On the one hand, I like this, but on the other hand it’s bad if judges are handing out other people’s every day life as a punishment

This is meant to be rehabilitation by teaching her empathy. Jail won’t change her but this might.

Ultimately jail is meant to be rehabilitation, I see how the punishment fits much better.

But then I'm bias cuz I'm not a fan of the criminal justice system and prison industrial complex in general.

Jail is punishment only. They are cages to make people disappear while middle class white people pray to NIMBY Jesus.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's the dark reality. I love NIMBY Jesus, thank you I'm adding it to my vocabulary

His full name is actually “supply-side NIMBY capitalist Jesus”, just so you know

Jails in the US are for punishment at best and torture at worst.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Jails in the US are for profit.

Agree and they're a cakewalk compared to Singapore.

Not suggesting this is ok, but that Singapore sucks lol
