    These people are genuinely completely out of touch with reality, aren’t they?

    I don’t think the idea of people who have committed absolute atrocities being “managed in the community” will be a popular one with the voting public.

      That was my thought. There’s plenty of people who don’t deserve prison, but then there’s pedos and the guy who shot up the mosque.

      The only reason those people even go to prison is because we can’t be 101% certain they’re guilty. If we could we’d just execute them. Then this might work.

      A perfect society where we could manage low level criminality through empathy, rehabilitation in the community, and take mass murderers and slowly dissolve them in acid. A beautiful dream.
