Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 months agoOkay that’s a bit more clear. The drug dealers thing was a comparison. Now we need to deal with the idea of the indefinite sentence. There’s a real danger that a regulatory agency could just keep increasing that bar until it’s a defacto life sentence. That’s why we have maximums.
I’d love to live in a country I trusted with that kind of power but I don’t. We constantly advise our justice system and the people trapped in it. So I have no confidence an indefinite sentence would result in a release or good faith treatment while incarcerated to work towards a release.

The current justice system already has issues with corruption. It’s just one more problem that needs to be solved in the overall revamp the system needs with how things are done. Just arbitrarily releasing people after a set amount of time is not how you fix that issue.

It absolutely is. Because that way the corruption can’t just turn everything into a life sentence in a sweat shop.
