That's a prison thing right?I go both ways.
Don’t drag this back up. It was settled that beans are a paupers food and have no place in any respectable dish. You sir can go straight to meat missile prison with that behavior and are only serving as a demonstrable to his proposition.

That's a prison thing right?
Pretty sure it's a joke thread about the fact that people actually do think that about the military. Like it's a machine that churns out good/moral people.You think people come out of incarceration a changed and better person?
The mandatory military service thread got me thinking. I think every US inhabitant would benefit from spending a year in adult prison. Not a work camp or some sort of prisney land with lots of privileges. Just bare bones, close custody. Go in on your 18th birthday and release on your 19th.
- You have nothing to do but work out. Boom! There goes the childhood obesity epidemic.
- You learn to respect others and their space.
- Being an asshole results in pain. Too many have lost the association between poor behavior and pain.
Mandatory one year bare bones adult prison at 18 for everyone close custody, no privileges, just workouts and hard lessons sounds like a tough love fix for obesity, disrespect, and unchecked bad behavior but real world evidence shows it would backfire hard.
Studies on US prison weight changes find inmates often gain weight especially women, shorter sentences spike it more, due to starchy food, limited real exercise, stress eating, and depression not lose it like a boot camp. Physical fitness can drop without structured programs, and obesity rates in prisons frequently exceed or match community levels, not fix the epidemic.
Psychologically, even one year in harsh adult close custody traumatizes young adults: high PTSD rates up to 48% in some samples 9% general, anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, and "Post Incarceration Syndrome" that lingers long after release. Witnessing experiencing violence, isolation, and loss of autonomy often worsen impulsivity, aggression, and substance issues exactly the opposite of teaching respect or self control. Youth in adult facilities face way higher abuse, suicide risk 36x more, and long term mental health damage, fueling cycles of crime, not breaking them.
