    How do you know the corrections facility worked? I feel like it would be easy to say the exact things you are supposed to say.

      If a person does their time, they should be done with punishment. Whether or not the punishment fits the crime is another thing entirely.

            Based on it being nearly impossible to change these sorts of things. If you want to have sex with a 12 year old, you cant just make that go away (without pills).

              I think the point of corrections is to make them never do it again, regardless of their desire. I mean, I want to save the world from billionaires. And if I did it once and was “corrected,” that wouldn’t remove the desire, it would just prevent me from doing it again.

              Neither of us know the corrective actions, the terms of release, or even the details of the crime. It’s not really fair to continue to punish them because some people want to do it.

              That said, I sure wouldn’t trust him around kids, and I think that scenario should be covered in the terms of release.

                I stopped at “save the world from billionaires.” Dude, you seem reasonable, but just stop listening to all the dumb people, they lie to you.

                    This is a huge issue, but the billionaire thing is just a class warfare too to keep people fighting and not looking at the government that causes all the issues. Then that would lead to how we are a kind of corporate oligarch government, but this is a long conversation that just starts with you getting your news from somewhere else.

      Why have a correction facility at all if you have no belief that it works? Corrections facility should focus on social reconditioning not punishment.

        That would be good if it worked. We probably agree but I think it should just make them into people with a purpose and have a life worth living. I dont think we can change how they feel, but we can do like the military does and give them purpose and direction.
