Prisons are barbaric and obsolete
by JWIlls23 » Sat Jun 07, 2014 12:10 am
I am going to be called a utopian liberal for this but that is what I think. Putting aggressive people together and dehumanizing them is not going to make them upstanding citizens when they get out. The dehumanization is only going to make them worse. Our society is focused more on "punishment" than rehabilitation.

So.... what do you do with people who can't safely be a part of society?

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

Yeah, for most criminal offenses, prison is very inappropriate. Basically it needs to be reserved for those who engage in violence, while we devise better methods for everyone else.

It would really be nice to have a conversation someday about the aspects of society that facilitate violent reactions in unstable people, instead of how to containerize them after they've done a sufficiently intolerable act
