With all the bleeding-hearts on Lemmy who think we should be coddling criminals, I'm not shocked he was released after serving just 1/4 of his sentence. Clearly he was rehabilitated!1!!! Oh wait. No he wasn't.
It's almost like the US prison system isn't meant to rehabilitate and instead is meant to control the lower class and imprison the 'right' people.
The idea that imprisonment is for rehabilitation is fucking stupid and new.
Prison may rehabilitate some people, and those people should have the means to seek that rehabilitation if they want to.
The main goal of prisons is to protect society from criminals by removing them and deterring others from committing crimes through fear of punishment.
I swear, some people just say dumb shit to see if it catches on. Unfortunately, 'prisons are for rehab' is just as stupid as calling people latinx.
I think it'd be hilarious if some right-wing troll just floated the idea to see how many fools would pick up on it.
"The United States suffers from among the highest crime and recidivism rates in the world. This is in part due to its focus on retribution as the purpose of punishment and its high sentencing structure. Norway, on the other hand, has some of the lowest crime and recidivism rates and boasts Halden prison, which has been hailed as the world’s most humane prison. In Halden and other prisons, the Norwegian penal system applies the principle of normality. Under the principle of normality, Norway seeks the reintegration of its offenders into society. Its prisoners suffer fewer of the negative, unintended side effects of prison that isolate the prisoner from society, reinforce bad habits, and make reintegration upon release nearly impossible. This Comment proposes that the United States could reduce its high crime and recidivism rates with a penological approach that bridges that of the two countries—a rehabilitative retributivism. The United States can keep its focus on retribution while at the same time making sure that its punishment does not swell to include those negative side effects. By reducing its sentencing structures and incorporating the principle of normality into its retributive goal, the United States could better ensure that prisoners return to society as productive members, and it could experience lower crime and recidivism rates as a result."
