I rolled up soooooo many pimps.
Quote:To be honest, I did not understand everything you wrote. I assume you mean that prisons are a good thing in that they remove violent criminals from the society. But the fact is that recidivism for violent crimes is very low. Of 100 murderers, only about 1 or 2 of them murder again. And, again, even if recidivism of violent crimes were a problem, putting murderers into prisons from which they will return with even more psychological problems is hardly a solution............................well.
Recidivism is a legit subject, but idk what kind of data you have where you're from, especially given recent history. Again, I very strongly suspect that at least some f the people I rolled up never committed the crime, and, beyond that......that recidivism (or initial commission of a crime) were negatively affected by how we treated subjects in custody.

It's a pleasant fiction that well adjusted people never have reason to kill some other person. We -always- have reason to kill another person...and that might explain why we do it.
I wasn't scouring the countryside for murderers...I was scouring the countryside for war criminals. People who opted to do terrible things beyond the regular purview of law.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
