In any civilized society, manslaughter or murder charges would be being prepared for whoever is in charge of this decision.
The people in prison are not considered humans, remember?

Yes, but they are valuable slave labor
They would rather let 'em all drown and just top up their slave camps with a fresh batch afterward.
I wouldn't be surprised if the prisoners rebelled and started attacking guards and trying to break out.
If there's a high chance you're going to die in a hurricane ..... might as well take your chances and die trying to escape.
Better than drowning, probably
Yeah for sure I would rather be shot
I wonder how many guards stayed behind
i wish the hurricane takes ron desantis with it and throws him into the sea
And then the hurricane can completely wipe out Mar a Lardo.
Nah, he's definitely not going to put himself in any danger. If I controlled the weather, as suggested by morons, I'd direct it to him, but alas.
In sane countries, prisons are rehabilitative, not punitive.
In the American south you may be switched to execution by act of oil industry
What do you mean?
The severity of this storm is likely due in part to climate change brought about by the oil industry.
Makes sense. I was wondering if there was another layer I was missing
In other countries, schizophrenia causes positive imagery/voices instead of menacing figures and voices.
Wat
How much do you want to bet that they don't even have a contingency plan to evacuate and secure their inmate population?
That's the first thing I thought, got to get the maximum profit out of prisons, contingency planning costs money and it probably won't happen anyway...
CONGRATULATIONS PENAL PALS!
YOUR SENTENCES HAVE BEEN UPGRADED!
You mean reduced?
Randomized!
Why would anyone care about people who have been sent to prison? This is Florida, after all. They want to hurt and oppress as much as possible.
Let's reclassify prisoners as involuntary employees and then try this again with some worker's rights
What are workers rights?
We'd need a constitutional amendment to say they aren't slaves first.
"Slavery is illegal," claims the crying man who said that Roe v Wade is settled law
Anyone ever read The Stand?
"Pleased to meet ya Lloyd! Hope you guessed my name."
Yup. Thought of that right away when I first read this.
DeSatan state strikes again. Heil Florida man and the WoP rats.
