the thing is, to spearhead prison reform, you need someone who was once a prisoner, and the intersection of that with "compassionate, honest, empathetic" characteristics would not appear to be very large

- walls 2y ago> the intersection of that with "compassionate, honest, empathetic" characteristics would not appear to be very large It's also not to be found here. You're applying character traits to a person just because of their gender.
- dustingetz 2y agoI'm doing what now? The point is there's a high correlation between being a prisoner and being a psychopath, so you do not necessarily get to have super high honesty and compassion or whatever in the list of traits of a person who will reform prison. What you do get to do, is look at the set of actual people who have experienced prison (and therefore are most motivated and qualified to fix it), and sort by entrepreneurial skill. Hers is not zero.
- mrguyorama 2y ago>The point is there's a high correlation between being a prisoner and being a psychopath, America imprisons vastly more than any other liberal nation. We have no shortage of people who spent a decade in prison despite not committing the crime and eventually getting out. Why Holmes over people who didn't deserve prison?
- dustingetz 2y agoHow come none of those people did it yet?
