    We are talking about prisons, not schools, although I concede that the distinction is getting fuzzier by the day.

        Yes, they have been turned into prisons. It sucks. I wish they weren’t in there. People seem to be conflating my statement, “it’s a dangerous environment”, with something I haven’t said, something like “these are criminals who deserve to be in there.” All I’m saying is they’re in there, it’s dangerous in an environment like that, some people will try to hurt others in a place like that and since they’re there you’ve gotta try to prevent that.

          It does not seem like they are out there to “prevent accidents” more than just abuse inmates. The often cited excuse of “security” just doesn’t fly here.

          Banning knives is one thing bur plastic bottles and headscarves for Afghan detainees are not what I would classify as “dangerous”.
