prison gospel (revised)

I think prison should be like this: All prison should be is a place like a studio apartment and a system of gps ankle monitors that ensure the inmates don't go where they aren't scheduled to be. There are no locks confining inmates to one area. Socialization and visitation are not forbidden, but in excess they may lengthen the inmates sentence, because they will detract from the main focus of this system, which is study of holy books. They will be provided with 2 hours of entertainment per day, like a television and gaming console. There will be designated recreational areas near the housing in case the inmate would rather spend those two hours outdoors.

Once all mankind has the basic necessities, only then can we dream about what we might want everyone in the world to have like a computer with Terry Davis' TempleOS operating system on it. Then we will only share 1 computer per 5 people do we don't drain our lithium, iron or gold resources too much and that's basically all anyone will need besides food and drink and we will all rejoice. And everyone will have up to two bicycles in case one of them flattens a tire, but if both are in working order than we must allow anyone at all to use it, in case of emergencies.
