“if you don’t wanna do forced labor, just don’t commit crime”.
a poor education and ignorance (willful or other) are a key factor to why they have that sentiment.
an educated and informed person would realize that “punishment” does not benefit society. they would see how other countries approach the topic and realize that treatment and support are what criminals need ( not all of them obviously ). an informed populace would also look internally and realize prison-enforced slavery incentivizes increased incarceration of petty crimes, which only pushes people into more crime, not to mention private prisons and the 13th amendment make for an evil combination.
to quote SOAD:
All research and successful drug policy show that treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
Yea I can only educate so much at someone’s doorstep before they ignore me. I’m all ears about what you think the best tactic is.
Edit: but I don’t promise to listen, apparently this forum is infected with hateful bots that want to see my community become more divided and destroyed.
