Whoa, that last sentence. 😬
The truth that nobody wants to hear.
I think most people are aware that imprisoning people is not about reforming them. In the US at least.
Mad respect for owning it. Guy could still be a terrible person.I don't know , but at least he accepted the consequences.
How do you know it's a man? Their name is Dizzie.
I feel for these people. There are a lot of people who have already learned from their mistakes but will go to jail or prison anyway as punishment.
Obviously i am having to take them at their word here but even probation, monitoring, and community service could be an alternative solution.I believe in rehabilitation and reintegration, not vengeance.
Also i applaud the honesty.
very violent person
hurt many people
B-b-but they learned their lesson!!!
Actions have consequences and when you take violent action and hurt others society needs more than just rehab. Violent tendencies generally goes hand in hand with difficulty controlling them. Can you prove this person is already rehab’d and won’t hurt anyone anymore? If they aren’t, how will you ensure they don’t hurt anyone while they are on the way to rehabilitating these dangerous behaviors?
It’s almost like locking people up has purpose when it comes to violent criminals.
How will prison help to make them less violent? And when they're released in 3 years, how will you ensure they don't hurt anyone anymore? We're not saying "don't do anything about criminals", but the current prison system is very explicitly about punishment (and, in the US, about slavery), not rehabilitation. What's needed, more often than not, are psychologists, monitoring and a way to keep them away from their victims. That does not require putting people in cages.
What if they were able to work on it from lockup? I know it won’t happen, but the system is gonna make them do work anyway, so why not this?
Allowing the dev to continue work from prison would benefit the dev and help them live a better life after finishing their sentence, rather than making money for the prison industrial complex at the dev's expense.
Because the system isn’t about keeping prisoners occupied or satisfied, it’s a punishment. Forcing someone to continue working in their passion project is t a punishment.
It’s not like all work is the same so therefore there’s no difference. Putting that aside, if the system worked and truly focused on rehabilitation, how is putting them back to work doing what they already were doing going to help them rehabilitate their violent tendencies?
They admit they were very violent and hurt many people. Something needs to be done, why would they something be the thing they’re already doing for fun/money?
A system based on rehabilitation would probably not prohibit work on passion projects. Rehabilitation isn't just about stopping the bad thinga, it's equally as much about encouraging the good things - which would probably be work on a passion project or a job they enjoy doing to smoothen their transition back into society.
Yo that game looks fun
