Congratulations! You have now improved the recidivism rate to 100%. Because seriously, what's an ex-convict going to do after leaving prison in that system? No

Congratulations! You have now improved the recidivism rate to 100%. Because seriously, what's an ex-convict going to do after leaving prison in that system? No UBI and no prospect of a job (look at employment rates for ex-cons today, do you think that's going to get better?) will very quickly lead people back to crime by necessity.

> Think of it like a probation (maybe reduced for a period of time as it relates to the severity of the crime). Do people read the comments they respond to? I am spitballing here. It's not like we have firm numbers to critique. It seems reasonable to me that there be some punishment for bad behavior. Things like that already exist now. Or how about this: You don't deny basic income you just.. make them repay society by docking their basic income a %.
