Yes. Psychopaths definitely exist

To add a second, more cynical comment: if it is ok for our children to be addicted to these devices and staring at them like zombies … why not just give the devices to prisoners, and let them have the luxury of being zombified? It would solve a few problems and also it would offer avenues to retrain their minds in regard to mental health techniques, behavior modification training and things like that - via the apps which would be available to them. Obviously we aren’t going to let them watch YouTube all day, but tablets could be maximized in place of or in addition to mental health services for people who are sitting around causing trouble out of boredom. Just my two cents

I love ideas for prison reform. Often when I read about a ruthless murdering criminal in the news, I find myself looking past that behavior and into the persons life prior to the crime assault or murder they committed. Underneath all of this is a human being who is hurting pretty badly and has been for quite some time. It doesn’t excuse their actions but really, sometimes people truly have absolutely nowhere to turn for help and they just start making one terrible choice after another.
