Our current prison system was designed to pipeline former slaves into prison so they could stay a source of free labor.
As long as America has this weird fetishization with punishment (mostly on brown ppl) our prison system will keep doing its thing
Can we discuss the purpose of punishment here, and the ethics that justify it?
I first want to establish that as an evolutionary biologist I think the desire to punish has evolved both genetically and socially. I’m more talking about slotting it into an ethical and scientific framework.
So, why do you think that you want this (or any) person punished?
