Reading the Prison Manual is a thing that every citizen of the State should do at least once in their lifetime. It reveals the absurdity of the things we do for and because of State.

One brutal part is that condemned people are allowed tobacco while other imprisoned people are not.

They are allowed to ask for indulgences such as books (from most sources, sometimes even paid for by the State) and even religious ministers even if they are of another religion.

They, or any other person imprisoned by the State, is not allowed to commit suicide. Their cells will be lighted even at night. The officials will inspect the cell and search the imprisoned’s body frequently to ensure that there are no objects that would help the imprisoned commit suicide.

Despite this care, the method, time, height of the drop, the diameter of the rope—all of these are described. That the extinguision of life must be exact, i.e., it must be done by the State and nobody else—this is the point.

A contingent ‘soveriegn’ that arose at a random point in history is making a claim that the people who constitute it can be killed by it if it decides so. And that if anybody else does this, then they are to be punished by death.

So death penalty is basically the State’s way of saying that only I can take life. If you take life, I will take your life in turn.

State is the ultimate dom-daddy.

It is funny that in a dom-sub, daddy-little girl dynamic, the same logic plays out. If X is my sub, then I am the only one to which she will submit entirely. I am not worried about she having sex with other people because the ultimate act of submission, that is the giving up of all control over herself, happens only when I am the one taking those controls. I can use her as I wish. Choke her, not listen to her pleas to stop, pull her hair, tear her dress.

But even in this act, the dom is not allowed to either kill her or impregnate her. The first because that right is reserved for the State, and the second because neither the dom nor the sub can afford to have a child—because job, money, time and so on.

The State interferes, then ‘care over life’ interferes.

Don’t kill others, don’t make babies.
