Casino and prisons

[PX-Z]

I think sports betting can be found everywhere including an elementary school.

Yeah, as long as there is a sport^(s) where everyone bets, as long as the bettors agreed all the conditions, then it should go. Even it's not about money as long its considered as a bet then it will be.

Criminals are supposed to change their lives inside for them to have at least a second chance to live a better life outside but they are even falling for gambling, drugs, and alcohol addiction. The government can't do anything to stop it because there are also officials that are involved in these activities in the name of money.

Depends on the countries, if there's a country allow to gamble, gambling isn't considered as a illegal activity and vice versa. Government can do anything since they have a whole power to control their country, but they want to get money from illegal gambling that's why they just close their eyes.

This was such case in my country in the last few years where casinos, drug laboratory are discovered inside prisons, and probably got destroyed by the past admin. I don't know if it's still there or a new one is made^{(possibility are higher though)} since the current admin is not that inflexible for crimes unlike the past admin.

It is interesting to note that this casino had no licence and wasn't recognised by the Nevada gaming authorities but the inmates ensured there was no cheating there by creating a self policing system.

This is crazy, even the warden was on the payroll, there's no cheating when criminals arrange games! And it lasted for 35 years, what a crazy story this is! I am not judging or anything, people there had a lot of free time and they created this, but this is a lonely example, for people who were there in that time prison was an excellent time I guess.

This is the first time I have seen something similar, we should expect some movie from this...

What if prisons were given license to operate a casino will it be safe for inmates .

probably not, I can already see an increase in gambling addiction inside the prison if they ever implemented it. also, as far as I know, inmates are not allowed to have cash inside the prison. to be honest I think the only reason why there was a casino inside the Nevada prison is due to corruption among the prison guards and whoever managed that prison.

currently I don't know of any casino that operates in a prison, but from the series and movies and reports that I watch on TV, I see prisoners playing cards and various games and they bet money, I believe that the guards collaborate with the prisoners so that they play and bet money even if it's something that's forbidden in prison, so my idea would be that at least the inmates could gamble by betting something that wasn't money and didn't harm anyone. with that, only prisoners could have fun in prison and they wouldn't be thinking about evil things, of course it's not an easy task to implement this, but for example if prisoners could bet on a coin created in prison that only works in prison and that only the price would change into cash on the day he gets out of prison legally or in case his death was converted into cash for the family then it would already be a benefit system for the inmate, I don't know if this could be done in the future but I think that would be something beneficial and useful for the prisoner

probably not, I can already see an increase in gambling addiction inside the prison if they ever implemented it.

Addicts are everywhere, so I don't believe this would cause the number of addicts in prison to increase to a frightening level.

What if prisons were given license to operate a casino will it be safe for inmates . A similar incidence happened between 1932 and 1967 in Nevada State Prison. Despite not having licence to operate the casino existed for over 35 years and ever since then nothing of this kind has ever occurred.

Throughout its 35 years, various wardens either tolerated the casino or considered it a worthwhile distraction for the inmates. This changed in 1967 when a bill in the State Legislature to prohibit prison gaming was defeated in the Senate. Shortly thereafter, the State Prison Board used its authority to close the casino. The sandstone building which housed the casino was demolished.

It is interesting to note that this casino had no licence and wasn't recognised by the Nevada gaming authorities but the inmates ensured there was no cheating there by creating a self policing system.

If you consider that prisons are meant to be there as a form of punishment, in some cases for extremely sick and serious crimes, then finding new forms of entertainment for prisoners is not exactly going to be on the top of the ideas that the public will support. In fact prisons actually actively try to stamp out the small forms of gambling that prisoners try to get away with because it ends up creating debts and some people create debts they have no intention or even ability to play off. What would prisoners want to do more of after a day of officially sanctioned gambling? Continue it back in the prison block - they have very little else to do to fill their time anyway.
