After being held here for 5 months, even though I was never supposed to be here I can say that Bill Cosby isn't holed up in some special part of the facility. He is treated like everyone else. He doesn't have a body guard, but there is a trustee that pushes him around in his wheel chair and even gets his meals for him after he gets parked at a table. He usually eats in lunchroom 6 on the east side. I've been sat at a table behind him a few times, he's even given me his pizza one day. Every Saturday he attends a program called the MANN UP program and at the end he usually speaks for a half hour.

Were other prisoners starstruck by being in there with him or did everyone just treat him like everyone else?

he will not be in the cell 23 hours per day. That is a very soft place he was sent to. They get chapel every day, exercise, classes, meals out of the cell. wake up, its a lenient situation, he could have been jailed 15 years ago and still be in there today, and he raped 40-60 women. Name me one person on earth would have gotten the kind of reverent treatment he got.

[@Pumpkingilmour]

the sentence says no less than 3 years.

[@serenafanlife4226]

@Bill Patrick Jones I, am a rape Survivor. NO financial pay out, will ever lessen the ONE and ONLY pay out that he paid out, as hush money. He also, drugged these women. I, believe every woman that came out many, many year's after their drug and rape testimony. They were not all paid out by him, so they did not do it for financial gain nor is coming out reporting being raped, a way to gain celebrity status? He will have it very nice in prison because he is of celebrity status. He is a senior and they take ALOT of naps. The prison will not let him go without proper medical care because of his past celebrity status. I, do not care about a rapist's age when they are convicted. These women came out to speak about him drugging and raping them, so they could support each other and regain their well-being. The trauma from being raped, never goes away. The trauma with some lessens and with other's they have mental/emotional and physical break downs.

[@eascec8374]

This brought me here after Danilo Cavalcante.

[@susanclifton939]

because I LIVE only 3 miles from this new prison I can tell you it was built because the old prison had structural failures, it's foundation was literally sinking. SCI Phoenix was NOT built just to "house celebrities" but was built because Graterford was failing AND was over-crowded. Phoenix also offers women inmate housing, taking a HUGE overflow from other facilities that are overcrowded.

[@dianeogorzalek6986]

While rehabilitation sounds good, let's not forget that the primary role of prison is PUNISHMENT for hurting, raping, assaulting, murdering another human being. The victims and their families will suffer forever. The victims need therapy, counseling and compassion. They need help to cope with fear, loss, grief, PTSD, etc... Yes, some criminals have had struggles that led them to prison. If inmates are paroled and given a second chance at freedom, there should be an attempt (prior to release) to rehabilitate them with job skills, social skills, and independent living skills. This would benefit the inmate and society, as well. But never forget that prior to release, the inmates are there to be punished! Let's devote our resources to the victims, who need and deserve help too!

shananagans5 They're outsourced to private companies who are making all the money. Those private corporations pay bribes known as "lobbying" to keep the gravy train going. We could always go back to the convict leasing systems of the late 1800s so the states are making the money instead. In 1898 73% of Alabama's revenue came from convict leasing.

[@TheTanelChannel]

As an east european, this looks like a full blown 4-5 star hotel or something.. nice nice.. I think inmates should spend their time like in Russias random prisons tbh.

[@ouThhiTusKaevum]

In Europe we still aim for rehabilitation while the US with their long sentences are pushing for eternal punishment, like people live 200 years on average down there. Is that sterile, crapped, lifeless room a hotel for you? Do you think you can get out of that without losing the mind in the process? Prison models should be Scandinavian prisons, which are the proof that whatever one did, he/she can still partake positively in the society with low rate of reoffending. Treat them like rabid dogs, give them junk to eat, keep them caged for half their life then don't get surprised when they are returning back in with new victims.

[@TheTanelChannel]

There is no rehabilitation for murderers. For rapists they can rehabilitate themselves in a Siberian hellhole for 10-30 years. When you build hotels for inmates then OFCOURSE they are going to re-offend when they get out as the life INSIDE is easy peasy.

[@ouThhiTusKaevum]

In my POV there is no rehabilitation for mental illness driven murderers, full stop. The meaning of a prison is to protect the society and to reeducate the inmate, staying locked is the punishment, is not necessary to add on top of this tough conditions unless you keep them locked for life. Think about the soldiers that kill at command sometimes with collateral victims, even when the country they fight for is not threatened, their job is to murder following orders and interests and I see they get along their life as usual, even more they are branded as heroes by the sheep that never saw post-2000 war footage and the brutality involved, they are not showing it on TV. The discussion is too complex than involving only the every day Joe that killed his wife in a rage attack and on a video relating to an American prison the discussion is futile. All i want to say is that the more you stick a bat in the cage pissing the dog, the greater are the possibilities that once you release the dog he will bite you which translates to the prison system failing the citizen.

[@nachobroryan8824]

ouThhiTus In the US we're not pushing for punishment. They're run by corporations so we hope for recidivism so they can continue to make money. That's why we lock up people for weed over and over again.

[@lexbeltran1354]

Prison should be made as horrible as possible so the prisoner would never want to go back. Of course you cannot rehabilitate a murderer or rapist. They should be immediately be executed. Guillotine or firing squad would be a good start.
