Yes I'm glad he's going to prison but prison rape and prison violence in general is partly why our system is so poo poo and produces criminals that come out more violent than going in.

Either you want a just, effective system that rehabilitates people and prevents further people from being victimized and undoes violent conditioning or you get a system where the people you hate suffer and are destroyed, you get either one or the other, you can't have both nor can you have exceptions.

Who knows but most convicts are not Weinsteins nor were able to carry out their crimes because of any power, financial or otherwise, they held over others.

So let's convert the system to a rehabilitative model with the following exception: On conviction for a felony if your personal wealth exceeds x percentage of median wealth compared to the rest of the population you do not pass go and report directly to :guillotine:

I think taking former Mr. Money & Power and putting him in a world where he has little to no say in his schedule or activities should be humbling at worst and give him an appreciation for those who have to dance to another's tune at best.

This sentence is also getting some play in the schadenfreude thread, which it should, because I am drinking rich schadenfreude at this fat poopy gently caress's conviction. Suck it loser.

US prison system is broken but what good would it be to rehabilitate a disgusting monster like Harvey Weinstein? You need to look at prisons as providing a public good. Weinstein isn't any good to anyone outside of prison. What's he going to do? make more films and more money so he has even more agency to perpetrate sexual violence? In any society you're going to have a percentage of people that use their influence, wealth, physical strength, intellect, etc. to take advantage of others. Prisons suck because they concentrate all of those people into one place.

The point is that barbaric and archaic practices and standards in the prison system need to be wholesale abolished and replaced with effective measures that address the majority of cases for the common good and the very notion of destroying "monsters" or it being a means of the government channeling public anger and resentment through the prison system is a symptom of a sick society that cares more about base emotional satisfaction and vengeance over pragmatism and humanity.

So basically in that system Weinstein would serve a long, long sentence but he wouldn't be subject to the hell on earth that modern American prisons are because there is literally no point to it other than making us happy to see that people who "deserve" it being harmed.

That desire is entirely incongruent and incompatible with a healthy justice system. They cannot exist together. Our prison system in this country is just a reflection of our social mores and customs. People here are vengeful and umempathetic pricks who look for short term satisfaction over longterm results, so the prison system is the same.

If you want a good justice system you'll just have to accept the fact that people like Weinstein are allowed to live in humane conditions for two decades or until they die so that hundreds of other people can get the real help and rehabilitation they need. In the end we will have less victims of violence in the world. Fair exchange.

The "US prisons need to rehabilitate" crowd need to realize that prisons have psychologists, social workers, medical staff, and parole officers in place for this reason. The system needs to rehabilitate, but inmates need to take personal responsibility for their actions before that can happen. As someone who's been close to the CJ system, I'll say that there is definitely a "prison culture" of denial, deflection, and minimization of offences. In order for "rehabilitation" to begin individuals need to accept that they have agency in their own lives and part of that is admission and acceptance that their own actions have been (often extremely) harmful to others. Very few inmates have this ability, and if they do, they don't want to play along.

No one disagrees with that, but the system here is increasingly privatized and used for slave labor while practicing human rights abuses and formenting environments that produce violent criminals. The current method doesn't work and in fact is counter productive.

Also how is anything you said an excuse for brutalizing prisoners and inhumane conditions?

I never said anything calling for the brutalization of prisoners, actually. I'm against prison violence. I just believe that man of Weinstein's caliber should be effectively removed from civil society and not be offered counselling and rehab opportunities.

I can agree with that, given the severity of offenses, the age of the perpetrator, and the likelihood of meaningful rehabilitation, some people are just better off in institutions. The institutions just can't be monstrous.

Elderly people in Japan are getting arrested on purpose because they want to go to prison

Some senior citizens in Japan are intentionally committing petty crimes because they view life in jail as better than life outside

In prisons, one out of every five inmates is a senior citizen. And in many cases — nine out of 10, for senior women — the crime that lands them in jail is petty shoplifting.

I agree that it's a bad idea to gather a group of people together with shared backgrounds, isolate them for years, expect them to conform to an artificial system of rules and inputs and then expect something good to come from them.

Well for starters people wouldn't be getting raped by him and he wouldn't be a drain on the system so it's a win/win. If you care more about punishment than the prevention of further crimes then I guess your way works.
