Prisoners in the US may soon be allowed to get up to a year off their sentence in return for trading one of their organs.

The new bill being proposed in the Massachusetts state legislature would let people locked up in prison volunteer to donate bone marrow or organs in exchange for a lighter sentence.

The Bill limits the amount of time taken off a sentence to a "not less than 60 and not more than 365 day reduction".

It rests “on the condition that the incarcerated individual has donated bone marrow or organ(s)."

The proposed piece of legislation was proposed by Carlos González and Judith A. Garcia, two Democrat lawmakers.

federal bureau of spare parts

followed closely by, "Director of Human Organs"

can't wait for this new government organization that will be corrupted, with organs only being allotted for the uber rich and elite.

I should write a novel.

WTF I love Democrats now

Seriously though, I have no problem with exploiting prisoners as long as the state does not do something colossally retarded like sell it for the cheap to a private company that will sell it at a huge profit.

Which is likely exactly what will happen.

Could someone sell some parts to build up credit within the legal system? Hypothetically speaking, if I donated blood could I get a pass for stomping my wife beater neighbor? What can I get for a kidney?

I'm sorry, what?

That's the stupidest idea I've read today.

And it's late here.

 

[Blayt7hh]

So basically selling their organs

 

[Mike Hagger]

I feel like there’s a human rights aspect that should make me not think this is a good idea. But for the time being, I like it, it’s a community service. Win, win.

 

[Two Crows]

Wow.

Extraordinarily bad idea.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Would anyone be stupid enough to trade a kidney for less than a year reduction?

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Hell no

 

[nostradumbass]

Lol at the racist reason. Black people aren't donating enough organs and bone marrow, so this guy decided "I hear prisons have a bunch of blacks, let's harvest organs from there".

He said: “More than two out of three white people find a bone marrow match, whereas most people of colour have less than a 50 percent chance of finding a match.

"Those who require transplants are disproportionately people of colour."

The other co-presenter Judith García said on Twitter the Bill will “restore bodily autonomy to incarcerated folks by providing opportunity to donate organs and bone marrow.
