50 Times Humans And Animals Refused To Bow To The Fury Of Nature (New Pics)

1) The majority are not there on "b******t d**g charges" 43% of inmates are there for d**g related crimes. That doesn't mean they're all there for trumped up possession charges....that can mean, distribution, manufacture....or simply that d***s were the only charge they could get to stick. The sollution to people being incarcerated over b******t possession charges, is to change the law and give up the "war on d***s" not to make things better for everyone else...the actual majority of inmates, are there for VIOLENT CRIMES. 53.9% of them in fact. They do things differently in Sweden? Well good for them, Sweden is a different place, with different problems....and Sweden is also seeing a massive increase in violent crime and gang warfare over the past several years (capital of Sweden now has gun violence 30x higher than London) Sweden also has actual social programs, and offers help to inmates upon release....and that's the f*****g point. Since i really don't see the U.S instituting those.

Jack wasn't talking about *everyone* incarcerated though, just *those guys* in particular.

kinds of programs anytime soon...it sure seems like a better method of preventing recidivism is to actually facilitate inmates having some kind of nest egg upon release. Ya know, so they aren't forced to go running back to the same friends, or family that helped create the circumstances for them to end up in prison in the first place. You don't get to compare two places, and ignore the majority of circumstances present in one, to advocate for the same treatment in the other. The MAJORITY of people are in prison because they f****d up, in some serious and terrible way...silly me for thinking it's a little more important to give them the best chance for success once they've actually paid their debt, instead of making them slightly more comfortable while they're in there, and even more f*****g likely to end up back in there.

iseefractals is only emphasizing one of the goals of incarceration, the punishment portion, and seems to be advocating for punishing beyond taking away the offenders' freedom, which, as Did I say that out loud points out, is supposed to be the punishment. Additional punishment beyond taking away freedom is not part of the debt they must pay, and doesn't result in better outcomes for society. It doesn't lower recidivism and may increase it. https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty/keith.chen/papers/Final_ALER07.pdf. Fractals is ignoring the rehabilitation aspect for some reason and that can give the impression they simply like the idea of punishment.

Sigh....No....that's what the perpetually outraged assumed because i didn't blindly nod along with the popular, virtue signaling ideal of the day. It's like arguing that when a kid is sent to his room as punishment, they should be allowed to have ice cream and watch tv. When someone is released from prison, they have nothing. You get that right? They have no real job prospects, no place to live, and no money to facilitate any of those things. What does that leave them with? Well they go running back to the same family or friends that quite likely helped facilitate their path to prison. How do you think that's going to play out? Oh wait...we don't have to guess....because i already stated the factual, real world stats, didn't i? See...i'm more interested in preventing that eventuality, than i am with the person in prison, being able to buy themselves little treats. I said cut them a check when they are released....so they have a better chance of not repeating the same mistakes.

No, man, I'm just going by what the research says is best for society as a whole. I just want to do that. You have your idea of what is best based on the top google result for "what is the rate of recidivism in the US." I prefer following what those who who study the issue and have done more in-depth research have to recommend. No outrage, no ego, no virtue signaling.
