I oppose prisons as well. I would be open to other alternatives. The prison system doesn't work at all.
I am not sure either you or TNF understand what the prison system is used for. Or how TNF's nonsense would solve anything.
Gustaf, seriously, the prison system is a mess. No one can deny that. I see the law as someone that protects people, that's right. But I definitely believe every person should have the right to redeem itself. And prisons provide that. After leaving prison, people are destroyed mentally, that shouldn't be the goal of the sentence.
Seriously, I guess some alternatives are possible. (Although to be fair I'm not a specialist) that could definitely improve the system, that could definitely "cure" mental problems, that would not destroy people's life,...
Seriously, prison sucks extremely. And I consider life imprisonment without parole being much more horrible for the individual than death penalty. And I of course strongly oppose both death penalty and life imprisonment.
