Do you think it's permissible to force feed the inmates on a food strike at this California prison? Link here: http://news.yahoo.com/us-judge-approves-force-feeding-california-inmates-222948832.html
Oooh that's a tough one. On one hand, the state is still responsible for their well-being. On the other hand, they are making the choice to starve themselves...
I really don't have an answer for this.
The prisons in California are severely overcrowded. The way the state planned to fix the issue, was by releasing thousands of prisoners back into society. There was an uproar and people were concerned for their safety, but of course the state will only release those prisoners who are no longer a threat to society.
I remember reading about a young man (I don't recall his name) who kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and murdered little boys. He was caught and received extensive therapy for about 30 years (approx.). His doctors deemed him no longer a threat, and gave him his first day pass. He spent his day kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and murdering a little girl.
My personal opinion is that there is no way of knowing for certain who is or isn't a threat. And as awful as it sounds, I'd rather the state let those prisoners starve (since it was their choice to do so), so that not as many prisoners would be released. :(
