The problem here is that, even though I personally got a KKK memeber Court Marshalled for trying to recruit while on active duty in the USAF, then I put another in Prison for trying to rip off my Grandfather (a grudge attack to avenge the first guy), and – finally – I’ve been fending off, with only partial success, a series of ‘attacks’ upon my Disability Status, etc., that I know the Klan in The Fed were initiating against me (there’s a Jewish guy who I fired whose been helping them do this, too; for the record); I’d still not want to have my bunghole enlarged by some NON-WHITE Prison Gang.
Most White Supremacist, like Hitlers Brown Shirts, are Losers – and prisons are full of those; what we need here is a Major Reform of the Justice System in general – and to eliminate Prohibition as well; since too many of these ‘grist for the White Supremacists recruitment mill’ types are in jail for POT!
That the Klan would gain members – that young people would become totally disillusioned with The Law and Our Country, just for loving the Kind Bud – ACH!!!

Upon reflection — perhaps these potential losers would not qualify to serve in the US military. There has to be place besides prison where the judge can banish them to in order for them to learn a serious lesson. Perhaps, individually sent into the jungles of Africa or among the poorest in India or China to serve the less unfortunate might mellow them out — replacing the heart (and head) of stone with a heart of flesh. Transforming experiences — that might do it!

When people commit hate crimes against minorities, those same people who are found guilty for hate crimes in a court of law will become the minority behind bars and treated as a member of the minority community in jail.
Comes around—goes around!

We hit our heads against the wall to arrest people for braking the law in varying degrees only to have them run a very small world in our prisons. This occurs in many state/federal prisons throughout the United States, and not solely because the system is bad but because the people who we entrust to do their job simply wont. They allow fear to override common sense I understand the fear of retribution against their families but as long as you feed into the lie of power and hate you are part of the problem. Prison guards are supposed to be trained better than that how can there ever be any justice. Every time this happens and will continue to happen someone always blames the “system” thats not the problem you put people in charge of demons who can not handle it the reform should be with the guards and their responsibility.

Prison is not the answer — prison is just a holding pen for the dregs of society. But these dregs are human beings who have the ability to change. As Martha said, subcultures of gangs develop in prisons. I believe the system is to blame for allowing this to go on. Aryan nation subspecies along with other crudely developed clans develop there. Unfortunately, prison guards — or anyone else for that matter — continually exposed to crap eventually turns to crap themselves. Any individual sentenced for a heinous racial crime should be sent individually on a mission in a remote location to serve time helping others (without exposure to their peers) — if for violent racism against blacks, then to Africa or India, if for violence against whites — then perhaps to the outback of australia or antartica. I think they would learn a far better lesson and possible rehabilitation.
