I guess I'm not in the majority these days but I believe that no cost is too high to prevent an innocent person being subject to imprisonment.
Also if the cost is too high then our society/laws are broken and that is what needs fixing - not by just working out cheaper ways to lock people up.
- forapurpose 9y agoI agree, but are you willing to pay higher taxes to fund that?
- gjjrfcbugxbhf 9y agoYes - but I'd rather remove the prohibition on a whole swath of currently criminalised activities.
- emodendroket 9y agoThis reminds a little bit of when people tell me we have to have undocumented workers getting paid below-minimum wage with, in practical terms, little protection from abuse because otherwise fruit or hotels would be more expensive. It seems so plainly morally bankrupt that I'm surprised how often I hear it.

Watch recidivism drop.
