Isn't there a bit of irony there? In that you want to send the send-people-to-prison-to-suffer people to prison to suffer?

- coldtea 9y agoLet's call it poetic justice, or taste of their own medicine.
- refurb 9y agoYou sound just like the people you condemn.
- coldtea 9y agoAnd yet only one side (between me and the people I condemn) actually controls what the law is like and helps inflict pain and harsh conditions upon millions of people serving time. So what I "sound like" is quite irrelevant. Except if you believe that people who cherish revenge and punishment of inmates will one day replace the people population based on my wish.
- anigbrowl 9y agoWell, as long as they're promoting the idea they may as well get a taste of their own medicine. It's not like they don't have access to alternative arguments based on empathy or moral principles or empirical data showing that their highly punitive approach works poorly.
- michaelmrose 9y agoIts totally in keeping with the revenge is more important than results mindset.
