People who've been to prison are much more likely to be grounded in visceral reality and weigh things properly compared to much of our increasingly sheltered society, especially along the coasts.
- lopmotr 7y agoIsn't a failure to judge something correctly the reason they went to prison in the first place? Are you saying they're so well reformed that their judgement now exceeds that of normal people? In that case, there must be other jobs their superior ability to weigh things can be useful.

- lawn 7y agoYour comment beautifully reinforces the point you try to refute. "Normal" people are naive and clueless about the reality of the world.
