No one should be in jail.

Yeah, agree.
The time has come for our society to move forward and eliminate jails and prisons.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

We’ve been imprisoning people for centuries, and crime doesn’t stop.

It’s time to do away with prisons. They don’t work.

So that’s like a saying and not actually the definition of insanity. Great-so they can live next door to you? We can put the child molesters all together right near your kids. Thanks for being willing!

I think the threat of prison keeps a lot of people on the straight and narrow. I'd like to punch a number of people in the throat but I don't because I am not suited to prison.

That could be your dignified job!

Agree. We have, as a society, evolved past the need to arrest people or lock them in cages like animals.

Just treat people with dignity and all will be well.

Hmmm. "Gunman shot 12-year-old boy in the head while on $1,000 bail for one of Illinois’ most serious gun crimes"

So what does society do with that fellow?

Provide him with fair housing and a dignified ob, so he doesn’t need to rob children to survive.

Can you provide a list of dignified jobs?

“job”

It's crazy. Daily Mail has coverage of the axe maniac and more events from NYC

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11224475/Axe-wielding-man-31-goes-rampage-NYC-McDonalds-REJECTED-young-woman.html

The attacks and open air drug addicts shooting up are disturbing. It's like watching civilization break down before our eyes. Shocking in what is arguably the financial capital of the world NYC or London I think is #1, Tokyo and Shanghai are in the running. None of the other cities have New York's problems. Closest might be San Francisco, which is worse for drugs and homelessness, but not as violent it seems.

Calm down. I live in NYC, and it’s fine. The Daily Mail is trash, and highlights only the weirdest, most attention-grabbing stories. For every ax-wielding maniac, there are 1 million families hanging out in the park, going to brunch, enjoying their city.

Well, you’re in the minority of New Yorkers because 75% say crime is a “serious problem.” https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-is-nyc-safe-crime-stat-reality/

Most people aren't very good at assessing actual risk. But frankly, that stat doesn't jibe with what I'm seeing--happy, peaceful families loving this late summer weather, dining outdoors, and taking advantage of everything the city has to offer. If you think NYC is a crime-ridden hellhole, stay away! More space for actual New Yorkers.

You obviously didn’t read the article, which has actual crime data. But go on with your anecdotal evidence.

We need jails, period. We can't have murderers and molesters running around loose. Those people need to be locked away permanently--one strike you're out forever. I do agree that for the majority of prisoners who are not murderers and molestors we need something else. Jails/prisons should be required to have schooling, therapy, rehab, anger management etc. Prisoners should leave better able to cope with the world than when they went in. They should be able to find a job of some sort--mechanics, tech, appliance repair, whatever. If we lock them away and then don't provide the tools they need to succeed on the outside, then that's a real problem.We also need to bring back mental hospitals so people with bona fide mental illness aren't in prison which isn't where they belong, and they're not living on the streets terrorizing people walking by etc.

Men are just cancelled. Who has time to pretend like they are ok anymore?

“They don’t work” meaning what? They don’t rehabilitate people? They don’t keep the crime rates down?

DP. Polling is of limited value in this context because people aren’t disinterested in what happens with the polling data. If you are not actually worried about current crime levels but are concerned that someone might use the polling data to advocate for reduced enforcement, patrolling, etc., you may have an incentive to respond that you think crime is a problem to make sure things stay the way they are.
