How about being concerned about trying to better the lives of the people those townships then, instead of being concerned about making inmates lives as miserable as possible?

Nope - but they are already killing each other: HIV. anyway, it was proposed that we get rid of social and economic poverty, ie get them jobs so that they can get themselves a better living and stop stealing
Been trying - They just don't use them. 50% of people at University ARE ALREADY HIV positive. Think about the economics: Half the people that the country's economy trains will give a zero return. In order for the economics to work, the state needs you to work, create jobs and pay taxes so that the state can fund the next generation of students. Anti retro virals only help a very small percentage of people that are 100% committed to taking the meds.

I simply disagree here. What you are saing is simply wrong. But HIV is not the point. I think you would do yourself a favor by not looking at the world in a "them and us" view, but to instead use a intergrated perspective. We are all part of this world!

No - getting them jobs would solve the situation. Where do you propose we find jobs for 25 million people where about half you train won't be able to come to work in 2 to 10 years time because of HIV. Then you are not allowed to fire them as the law does not permit this dew to the already high jobless situation. Firing someone due to sickness is discrimination. now you need to train some one again and pay 2 people for one job.

I mostly agree with this, except your take on HIV. But gang related violence does not come out of nothing.

I am glad I am not living in your world. Fortunately my take on the world is a whole lot brighter. I believe in free will, not deternism.
