    These all or nothing arguments are for stupid people to embrace. I don’t want to get rid of prisons. I want to get rid of for profit prisons. I want to get rid of long prison sentences for drug use that doesn’t involve violence. I want longer terms for any theft. Perhaps life terms for organized theft like those trash humans who raid a store. I want anyone convicted of multiple felonies to rot there for the rest of their life. I want anyone of rapes or murders to do the same. What I want is a prison system that tries educate and redeem short time inmates and give the bare minimum to trash like trump.

      So much this, the goal should be rehabilitation into society. I acknowledge that some crimes are too egregious, and it’s reasonable that if someone behaves in an egregiously sociopathic or psychopathic way, then they should rot in prison away from the rest of society.

      I find that a lot of the extreme ideologies are often there to take away person power from achievable and practical goals.
