Most incarcerated people will be released back into the community when their sentences are complete. What kind of citizens do we want them to be when they get out? We too much treat inmates and incarceration as trash we throw in a landfill, ignoring how we pollute our communities with indifference.
"Holy fuck this is spot on. The carceral state is living rent free in too many people’s heads… including people I’ve known who distrust law enforcement and the justice system. Some people want to be judge, jury, and executioner."

Excited to see Compassionate Charge Reduction published in the @ucdavislaw.bsky.social I advocate for prosecutors to reduce charges brought against victimized offenders in domestic and familial settings whose crimes directly result from their victimization. lawreview.law.ucdavis.edu/archives/59/...
Also lots of this "Judges" leave assassins/killers go free with Community Service Hours, a few weeks/months /years, instead the full weight of the Law as they deserve, or just let them go free; today's Justice System and Prison System are jokes, Criminals run their Empires from prison, so up yours
