>So is prison meant to reform or punish?
As downtown SF is currently demonstrating, prison is also designed to separate. If you let violent criminals and the mentally ill sleep on the street and steal at will, it makes life much worse for everyone else than it makes life better for them.
- stemlord 4y agoDo the mentally ill belong in prison?
- opportune 4y agoMental illness isn't a valid excuse for antisocial behavior. Free treatment should be made available, and if it isn't used or not enough on its own, they should be put in "inpatient mental healthcare"
