CrimsonRage posted... Americans favour punishment over rehabilitation. I see no issue with this. It doesn't provide us any benefits in terms of reducing crime. Crime will exist regardless. Are you saying criminals shouldn't be held accountable for their crimes committed? That's not how justice works my friend. Plus there's no guarantee that rehabilitation will be effective. Who says they won't relapse? Otherwise, a complete waste of resources. Doesn't America have a very high recidivism rate? We're pretty awesome at making sure people relapse. Which is what is prison is for. If they get caught again, they'll have a "record" of it and the judge that "determines" his/her sentence will give that person a harsher sentence. Prison's point is to make sure people who leave it wind up back in it? Shouldn't we make better efforts to make sure no one winds up there in the first place, and to assure those that wind up there and eventually get out will not reoffend? Are we truly doing the best we can? Are we only jailing those that deserve it? Are all our prisoners just hopeless pieces of shit? America is simultaneously somehow one of the best countries on Earth and Earth's best Mos Eisley impression? You see the thing about prison in America... Only people that commit some of the "most serious" crimes will end up in prison simply because the people that wind up in prison have the "tendency" to ruin other people's lives (murder, arson, bankruptcy, fraud, racketeering). ^there be no point into trying to "rehabilitate" these kinds of people, because they're fully capable of "manipulating" the system/other people. --- I watch bad anime, you watch bad anime, we all watch bad anime! https://imgur.com/af9P3on https://imgur.com/5Uw5CXJ https://imgur.com/RaZileo <cite>Darkrobotisback posted [p:894139992] in Why is the...
