Unpopular opinion:
Maybe we should focus on actually rehabilitating people. (And not jailing people for things that cause no harm) When you’re no longer going to commit crimes or harm others, when you’re rehabilitated, you’re out. If you can’t be rehabilitated then it’s a life sentence.
Because honestly, what is the purpose of putting someone back out amongst the populace who is just going to steal, murder, rape, maim our otherwise harm others again? There isn’t one.
The length of the sentence needs to be “until you’ll never do this or anything like this ever again and you’ll be a productive member of society in some way” and if you refuse to change, or aren’t capable of change, then honestly you’re too dangerous to be let out.
i think what people who have grown up in a carceral system like the US fail to understand is that a ten-year prison sentence is a HARSH sentence. it’s a life destroying sentence. seriously, think about the past decade of your life. think about all the relationships you’ve forged, all the places you’ve lived, all the jobs you’ve had or degrees you’ve earned, all the births and weddings and funerals and growth. now imagine instead you spent that decade in a cage. replace all those experiences with the trauma of what people experience in prison.
ten years is time enough to miss your kid’s whole childhood, to whittle away at every relationship and connection you have outside prison. i think we’re so used to seeing 25-to-life sentences being handed down for even non violent crimes that we don’t really think of the actual sentencing process this way. anything less than a LIFE sentence means someone “got off too easily.” and i wonder what would change with our system if we changed how we viewed that.
