      I’m going to upvote you, because I like your anger. But that would probably be a terrible idea to allow convicted killers and rapists out on the street who have not been rehabilitated.

      I wouldn’t argue with the possibility of temporarily releasing nonviolent criminals.

            “Dumbest thing [you] ever heard” is entirely different from “completely impossible,” you know.

                Obviously it’s “possible” to unlock all the doors and walk away.

                Thank you for admitting you were wrong.

                Whatcha gonna do with all the actual, legitimate violent criminals who just got dumped back into society all at once?

                How the fuck should I know? It wasn’t my idea, nor did I endorse it.

                    Assuming you do, that means you intended to be petty, and have nothing to add.

                    You get what you give, buddy.

        Every prison should be replaced with facilities for drug treatment, support groups, and job training. Give those people something to do and they won’t be a threat to anyone, and that burden on society will disappear in a couple generations because they’re not passing it on to their offspring.

        But of course that doesn’t directly make money for the people who own the system, so good luck convincing the folks in charge to make a change.
