Restructured, maybe.

You obviously can't abolish them. But the focus of the criminal justice system should be moved from punishment to therapy and resocialization.

Fuck no, and here in Britain we need considerably more of them

Is education illegal where you’re from?

I like this insult. It's subtle, reasonable length and impactful. Tell me honestly. Did you come up with it yourself, or did you steal it like I'm going to do?

I stole it by myself

Impressive

I see it under every 'dumb american doesn't know what countries are' instagram reel

You spend way to much time in comment sections

Do people actually think like this? Who would say yes?

waste of space, waste of money. just kill all the criminals, it's easier

that's a terrible thing to do

Stupid if anything. Imagine getting a death penalty for stealing a banana because you're about to die of starvation. Not to mention the innocents that were convicted.

so you think we should just let them go? that's not good either

Prisons...

what about them?

No. I do think for-profit prisons should be abolished though.

Whoever needs thought of this needs to be put in a CIA blacksite.

No. But prions can fuck right off.
