    I agree that prison reform should focus much more on rehabilitation, but completely eliminating prisons raises serious questions about public safety and accountability.

      I think you meant to reply to someone at the very bottom of the comment section.

      Private prisons should not exist.

      America’s prison system is so thoroughly fucked because of its privatization. When someone makes money based off of prison population, it should be understood that they benefit the most through high incarceration rates, long sentences, and a lack of actual rehabilitation which leads to high recidivism rates. Not to mention their profit margin depends on keeping overhead costs as bare minimum as possible leading to awful living conditions. Plus the use of prisoners as legal slave labor on loan for added profit.

      Counties like the Netherlands, Norway, and Finland have shown how countries can turn a prison system that started like the US’s, with mass incarceration, long sentences, and control through solitary confinement, into a system that focuses on longer investigations, shorter sentences, and reintegration with society leading to low incarceration and recidivism rates.

    I suppose they could flee to Argentina: it’s had a tradition of welcoming fascists since 1945, and the place is run by one of their guys at the moment.

      My cousin married an Italian girl from Argentina. She’s in her 20s so I don’t blame her for nor do I ask where she was in the 1940s (if you aren’t a nazi and your parents are/were, awesome. Way to overcome a tradition of hate. That’s how I feel about my cousin in law. She’s pretty cool) but she gets a lot of shit for it for some reason, living in Miami.

      He was convincted once already. The only reason he’s not in prison now is he later got pardoned.

      I mean, Bannon was convicted of both fraud and criminal contempt of Congress for not compying with the Jan 6 Committeec subpoena.

      He, in fact, did go to prison. Only for the pedo to pardon him later on.
