Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

Idgaf what the “justice” system says. I’m giving my opinion of how it should be. I know of child molesters in my home town who were out in 6 years and continued to be pieces of shit. The kids they raped sure as fuck weren’t over the damage they did in that time. A guy raped a member of my family and didn’t get any time at all. Rehabilitation does not work on rapists. The fact that there is a maximum sentence just goes to show that they don’t get out when they’re rehabilitated. They get out when their time is up.

The current system doesn’t even attempt to rehabilitate people. That’s the big problem. The current system just doesn’t work.

  Correct. So it’s better to throw away the key than let monsters back on the streets.

    I didn’t say don’t fix it. I said don’t let them back out when nothing was done to rehabilitate them.

    It doesn’t matter if people can change, it’s not up to a victim to suffer the presence of their abuser to satisfy an abuser’s interests. Ever.
    
    Your garbage ass rhetoric is the exact same chief enablers use to justify choosing their abusers over the rest of their families, and they destroy their households as a result.
    
    This is why we clearly need to cut people like you out of society as well. You don’t belong here either.

    And the shocking percentage of innocent people who are forced into bad plea deals or railroaded by the system? Do we throw away the key for them too?

    Those people are why I didn’t say we should execute them. They can still prove their innocence and get out.

There’s a maximum sentence for drug dealers too. It’s it impossible to realize the harm that brought to the community?

  No? That’s why they’re in prison. I don’t think maximum sentences work. You should be in prison until you’re fixed and ready to not be a criminal when to you get out. I’d hardly compare a drug dealer to a rapist though. A drug dealer can be driven into it by a poor financial situation and the people using drugs are doing so by choice. Rapists don’t have any external factors that drive them to it.

    I’m sorry but your logic clearly doesn’t track here. If maximum sentences are proof that there is no rehabilitation then why wouldn’t that be true of drug dealers too?

    I never said it was. You’re the one who brought up drug dealers anyway. I said maximum sentences aren’t a good way to do sentencing. The sentence should be “until you are rehabilitated”, regardless of your crime.
