-as an addendum, there’s alot more riding on our prison complex from a utilitarian and societal standpoint than those things many interested people would normally accept as good. Positive and negative edge cases where “but we shouldn’t be doing that @ has little value or meaning outside of some external commitment or metric. External to the good of society I mean. This is true of prisons but also true in general. The things that are truly “good for society” may not completely overlap and may lay outside of what’s “good for people”.
That grey area is a pretty constant objection to world building idealism of any kind. We’re over here trying to answer complex questions with tons of moving parts and the whole time we can’t even work out what would be ethical for our next meal. Whether or not it’s actually okay to fool around with our mistress.
