Maybe we should start moving away from prison as a whole and find more effective methods of behavior modification and crime deterrence.
Like universal healthcare and addiction treatment? Publicly funded suboxone/methadone? Wraparound services including housing and job training for those who end up in criminal court because of poverty and/or mental health-substance abuse problems?
I'm all for it. Wasn't so sure you'd be.
This gets me, too. People will claim that improvements are needed, but won't pay for them. How much money do the well-off need before they will contribute to society? The age-old question.
