others think it should just punish them and ignore the fact they will not have any more options when they get out because they think circumstances have little/nothing to do with criminal behavior. Some people just think it should be used to keep criminals separate from the rest of society and people never change. - kevinosborne, on 01/19/2009, -1/+22as an ex prison inmate... thank you.
'rehabilitation' in prison is a joke. how can five minutes of positive interaction a week compete with an otherwise unrelenting hell? protip: it can't.
prison as a punitive measure is an effective deterrent, at least in theory. most would rather die than return though, and as prison leaves you in a worse life position than before you went in coupled with an intense hate of everything and everyone in 'civil' society, what you end up with is guys with nothing more to lose and no sense of compassion for anyone but themselves.
that said, he'll be fine. and by that, i mean he'll live. he will be raped and beaten, sure. but one thing prison teaches you is that life goes on, completely oblivious and without pause, no matter how awful your existence happens to be. - inactive, on 01/19/2009, -4/+23i'd weep too if i was boy george. prison or no prison.
- adamkeats19, on 01/18/2009, -2/+20or do.. whatever floats your boat
- ZincSaucier, on 01/19/2009, -4/+22"Why don't they just call him girl george, it would cut down on all the confusion, I think" - Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Halsfield, on 01/19/2009, -1/+18I think anyone that is ok with allowing prison rape to continue to deter future crime should be thrown in prison. Rape and brutality in prison hardens people even more and makes them more ready to commit violent crimes in the future when they get out. Even if prison is not about rehabilitation it should not make them worse than when they go in.
I think this is simply a result of the incredibly swollen prison system we have in America . If we had a lot fewer prisoners we'd have a lot fewer issues controlling the inmates and their behavior inside. - heavystone, on 01/19/2009, -6/+21Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
- Fartbandit, on 01/19/2009, -0/+15Dont worry. He cant.
- spookyttws, on 01/19/2009, -0/+14As long as he doesn't throw on that awful makeup he's been wearing lately, and doesn't mouth off about who he is, no ones going to give a ***** about who he is.That said, I don't think he's going to a Maximum Security prison, he'll just be in with a bunch of drug offenders and B &R offenders, that isn't the type of prison people get raped or ***** up in. They basically sit around and do literally nothing, but read, talk, sleep and detox.
- jabbajabba, on 01/19/2009, -0/+12Cum Cuma cuma cuma cuma the inmate johns. They cum and go, they cum and go woah.
- cfuse, on 01/19/2009, -1/+13And how is that any different than any other day for him?
- JeffD, on 01/19/2009, -0/+11He held someone against their will and beat them with a chain. I don't think house arrest would really cut it.
- harrynotlarry, on 01/19/2009, -0/+11I'm sure he will be fine, by fine I mean shanked with a shiv and then shived with a shank.
- dOOBiEx213, on 01/19/2009, -1/+11“I joked that it wasn’t all bad and said he might even find himself a new boyfriend inside prison." Oh, he will... he will.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -3/+13I don't think they'll kill him for "who he is," but I can think of a few of his songs that might warrant execution
- mohsenxp, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1015 months for locking an escort up and beating him with a chain.
In celebrity terms, that's a life time.
In normal terms, that's a lucky break. - meed, on 01/19/2009, -4/+14Yes they really want you hurt you.
- CoreyTamas, on 01/19/2009, -1/+10...not THAT fresh.
- JoeyDeacon, on 01/19/2009, -2/+11So let me get this right. He imprisoned a guy and sexually abused him because that is how he gets his kicks?
So what part of being in jail and getting sodomised is he worried about? - DarkenKO, on 01/19/2009, -0/+9at least hes not making racist jokes.
- orph3us, on 01/19/2009, -0/+8feed me a stray cat!
sorry :) it reminded me of american psycho - Gee1004, on 01/19/2009, -0/+8Geesh, I don't think he will mind
- cocainxbluez, on 01/19/2009, -3/+11This is kinda a tough one because I don't think someone should have to go to jail with that kind of target on his back... or ass but at the same time there are gang members and such that are clearly going in as targets too. So you can't give everyone like that special treatment. I think the real answer is that the current prison system doesn't work. It's like going to school to learn how to become a tougher and better criminal. They come out twice as strong and their only education is in crime. If anything this hopefully puts a spotlight on the decrepit and clearly broken prison system. I don't have all the answers but I know a wrong one when I see it.
- exeprime, on 01/19/2009, -0/+8And he should not have locked and beat a guy up with a chain. What the hell, can't expect sympathy after that.
- maxshanly, on 01/19/2009, -3/+11Prisoners at Wormwood Scrubs were today asked by Boy George "Do you really want to hurt me," and "do you really want to make me cry!?" Ninety nine percent of inmates said yes, the other one percent said yes, but not before arse raping him.
- Xalorous, on 01/19/2009, -1/+8You're arguing criminality by nature and criminality by nurture in the same breath. The theory behind rehabilitating people in prison is that those who are driven to become criminals due to the environment to which they have been exposed can, theoretically, be retrained into functioning citizens. People who are criminal by nature are by definition criminally insane and belong in institutions designed to care for them.
The problem is that we do not do anything (in the U.S.) to actually rehabilitate prisoners. It is impossible with the sheer numbers of prisoners.
The total problem involves society, the laws, the prisons. And the total solution will require everyone changing, which will only happen when everyone wants to change. And how likely is that? - inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+7I guess they do really want to hurt him. They really made him cry.
- uberduger, on 01/19/2009, -0/+7Hey, don't laugh at him. That's not nice.
- belebih, on 01/19/2009, -4/+11FTA: "Because of his conviction, George is now unlikely to be granted a visa allowingt to perform again in the US and Japan, where he is still a huge star."
Boy George is still huge in the US? What? -
