Huh?
Well you are talking about going to visit...
I wonder is prison tourism any more acceptable than orphanage tourism?
There may well actually be a high %age of population crossover.
I am not sure your point or your motivation in your reply, however, there are several good reasons to visit a prison. For one, accountability and human rights, and also for humanitarian reasons, thirdly for supporting a friend or acquaintance, and fourthly, as you have indicated, for voyeurism which is not a good reason.
I will not lie, I am curious, however, I have toured a womens prison as part of visitation group I was involved with, as well as I have also visited an inmate at a maximum security prison as a favor to his mother. People in prison most often SHOULD be there, but they are still human beings, and a little compassion can surely alleviate some of their mental suffering. I am almost certain that if you have the right heart and purpose, most inmates would welcome your visit.
I am actually interested in doing something related to prison work, as far as my voluntary contribution to society would be concerned. The idea of being locked in a box, helpless to manage your own affairs and therefore totally dependent upon the care of your captors frightens me on a personal level. If you need access to medication or care and your plea's fall upon deaf ears, its fucked up. I actually do not care who you are or what you have done, it is not right to let a human being suffer, in spite of their loss of freedom ah, but I digress.
