        As long as these animais kill each other, how can it be a bad thing?

        So you are okay with the death penalty for lesser crimes? Id hate to live in your world.

        Since there is no death penalty for "lesser crimes" it's safe to conclude you live in a dream world asking stupid questions like that.

        Remember that all inmates are not created equal. Some are there for crimes more violent than others. To say "well they're are criminals, no big loss" is to say all criminals are deserving of the death penalty no matter the crime and there can be no rehabilitation.

        Because you and your family wouldn’t be safe with those violent criminals let loose in open society. You want them out let them live in your house let see how safe your family would be. 7 dead should explain everything you would think.

        What objects can we blame for this? What are we going to outlaw? Wait this is in a jail? I am confused on how they can kill if they have no objects to kill with??

        @southcarolina @lindseygraham @timscott #Prison I ask again, why does the USA with 5% of the world"s population incarcerate 25℅ of its prisoners? There is NO excuse for this!

        Good population control, 7 less inmate's being a waste of taxpayers money.

        This facility is know as the most dangerous facility in the state... Portions of the prison were taken over twice in 12&13, and they had 3 hostage situations in the 4 years prior... glad to see they have this prison under such control (enter sarcasm here)...
