I'm highly certain that no

@miria
Sometimes.
Deterrence isn't even the primary purpose of prison.

@FallenFadedLostItAll@freak.university
While privately owned prisons are bullshit that shouldn't exist, they make up only a few percent of prisons.
Yes, watch the video, it did.
@miria

@miria
There definitely are issues with the laws and the justice system. Like teens ending up on the sexual offender registry for sending a dick pic.
I mainly have in mind things like murder, theft etc when talking about police and prisons.

@tsumi
Lmao. Don't overdose with that copium and stop this utopian thinking.
Also watch the video, crime is going down.

@tsumi
It's been consistently going down in for the last 30 years, that's plenty of time for the criminals to have kids and the kids to reach an age at which they are the mostlikely to commit crimes

@SNEK
With the amount of feminists screaming rape, it's a valid argument
@ArdanianRight @tsumi

@tsumi
Definitely but not everyone cares about morals or the benefit given by them seems comparatively small compared to gain.
>"prefer distance to peers with violent tendencies"
It's almost like that's the reason why prisons exist.

@ArdanianRight @tsumi I'm fully against that, because you see too many wrong convictions and capital and corporal punishment are irreversible.

@tsumi Crime rate is going down, which you would know if you watched the video.

@mrsaturday @FallenFadedLostItAll@freak.university @miria I wonder why pedophiles don't like prisons? :thonk:

@tsumi
That's indeed mostly true. However how do you positively stop someone from killing their rival in love?

@tsumi
I do not know where this idea comes from but the primary purpose of prison has always been incapacitation, then a deterrent and the small amount of rehabilitation that might happen was just a bonus.

@tsumi because it never was and he addresses your point about other countries at the end.

@FallenFadedLostItAll@freak.university @miria You would be incinerating most of the prison population.
The US has already tried what you are saying numerous times and it didn't work. You are comparing the prison system against an unobtainable ideal.
