Wow my last post is a lot more fucked up than it was funny and actually has me wondering : What if they started doing forced conscription for the "for-life," prisoners or prisoners on death row to be ICE Agents?

That's been the case with Russian recruiting since about the start of the second year of the Ukraine war.

Googled him again just now and read more into him. That was truly a monster of a I can't even say human.

But after looking into how it went before which I never knew even happened before at a point in time but go fuckin' figure it's happened before🤦🏻‍♂️ I suppose it answers my question of how would it go forcing conscription upon prisoners serving life sentences or are on death row to be ICE Agents. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It wouldn't go well at all.

Oskar himself was convicted of raping a 14 year old girl in the 1920s.
