> result in just disrupted families No, these families are never formed in the first place, even before people go to jail. Go look up what’s the rate of out of wedlock births these days, especially among demographics most likely to be imprisoned. > without acknowledging the distribution of jailable offenses committed is distributed across all demographics, with a disproportionate reality of which demographics actually get jailed What’s there to acknowledge? The demographics most likely to do crime is most likely to be imprisoned, what’s your point here? > I’m saying another solution is likely relevant, such as how sentencing is done, how rehabilitation is done, how reintegration is done. Last time I saw a criminal justice strategy like that implemented, “defund the police”, it ended up disastrous. What reason I have to believe that your other theories are not just as bad? I look at those places pioneering in these new strategies, like SF and LA, and from what I can tell, these are exactly counterproductive. > Right now we dont rehabilitate people, we throw them in a hell and say “welp dont do crime” (exhibit a) and after their “rehabilitation” then (…) If only there was a way they could avoid having that happen to them. Alas, since the criminals are just victims of circumstance, bereft of any agency, shooting other people on the street is just something that happens to them.
