Of course she gets a puppy and not an adult dog.

[-] frazw@lemmy.world 95 points 9 months ago

Why is no one concerned about how unfair this is for the puppy?

[-] YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 42 points 9 months ago

It was this or send it home with Kristi Noem.

Yeah this seems like cruel and unusual treatment for the dog.

At least with average pet standards in the US, owners take pets for walks, bring pets to playdates with others, take pets to the vet regularly for check ups, etc

I don't see this story any different from Maxwell using this puppy for emotional support. There's nothing wrong with that, so long as the animals has its rights upheld. Don't think puppies can do this much in jail.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago

Unfair? It’s traded up the dog house for the big house.

I hope the puppy is wearing a wire and catches her incriminating herself.

And then pees on her.

[-] credo@lemmy.world 51 points 9 months ago

Doesn’t matter. They already have the evidence they need and aren’t releasing it.

This is to keep her from speaking publicly.

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

She's already spoken and says Trump?, never heard of him

I recall there being a specific rule with that prison program that barred her because her crimes were sexual in nature.

Egg on my face for assuming rules would apply to the President's special lil' child trafficker.

[-] arrow74@lemmy.zip 11 points 9 months ago

To be fair this presidency is showing the flaws in our system. Too much of our society is based on "rules" not law. A president can change the rules in an agency as long as they follow the law*. Basically congress needs to step up and codify many of these rules.

*That's how it's supposed to work, but you know Trump and the Supreme Court are not great

[-] bingrazer@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

While I agree that we need more of the rules codified in law, the law hasn’t exactly stopped them from doing a lot of stuff either.

Business partner/coconspirator*

Hasn't she played with enough adolescent things?

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Trump gets the us economy to play with instead of jail. This tracks.

[-] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

That puppy is NOT safe.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 17 points 9 months ago

Just wait until Kristi Noem shows up.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh god please at least give her an adult dog? She's played with enough "puppies", has she not?

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 12 points 9 months ago

She will find a way to exploit the creature for her own benefit and then discard it when it no longer serves a purpose.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 months ago

What did the puppy do to deserve that?

[-] Fleur_@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 9 months ago

Prisons are for separating people from society where they can do damage, they don't have to be cruel

[-] HeadyBroccoli@lemmy.zip 13 points 9 months ago

That’s absolutely true, but they’re also for punishment and rehabilitation. Giving her access to a puppy in my eyes is the opposite of punishment, and she ain’t getting rehabilitated. This person destroyed thousands of lives if not more including those of children. This monster deserves zero sympathy and zero pleasures. The fact that she’s in a cushy prison is disgusting and wrong. There’s no justice for the countless victims and their families.

although I agree with you in general. it's frustrating that rich people get rich people jail, which is basically what all jails should be, but everyone else gets forced labour torture camps for minor drug offences.

Imagine you're building more comfortable prisons to house all the people incarcerated in the US. Who do you move to the comfy prisons first? Elderly inmates? Non-violent offenders? While all the inmates deserve better treatment, I'd prioritize those who have committed less severe crimes.

They shouldn’t be nice either. She committed real crimes and ruined the lives of dozens of women/girls. She shouldn’t get to play with puppies or touch the internet. She should be made to live the rest of her life working to apologize and make “right” whatever way possible.

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I'm general, I think jails should be humane a place for healing and recovery.

HOWEVER, what pisses me off is that rich pedophiles get the noce jail, while minor drug offences get forced labour torture camps. two tier justice system.

True. But there are other prisoners who deserve puppies and kittens. Not her. I would rather see a few murderers get an innocent animal to care for and learn how to love instead of that fucking bitch.

I hope the puppy has rabies and goes for her jugular in her sleep and using it like a cotton dog toy ripping it apart.

[-] sudo@lemmy.today 5 points 9 months ago

What'd that puppy ever do to deserve rabies?

Does she just play with the puppy sometimes or is it in her cell keeping her company all the time?

This lady deserves to suffer but inmates in this county are treated terribly. I could really get behind programs where inmates are raising and training puppies.

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago

The prisons that do participate have seen huge reduction in recidivism.

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

As much as I'd like to see this creature meet a firing squad, all prisoners deserve to be treated as people. I do have an issue with her "knowing the right people" and being treated differently.

Jesus Christ. Someone save that poor dog before she trafficks it to the other criminals.

[-] jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk 7 points 9 months ago

So is it pronounced "Jizz-lane"?

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

As Josh Johnson has said, “you know Trump was close with Maxwell when he never once mispronounced her name and has zero problem with that silent ‘s’”.

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Likely not when we're taking about a child rapist.
