Well, you are probably ok with mass incarceration, other countries don't oppose it. You find a way to justify imprisonment for non-violent crimes, consent to this is manufactured through media that you are exposed to. So you feel like it's acceptable in society. I'm not exposed to that media, I feel as equally awful about mass incarceration as about reeducation camps.

Do you think people shouldn't go to prison for serious financial, non-violent crimes? And it's quite rude to project such a belief on someone. OP made no statement about their feelings toward mass incarceration, and claiming they are OK with it just because of the country they are in is like saying the Chinese are OK with what's happening in their own country.

  Yes, I think it's not ok to imprison people for financial crimes.

    Then I have no incentive not to steal everything you own while you're out to town. Or your car while you're sleeping. Financial crimes always boil down to some kind of theft.

  I think we can find better solution for them, like forbid them to use any bank account themselves by placing them under tutorship, it would probably cost much less to the society

    Do I still go to jail for stealing your car?
    - rihegher 7y ago
      I would say it depend of the way the car was stolen, if with violence I’d say maybe, if not I think it is worth looking for an alternative to prison

        What if I keep stealing your car, non-violently?

  When people talk about non-violent crimes, they are almost always talking about drug crimes. But specifically about your question, serious financial crimes are violent. Violence on this case is done by proxy, but abusing the State's position of power to help you on a crime shouldn't clean your hands of the violence.
