Abducted Shackles

I read that this woman was held in a basement with chains. All I could think was how horrible it is that hostage takers have not evolved out of Medieval Times. I mean literally, I believe the jouster who loses at Medieval Times is held in chains.

Sure Sure, the actual crime is more terrible, but why can’t abductors evolve with the times. Maybe instead of hard chains fit them with something more flexible. That way the victim can still do their daily yoga or at least feel less like a dog being punished.

How many times has a prisoner been locked in a basement and forced to stare at a wet moldy wall. Go fix your piping and paint your walls preferable green. That way the abductor can put an image of a beach up there. It would be nice for a person to say for once, “I was held hostage for 9 months, but the ocean view was breathtaking.” Or put a TV down there. Even people in jail which let’s face it is where the kidnapper is going allows for TV time. The abductor should also consider, if you are nice and considerate to your victims you may not be shanked in prison and may even get you a pen pal. Maybe your sentence will be to only stay there until you are old and can be broken by a strong gust of wind rather than life.

Also, there is no excuse to starve them. Be a good host and bring them some of your microwave dinner. Every now and then the abductor should be able to suck up bread and water. It would also be nice that you give them something nice to sleep on. I know the army cot is cheap, but so is a sleeping pad. It is time for abductors and criminals in general to be nicer. 

I am just saying if you are going to take someone prisoner do it in a nice way, be the Martha Stewart of abduction. If you make them feel comfortable and then regret your decision they may just call it an impromptu vacation and not press charges. If you do it real well open a Bed and Breakfast.
