I have mixed feeling on this subject. Ideally, i'd say yes they should be abolished. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world.

On one hand, I find the idea of long prison sentences morally repugnant, moreso than execution. Death penalty has its own glaring problems. i'm in favor of letting prisoners facing a life sentence or death choose between them personally, but that's a separate issue. I don't think we should keep non-violent offenders locked up at all.

On the other hand, there's some pretty awful people who are actively a danger to society, and prison is a solution to that problem.

So ultimately I have to say no, but reformation of the prison system should definitely be on the table for discussion.

yeah because people who are constantly frauding/stealing from people and stealing identities arent as bad as some one who kills someone right?

fuck serial fraudsters/thieves belong in prison along with the violent offenders. Non violent crimes are just as bad.

drug dealers selling shit like meth and fentanyl, lock them up in prison too. Selling shit that causes people to od as often as fentanyl should be treated like murder.

people who doing drugs and nothing above? Release them theyre not hurting anyone but themselves.
