Would you pay money to see infamous criminals while they're incarcerated?

25 answers , last was 6 years ago

I was watching a documentary on Ted Kezenski tonight locked up in the supermax in Colorado, and it got me to wondering......
If there were ONE prison, that held all the (live) infamous criminals in the country, ... Charles Manson, Ted Kezenski, etc. .... and they were put on show as an exibition where the public could pay to see them, would you pay money to see it? It would be like... going to the aquarium, or the Zoo. Venders could sell individual cigarettes that you could give them if they did tricks like rolling over, etc. ..... would you do it? (this is stretching, But how cool would it be if you could buy a long stick to poke them with!) Maybe whomever spit the biggest loogie on them could get a 2 for 1 pass. *shrug*
I want to apologize in advance if anyone is offended who lost someone by a horrid crime, But if the funds went torward restitution and paying for their incarceration, would you pay money to see it?
I know this is a strange question, But i'm curious.
Personally..... I would. Any takers?

I like my entertainment a little less.. real world. If I want criminals on tv doing cute tricks, I only need to turn on the evening news.

No.. certainly not.. i dont like watching any kind of offense done to anyone.. who are we to judge whether the person was right or wrong..

Instead of paying money to watch all that i would rather make use of it in a better way..

No. I might pay money into a general fund...maybe an IRS checkoff box on the tax forms. I don't care to get close to bad-actors. I'm grateful that there are people willing to work in law enforcement and prison guards, etc. It's not for me. I'm too likely to excuse bad behavior on the grounds of abusive upbringing, or mental illness.

I allready feel sad about animals in a zoo who would be better off where they belong! All 'infamous' do not belong to jail, but orhers do, and those who do should not get more attention than regular people struggeling to make ends meat! Those later I'd gladly pay an entrence fee if that could help them in their everyday life!

Nice that you actually mean infamous, as opposed to famous. No, either way.

I would feel my humanity die, being entertained by the suffering of others!

Nope . . . isn't attention a big part of what many infamous criminals are seeking? Wouldn't give them the time of day.
