> gatekeeping becomes unnecessary
This is pure fantasy. Society will always need prisons. Sure, there is much that society can and ought to do in order to reduce what may be judged as tragic or unnecessary incarcerations, but the incarceration rate will never be literally zero. Having prisons doesn't make society a "dictatorship".
- bigthymer 4y ago> Society will always need prisons Not every society has needed prisons, especially smaller, tribal ones. Maybe our complex, global one currently does but I don't think it is a hard requirement.
- crazygringo 4y agoSmaller tribal societies exiled you and you died. Or they just killed you. Prisons are an improvement over that.
- teddyh 4y agoWe were discussing banning people from social utilities, not setting prisoners free.
