Rehabilitation with Corrections is very important.

Maybe rehabilitate neighborhoods then before they end up in jail. The people who don't commit crimes have to sit and be the victims of crimes in these areas only to watch their prison conditions get better while they still live surrounded by filth of a vicious cycle.

We can do both at the same time, they aren't mutually exclusive.

That like saying we shouldn't feed any kids because we can't feed ALL the kids.

This is amazing!! I mean even treating inmates as human would be amazing, most prisons don't manage even that.

You missed the part about how they are locked away from society. What do you expect. Do you think whipping them every day would make them better people?

How about releasing all the people in jail for drug possession and abolishing the 3 strike laws? 😒

The land where that prison is more than 400 acres of prime San Francisco Bayfront property. The bare land it likely worth well over a Billion dollars, even in today's down real estate market. I bet they could get someone to build an entirely new facility and still make a Billion on the sale :)

Dunno what the repeat offender (?) rate is over there but in scandinavia its about 30%. Not sure it that is good or bad tho.

Let's take the place of our most heinous acts of cruelty against our own people and make it a rehab facility so people don't think about what we allowed to happen here for 100 or so years.

I'm confused. So as part of "making things right", you want the hellhole prison to... Stay a hellhole prison?

They want it to stay a hellhole, just louder I guess.

Are they denying anything that happened in the past?

Or are they, rightly, changing their methods and facilities in order to try a less abusive, more successful form of rehabilitation?
