This is not a question of about parroted nonsense and cultural norms. I mean what end product do they produce that justifies their existence in the first place.
I’m physically disabled and have been living in a prison like situation for nearly 11 years. How does my situation balance into the ethics of prisons? I’m on a path to homelessness and a premature death due to institutionalized neglect and abuse from US institutions. Criminals are housed and fed in exchange for similar isolation, abuse, danger, insurmountable debt, and a largely unemployable and destitute future. These seem to conflict in ethics.
We’ve decided morally, that killing is wrong. So if killing is wrong, but we have to keep killers out of society, then we’ve got to put them in a place away from society. Somewhere along the way, we decided that killing isn’t the only thing that requires you be separated from society.
You haven’t committed a crime, therefore are free to succeed or fail at life all on your own. Society hasn’t judged you, therefore society hasn’t seen the need to take care of you either.
So you have incentivised crime against society for survival.
With a few exceptions of life sentences, this is not how it works. We have prisons to separate the bad apples for a while, and we use that time to rehabilitate the apples. Its not a perfect solution bit it works better than without prison
Pretending that people get rehabilitated in prison, LOLOL
That’s some LARP level imagination you got there.
Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, around 20% within five years of release.
They probably got the lowest crime rates in the world. American criminals hit different
This clearly says US Institutions.
This person wouldn’t be posting here if they were from Norway.
My reply was about what prisons are. I was not replying to OP
Congratulations, you’re not on topic then.
