see, I don't agree with prisons.

I think if you're going to have a society run on vice and kept in line with fear of punishment, and anything else seems to be derided as hippie shit because I'm living in orc world, the punishments should be scary.

prison is horrible, it makes you worse to suffer, it fucks up the people who run it too, and its very easy to make not-scary. you're still throwing a persons life away just like if you're killing them, but you're putting in this huge resource investment to feel morally superior and making both of you worse people in the process. its vile.

plus, I'd rather just have them out of the world and not released upon the next fascist regime. every time that happens it diminishes the effectiveness of the terror of prison. how many times has that happened in high profile cases just related to the current american regime?
