There's definitely reasons to imprison murderers: (1) to prevent them from murdering again, (2) to rehabilitate them so they do not murder again, (3) to give feelings of closure/justice to those that cared for the victim.
I think ThrustVectoring said it best in a post above yours: we're requiring creators to subsidize the disabled.
An alternative way to subsidize the disabled might be to give them some amount of money every year which they can use to buy transcription, parking, etc. services. This might result in only certain content being transcribed. This might result in less parking spaces that are continuously empty. Maybe that would be a better use of everyone's time. Maybe it would create unnecessary decision burden on disabled people.
- pmoriarty 10y agoThe notion that prison rehabilitates has been widely discredited. Most of the time prison hardens criminals and makes them worse, with high recidivism rates being the rule rather than the exception. Also, if your goal was to prevent murderers from murdering again, why would you ever let them out? To generalize this to other crimes: why would you let any criminal out if your goal was to prevent them from committing more crimes?
- fiter 10y agoKeep in mind I said prison, not "US prison system in 2017". http://www.businessinsider.com/why-norways-prison-system-is-so-successful-2014-12 http://www.businessinsider.com/why-norways-prison-system-is-... You would let murderers out because you think there is some compromise between their freedom and the crime they committed. What is your suggestion?
