This is almost word for word something a 27 year old who works as a pre-school teacher once said to me, though you're missing the bit about bringing back hard labour.

What if we followed a model with an incredibly low recidivism rate instead of one that legally allows the use of prisoners as slaves to line the pockets of rich assholes?????

In this lovely society, that would mean that smoking weed would skyrocket and official suicide rates would plummet.

I don't see how rich people benefit more from low recidivism rates rather than privatised prisons and slave labour.

Displeased Moo Cow posted:Which is great as we are supposedly an advanced civilisation or some poo poo but you know, killing people, stealing poo poo that ain't yours or beating the poo poo out of people ain't cool and has an effect that requires at least a sense of adequate justice. Maybe adequate justice shouldn't be thought of in terms of suffering but rather in terms of fixing the problem that led to the initial grievance? Or making up for it somehow? How does the sacrifice of years of one person's life make the world a better place? Like, in the best case, it makes the world less of a bad place but I don't see how it fixes anything.

I understand that point, however it needs to be balanced with accounting for the crime. But recidivism rates are depressingly high.

It's the mark of a civilised society not to suspend rule of law even in the most challenging circumstances, I think. And there's a reason why Norway has such a low rate of recidivism.

I think it's clear we need to go back to an emotion-based eye for an eye type thing with no peer oversight on "justice", because individuals taking it into their own hands to right problems and/or punish perceived wrongdoers is what this society is based on. When has a bereaved family member, or even an uninformed 3rd party's opinion on anything ever been wrong?

Oh, there seems to be some confusion. You're under the impression that that was a response directed to you, when in actual fact it was mocking you and your opinions which are so egregiously terrible that they don't merit any form of good-faith response. That's my fault, I should have been clearer. Apologies for the mix up.

So are you saying you support mandatory life sentences with no chance of parole for anyone convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter? echinopsis posted:If there isn't enough punishment at all, prison isn't a deterrent. How would you feel about someone committing a crime so that they would be sent to jail, for the benefits that prison provides. If prison is pleasant and nice enough, and the outside world grows ever unappealing, then it stands to reason people would want to do that. Even if it were 'pleasant and nice enough', the vast, vast majority of people who might even consider committing minor crimes because they want to have their basic means provided for probably are not going to want to be incarcerated with violent offenders, and gang members.

In the case that people out in the world have to suffer huge student loans to study, yet a prisoner can be "rewarded" for commiting a crime with free board/food and education.... Vagabundo posted:You're free to believe that, but I'd rather focus be put on rehabilitation and prevention. Me too. Seems to me there should be two main aspects of prison, retribution and rehabilitation. Or do you not think retribution is worth considering? I don't know enough about these things to comment but I can question. It's easy to think that if prison is bad enough, it's enough of a deterrent so people don't commit crimes because they don't want to go to jail. This doesn't always work coz some US prisons are terrible places but they have massive rates of incarceration. Although they also lock people up for stupid poo poo so you can't really say it does or doesn't work. If there isn't enough punishment at all, prison isn't a deterrent. How would you feel about someone committing a crime so that they would be sent to jail, for the benefits that prison provides.

Because... echinopsis posted:If punishment for a crime is a deterrent of a crime then the punishment needs to be executed for the deterrent to work. Otherwise it would be a pointless empty threat if one were to look at things such as recidivism and crime rates, states where the focus of prisons is punishment tend to have higher numbers. There's a reason why, as Exclamation Marx has mentioned, places like the Scandinavian states have remarkably low recidivism rates. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jul 26, 2015 |

If going to prison is seen as a preferable alternative to not being incarcerated, then that society has failed to begin with. I'm guessing you're just playing the devil's advocate here, but that is an astoundingly stupid loving argument.
