It has effects on society, as well; we don't consider felons as having served their time, because the majority go out and reoffend, proiving they didn't really get "fixed" by prison.

Because of they dont, forcing them to by law will only make things worse

I mean, the CJ system is a shitshow top to bottom and I have no idea how to actually completely or even significantly fix it

"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason of righteousness, temperance, and of a judgment to come in their presence." ~ Frederick Douglass

You guys are going at this all wrong

You'd be surprised that I've seen a solution better than prison.

Murder

Right?

Am I right

Awe

This isn't just some.. feel good story.

I'm not right

His logic checks out.

Listen to what the judge says about why he does it.

I can't, I'm @ work

TLDR it

He gives out custom punishments.

And almost none of them involve prison.

It's been awhile since I've seen the clip.

🤔

"30 days of jail, or walk 30 miles"

Another guy chooses the sentence of dressing up like a chicken and embarrass himself on the street, after being caught trying to buy a prostitute.

Honestly, this shit makes a lot more sense than CAGES.

I mean, shame is one HELL of a motivator.

yes

Well they make sense for each crime.

What's his reoffense rate tho

They reflect the crime in some way.

I remember it being low, but not how low.

@Scribblehatch Humiliation would straighten you up better than a cage.

That's all that matters IMHO, if you can avoid killing the offender and reducing reoffense, you're doing well.

I've listened to the video

But I would have to see the stats

And I think that's fair

I would want to see how this judge sees cases like murder or sexual assault or anything violent

BUT this is not me saying that I dont think what he is doing is great

People who commit the crimes shown in the video I agree should be given a better chance rather than going to prison

Yeah, jail should be reserved for dangerous offenders such as rapists or murderers because in those cases they can remain a danger to the public if left alone. When it comes to crimes like buying a prostitute, I agree with this judge and his style

I think that the type of murder is necessary to consider
