So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

    Who said anything about letting people out early? You just decided I was talking about early release, but I never said that.

    The answer is, as always, spending some money on actual rehabilitation and letting them go at the end of that, or their sentence.

      If they have a defined sentence instead of “until you are rehabilitated” then you are letting them out early.

        In some kinds of Justice “until rehabilitated” is the sentence. And other systems part of rehabilitation is accepting the rest of your sentence with equanimity. You are so dead set on the idea of releasing some slavering barbarian early that you’re missing the entire point of the conversation.

          If that was true in ALL kinds I would be fine with it. It’s not. I’ve personally known people released from prison who were no better than when they went in.
