Mirror Cells
For your punishment, you will face... yourself! | |
A jail cell for drug addicts. Most of them can't stand to look at
themselves in a mirror, so my proposed punishment is a chamber
consisting entirely of mirrored surfaces. Floor, ceiling, and walls. Even
the door, flush-mounted in the mirrored wall. Not a single break or
visible seam in the entire
chamber,
except for the single, soft light in
the center of the ceiling, floor, and each wall.

Hmm. The mirror's at the hairdresser are bad enough. I'm
not sure to bun this because it would be an effective
punishment, or bone it because it's cruel.
|
|
| |
On balance, I will bone it because you spelled "ceiling"
wrong. |
|
| |
The mirror's reflection, of course. Do try to keep up. |
|
| |
drug addicts are not criminals, they are people with
an addiction. You are mean. Santa will not be popping
by your house this year. |
|
| |
It's only meant for the ones who commit drug-induced or drug-
related crimes, Bliss. |
|
| |
Probably the wrong way to go about it but making
people reflect more is a good thing, especially about
actions that destroy social harmony. |
|
| |
This would drive the prisoner to suicide, and give them the
means to do it. |
|
| |
Either way... one less drug addict in the world. It's a good thing. And all it takes is a few, video recorded and shown on Prime-time TV, to drastically reduce the amount of people willing to risk it to commit these kinds of crimes. Do it to the dealers, too.

And Max, I fixed the spelling error. Thanks. |
|
| |
You know I was addicted don't you? |
|

Really, [21 Quest] you think it's a good thing if people who use drugs kill themselves? This from the same person who spouted on about what women should be allowed to use their bodies for, and how the rights of blastocysts supercede all others... but if you use a drug, then go jump off a bridge? What a sanctimonious unfeeling piece of shit you must be.
|
|
| |
Get rid of the stupid fucking drug laws in the first place. Problem solved, and no one has to kill themselves to please [21 Quest]. |

I never said they'd be in there long enough to drive them to
suicide. That assumption was leaped to by DrWorm, and I just
didn't immediately jump on the defensive and correct him. It
would be
implemented, ideally, in hourly increments,
closely supervised by psychologists, preferably with a
background in social work, to determine when they've
had enough. I envisioned this as a kind of a 'facing your fears'
type of treatment, and
only used on those who commit crimes induced by or related to
drug use. And by crimes, I don't mean usage. I mean things like
robbery, assault, murder, rape, and selling to kids. |

It appeared [DrWorm] was pointing out a shortfalling in your plan, that "this would drive the prisoner to suicide," - and your response, [21 Quest]: "Either way... one less drug addict in the world. It's a good thing." I wasn't extrapolating anything, those are direct quotes.
|
|
| |
You dodged my question - do you think it's a good thing that addicts kill themselves? But I don't need your answer, it's self-evident in the postings.
|
|
| |
Your devotion to the sanctity of life comes and goes at whim, seemingly rushing back to you when it's most self-serving to do so. |
|
| |
Hehehe... nice try, tatter, but I'm not going for it. Take your
trolling elsewhere, you'll find no prey here. I meant pushing
them a wee bit over the edge is a good thing, because fear is the
only thing that'll get through to some people. And if some can't
take it and end their lives when they get out, then that's on
them. Probably a better fate than the road their weakness would
have otherwise led them down without love and support from
their friends. If they've got friends and/or
family who care about them, then they can help them cope with
the nightmares of what they saw in the Mirror Cell. Without a
good support system they don't have much of a chance anyway.
But maybe, just maybe, the fear of facing themselves at every
turn will be enough to snap them out of their drug-crazed stupor
and inspire them to get better. |

The infinite reflections will also help them to deal with their existential fears. That is until someone smuggles in a laser pointer and they amuse themselves by seeing how many walls the light can bounce off of before the dot lands on Gary's testicles. |

The fact that it would be perfect to cut a line on would be enough to drive them mad. |
