Makes me vomit too. We've created a systematic punishment machine rather than a reformation and education system. And systematic profiteering machine that's corrupting the objective of the Justice system.
- kefka 11y agoThis way, the system also punishes everyone involved but not directly the defendant/accused. And it does so via the pocketbook.
- zo1 11y agoAnd if you exclude victimless crimes, it also punishes the victims. A bit of a stretch, but you could say so if no active and meaningful attempt is made to rehabilitate incarcerated individuals.
- ams6110 11y agoThe objective of the justice system is not reformation and education (well, maybe on paper that is the objective if you limit scope to the juvenile system). It's "paying your debt to society" for what you did wrong, i.e. punishment.
