Nice

prisons are a luxury of a society that has the resources to house and feed people for years

much cheaper to just cut off a hand

Fair enough. I think exile is a decent alternative.

That works

You can be free... but not with us.

Send them innawoods.

but then you're leaving the chance of revenge or just letting someone else deal with the problem

Well borders should be defended.

:-p

And you can combo exile with say removing a hand.

So it's my duty to take care of your retarded child?

i think the humane treatment crowd wouldn't approve of that lol

So if they do try to take revenge they have a harder time.

@Fitzydog yep, and me while you're at it lol

uggh

Then get the humane treatment crowd to pay for their prison stay.

At this rate, I might as well stop working, and mooch off other people as well

hey, works for the rich

We were discussing alternatives for societies unable to support prison for all.

The USA could save a lot of money on prisons if they didn't have super long sentences for minor offenses

And if they focused on rehabilitation to prevent repeat offenses.

Also we'd get more tax money from productive citizens.

or just.. having less brown people

And if there weren't so many barriers in society for people with criminal records

Eh, white people commit crime too.

or just deport nigs back to africa

@Grodd despite making up 13% of the population....

@Grodd

Oh they certainly make a disproportionately large amount of the population, but whites do it too buddy.

now that's funny

Yep.

When it comes to mass incarceration, the war on drugs is the problem, not black people

Black people are a separate problem, agreed.

If the war on drugs stopped their proportional representation in the prison population would probably raise a ton.

you could take a slightly more cynical view and say that the need for the war on drugs would be obviated by deporting all the blacks back to africa

Hot take.

(which is not to say that other peoples don't use or take drugs, but accepting the progressive stance that the war on drugs is an excuse to imprison minorities)

But you're not wrong. Doing that would allow us to stop the war on drugs and prisons would fucking empty out.

or you know
