Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 months agoNeither is letting out convicted rapists and murderers on the off chance some of them are innocent. The fix to that problem is not to release people early, it’s to reform the investigation and trial process so that wrongful convictions don’t happen in the first place.

Who said anything about letting people out early? You just decided I was talking about early release, but I never said that.
The answer is, as always, spending some money on actual rehabilitation and letting them go at the end of that, or their sentence.

If they have a defined sentence instead of “until you are rehabilitated” then you are letting them out early.

In some kinds of Justice “until rehabilitated” is the sentence. And other systems part of rehabilitation is accepting the rest of your sentence with equanimity. You are dead set on the idea of releasing some slavering barbarian early that you’re missing the entire point of the conversation.

If that was true in ALL kinds I would be fine with it. It’s not. I’ve personally known people released from prison who were no better than when they went in.
