For serious offenders rightly banged up in stir authorities should construct a chess board size of a tennis court in outside recreation area.The pieces to be constructed of six foot high concrete.This would serve an ideal dual.purpose 1.constructive reform therapy coupled with 2 the hard labour ingredient which will serve to remind them that they are not inside for being good little boys and girls.I rest my case!

I think he wrote, "even this will pass.." in Tamil, which is widely spoken in southern parts of India. I believe he was replying to your post #68. He did not mention any Gods or religion.

Now Corona Vrus-19 has hit San Quentin and no way can they play chess vs outside chess clubs . . .

They are going to release many non violent convicts with only 90 days left . . .

No doubt helping to spread more covid-19 among law - abiding citizens.Solution is to create a new Devils Island and ship them all there where they can fend for themselves.

In USA it is noted that in a number.of States the death penalty has been abolished.In those States which have retained it there appears to exist the farce of multiple appeals available to those who have been sentenced to death.This can go on for years and years and years.In.my opinion the appeal system should be restricted to "two bites of the cherry" only.

RichColorado

Two were executed last week in one of the states that retained the death penalty . . .

Witkrag

I wonder how many years they were.on death row lodging numerous appeals before they were "topped"  - 20years?

Regarding convicts some are fighting the fires here in my Sonoma County and after the might get their records expunged and can become hired as fire fighters for the State of California . . .

Tthe aren't forced to do this they have to volunteer . . .

Hey San Quentin prison is letting half of the prisoners transferred because

28 have died because of the virus . . .

So some of the chess players might be gone also. . .
