Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted August 12, 2022 The word "inmate" appears in Webster's New World Dictionary in New York, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022. New York has amended a series of state laws to remove the word "inmate" and replace it with "incarcerated person" to refer to people serving prison time. The changes, signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul, are intended to reduce the stigma of being in being in jail. Republicans ridiculed the measure as coddling criminals 90 percent of people probably cant spell incarcerated, let alone some dumb inmate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 1,162 Posted August 12, 2022 What liberal reformers have never understood is that the label does not carry the negative implications, the negative implications color the label. Take the constant evolution of the nomenclature for blacks. It has gone through several iterations, each time to get out from under the negative associations with the label. Each time the new label gains the associations and so it too needs to be changed. If the "reformers" want to change the term, fine, I can put as much stink on the new term as the former. In fact I look forward to it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
