This comment has bothered me the past few days so I'm returning to it.
More than thorny and interesting problems with indexing modes and building blocks. Which is frankly sad. I don't know how many kilometers of neurons I've lost to these discussions. Trust me, it's not just your comment.
I understand if you feel the purpose of inceration isn't rehabilitation. Maybe some classes of prisoners should stay in prison forever, due to their threat to others.
I just know that it's tough to resist pressure when you are in a helpless and powerless situation, like I suppose prison might be.
I don't think you should also have to resist pressure for phone scams. There are multiple scams that can be run, and cooperating with wardens can hurt those who were too weak to resist say, giving up two minutes of their authenticated and tracked phone time to an inmate who just needs two minutes with their "daughter." Is the inmate who shared time at fault? Technically yes, but why does the scam succeed? Would cooperating with a warden possibly destroy a person's life in that case who may not be a pedophile? Most wardens are probably good people, and cooperation is of course probably legally required. I wouldn't want to advocate breaking the law. You just hope there is slack once the paperwork train starts rolling.
Making us stronger is a philosophy on its own.
In the same sense, this post is a larger win for government authentication methods. And I didn't want to be a part of it, regardless of the benefit to the incarcerated.
I hope I don't have to be dragged into it in the future. To some people, these discussions may be interesting philosophical debates about justice, rehabilitation and control models that are just as interesting to them. They may have built their life around them. That's awesome, but it's tiring on the other side.
