a drone carrying heroin, marijuana, and tobacco dropped its payload over a prison yard crowded with inmates, causing a brief melee before authorities stamped out the brawl with pepper spray, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC).

Local media reported Tuesday that the July 29 melee at the Mansfield Correctional Institution began moments after a drone let loose with the goods. At least nine inmates began fighting over the package while other inmates rushed toward the brawl.

Hmm, time for cryo prisons? Or should the drug delivery man switch to drones that can travel through the plumbing?

    Because the person I was disagreeing with seemed to think that you don't waive any of your rights when you get caught committing a crime and sentenced to prison.

    Uh no, you are the only one who tried to group all civil rights together, equating gun rights with the right to not be forced into a medically induced coma - that was your premise, not anyone else's.

    Yes, I do know that there's genuinely innocent people in prison,

    And that is a red herring. Maybe you are talking to somebody else?

    Now, had the person I responded to bothered to bring some clarity, the comment wouldn't have really been appropriate.

    Clarity to a well known Dostoevsky quote? Did you think it meant something other than what everybody has been thinking it meant for over a hundred years? Of course you understood the meaning perfectly well because you went on to try and argue that it doesn't apply to prisons in the "developed world."

    What I get from your posts is, "prisoners are subhuman so fuck them." Any attempt to examine that belief more closely causes you to throw as much random, even contradictory, shit at the wall and hope something sticks.
