Its supposed to be rehabilitation to return to society.

It should be, but US prisons in reality are mostly about punishment and using prisoners as slaves for free labor.

It isn't allowed, technically.

Ultimately it is up to the guards to be diligent and maintain good order and discipline among the prison population. Any violence that does happen should be addressed promptly and usually is.
There are people in this topic that seem to believe in prison justice, so they want more punishment than what the persons sentence entailed, usually meaning violence.

This attitude cant exist on a large scale if we want actual prison reform. Its not allowed but prison violence is heavily encouraged against certain people, which means its accepted at some level.

Yeah, and some of the people in this topic are fine with that, which is fucked up

Mass Murderers
Child rapists/abusers
Torturers
Animal cruelty scumbags
Some specific examples where the criminal blatantly got way too light of a sentence (though usually those seem to be cases where they get no prison time at all just community service or home confinement or such, so even "prison justice" isn't on the table)

For the above, yes. For anyone else, no (which includes Danny).

Because clearly the ones who should be the arbiters of whether or not people got an appropriate sentence for their crime are . . . violent criminals who want to carry on raping and murdering.

We're never going to get prison reform as long as people keep defaulting to "prisoners are subhuman."

No. Prisons need to be orderly.

We're never getting prison reform as long as its a legal form of slavery for the State and the State can force these people into labor.

And that's before you get into the for-profit prison system that would neuter and rebuke any changes
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.
I despise the violence in the abstract, but I will not feel sorry for wicked people who meet consequences/comeuppance.

Yes.

All three of these things are true.

Two things are true, for me, anyway:

1.) I do not have sympathy for Danny Masterson, even though he was the victim, because he isn't a good person.

2.) I still, however, do not think prison violence or mob violence is a good thing.

If I were to try to dumb it down, it's like if someone cut me off in traffic and then I saw them get pulled over. Dealing with cops is fuckin awful, but I would be lying if I didn't feel a little bit of karmic schadenfreude.

Prison shouldnt be about punishment.

There's a lot of pepole who think that abuse is just to be expected in prison because" Sinners and losers get what they deserve." And that prison should be nothing but punishment and suffering because its " just the gateway to hell were the damned will spend the rest of time being tortured anyway. Further more they don't think most crooks can ever be" reformed" and think more or less its something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBbnvOqVNyM

It's acceptable in that I'm not going out of my way to advocate for pedos, rapists and murderers who are mistreated in prison.
That said, if prison reform was ever put on the ballot, I'd absolutely vote for it.

It's not like that, though. The more apt analogy is the person cutting you off is getting car jacked just down the street while the cop whose duty is to maintain order is unable to do so because he's overwhelmed by too much responsibility or is inadequately trained to handle the situation or simply doesn't give a shit.
