Cool so should the default solution for every fucking problem be the same solution we apply to a guy that cracked someone's skull open with a hammer?

I'm not saying this guy doesn't deserve to be punished. I'm saying prison shouldn't be the default solution for everything. People like you who defend the prison industrial complex are the reason it still exists. You are using your emotional reaction to one incident to justify a human rights crisis in your fucking backyard and it's lazy and pathetic. Be a better person.

Default setting should be prison? For marijuana possession?

For fucking getting an abortion???

Prison should not be the default setting for anything my dude.

correct but we use the "attempted murder solution" on everything, which is the problem.

stop saying "prison should exist because of this one case"

there will always be extreme cases that need to be handled differently from the default setting. but the default setting should not be prison, it should be rehabilitation.

I don't need to offer an alternative.

It is enough to say "the current system doesn't work for me and I want change."

Prison is our fucking answer to everything. No house? Prison. Said something bad? Prison. Had a bad month and hit somebody? Prison. Prison. Prison.

We lean on it as a convenient one-stop solution when we could instead do work to rehabilitate people, fix the problem, or prevent the problem from happening. The reason our prisons are overflowing is because no one is stepping up and saying, "maybe prison shouldn't be our answer to every single societal problem."
