The Last Days of Death Row Inmate Scott Dozier

“If you say you’re going to f***ing kill someone, you should f***king kill them.”
Last weekend, death row inmate Scott Dozier apparently decided he was done waiting for Nevada to kill him: Prison officials found him hanging from a bed sheet in his cell.
In 2018, Dozier was set to become the first person in the U.S. executed with fentanyl. Then his execution was postponed. Gianna Toboni reported on the case for VICE on HBO.

[@voraciousreader3341]

So you really think “all” prisoners become book smart in prison? At least, I can’t see that you use any qualifiers regarding numbers. And I would say the prisoners who are well spoken etc were that way before they ever got to prison. The man in this video was! You may become better read, but you need practice to learn to be well spoken, and that happens from childhood on, not in prison. Perhaps you want to believe that prisons are places where violent criminals can be rehabilitated, or you want to believe that prison isn’t as bad as it appears to be. It’s true that those who take advantage of prison education systems, as well as dog training programs for inmates, improves the chances that they’ll stay out of prison if they’re ever released, but these number can highlight for you how very few releasable prisoners take advantage of those education programs, and that you’re vastly overstating the case. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released a study in which 404,638 prisoners in 30 states after their release from prison, and they reported that about 2/3 (67.8%) of released prisoners were rearrested within three years and more than 3/4 were rearrested within 5 years. More than half (56.7%) of these rearrested were in the first year after release. And the recidivism rate goes down with the level of education received, but the study doesn’t say how many of these offenders took advantage of education, and I’ve not yet seen a study that gives hard numbers, maybe bc so many different programs are used. At any rate, this video has nothing to do with prisoners who eventually get out of jail, so education isn’t the point.

It is truly amazing how a killer can persuade people and camouflage themselves with some charisma, personal strength, self-control, eloquence, and articulate speech, and hide behind his identity and the truth of his nature and what he is capable of. People hear what they want to hear, and knowing this and exploiting it can really acquire a dangerous skill. Perhaps there is not enough evidence to convict this person and confirm what he did, but the best thing that can happen to him in the last moments of his life is the little hope that his son will grow up and believe that his father is not a killer and is innocent, because that is what hurts him the most, disappointing someone you love. Truly, we are not free in what we do because we are not free in what we want.
