This has the public opinion problem that once you think about it that way, many things become life sentences on the basis that reform is scarcely possible.
Personally I think that people should be in jail for as long as they remain dangerous, but many people are not comfortable with that logic.
- nowarninglabel 10y agoThere's actually a fantastic anime based on that premise, "Psycho-Pass". Shows the pros/cons of that approach.
- bsder 10y agoI think you missed the point of "Psycho-Pass", at least the first season. The point of "Pscho-Pass" is "What is justice?" Who decides? What is the standard? Why is it the standard? Should it be the standard?
- angry_octet 10y agoIt's often a catch-22 situation: as long as they remain in jail they will remain dangerous, due to the nature of prison. The problem of re-integrating felons with society is difficult and often ignored. It can be impossible to get work for many of these people, leading almost inevitably back to criminality (primarily narcotics, thence prostitution and petty theft).
