PRISONS
I will layout my solution to the incarceration (or lack of) problem in this country, but first, I have to apologize to all the citizens of Hawai'i.
The people of Hawai'i will be relocated, given forty acres and a mule and sent to the Four Corners region of continental United States - Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. There they will be free to terra form the desert and make bloom into a new paradise, a la Israel. In fact, they may rename this area Hawai'i II.
The islands of Hawai'i will be renamed 'Banishment' and be repopulated with convicted criminals of the Grade II variety, meaning anything short of murder, rape, child abuse, sexual perverts, this being Grade I offenders. These people will be vaporized with the Blue Flame device used by the military in the Iraq War.
Thieves, persistent drug addicts and dealers, spousal abusers, CEOs and Board of Directors of major corporations harming the population, crooked public servants and other anti-social deviant minds will be shipped to Banishment, thrown overboard one half mile from shore. There will be no communication what so ever with Banishment, no imports of food, medicine or supplies will be allowed. A no-fly zone will be enacted and patrol ships will circle the islands but never port.
No news or information will come in or out of Banishment. The people there will decide how to 'get along'. If they don't, no one will know the difference.
Making allowances for 'youthful indiscretions', sub18 years, present prisons and jails will be used but redecorated in current Hawai'i theme. The guards and staff will dress Polynesian, there will be fake palm trees around the grounds, even a Luau on Friday night with friend baloney, salt water, stale bread and pineapple flavored chitlins.
If the people of Hawai'i put up a fuss, we will use Antarctica.
