In my humble opinion, most non-violent drug offenders, no matter the drug, don't belong in prison. Prison is a pathetically ineffective treatment for drug addiction. This is a major side effect of our failed War On Drugs and mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines.

@harundoener 3 роки тому
Yeah I never understood that. How does that make sense to privatize prisons? The state decides the rules to follow and if you break them, they should do the imprisonment too. Thats at least how it works here in Switzerland. The downside is, that serious charges have pretty low sentence time, since they want to keep you as little as possible in prison.

And this is why the US is so ass-backwards on leveling off the infection numbers and at even developing a vaccine.

They also took one man from his yard and put him on a different yard (of course that yard had no positive tests) for a week. The CO's kept refusing to wear masks, specially the employees that work in the main kitchen that feeds the entire prison.

We have to start TREATING mental illness in this country instead of sending racists with guns and handcuffs to deal with it. *EDIT: I was not implying that people with mental illnesses are criminals. Simply that when someone publicly displays behavior that doesn't make sense to neurotypicals, the cops are the ones who end up handling the situation. Their mental illness is interpreted as being disruptive to society (rather than a health problem that is first and foremost affecting THEM) and is therefore policed instead of treated.

Thank you, John, for bringing attention to this problem. Most find it difficult to be sympathetic to people in prison, but if they knew anything about the "justice" system, they would know that most people are in prison unjustly in many ways. And prisons don't work, especially at rehabilitation, which is not at a foundational principle at any prison. We are just keeping dysfunctional cycles going and handicapping a section of our citizenry. The fact that we incarcerate almost 700 people per 100,000 of our population is ghastly (this does not count juvenile detainees), most of whom are people of color. The US incarceration rate is more than Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, double that of the Russian Federation, Brazil, Cuba, etc.

Problem is technically they did a felony. Criminal laws are nonretrospective. This nonretrospectivity was done to prevent being incarcerated by ex post facto laws (where a law was created to punish people AFTER it was done for purpose of extended detainment) and double jeopardy. It also created an unanticipated logical backdraft wherein the crime WAS punishable before its repeal. Hence those who were caught while it was still illegal cannot be undone because it was a violation back then...

More like all drug offenses. Like alcohol prohibition was proof people are going to do what they want no matter how controlling their government is. Look at parts of Europe. All drugs legal and crime rates and overdose rates dropped tremendously. And if a cop finds a junkies stash they give it back and give them treatment options if they want help. Cops give them a chance to find help. Our cops and other americans treat our citizens addicted to drugs like worthless trash. The stigma is insane. A junkie robs and steals because of how society is built. It's expensive because drugs are illegal. Dolphins get high off blowfishes so I mean. They're smarter and they like getting high. So much hypocrisy in america.

Claudeus Gothicus I said it was misleading. He used facts, like the death rate being down to dismiss what the media warns about coronavirus. Yes the death rate has been decreasing but if more people get the virus and we just forget about the whole thing all together then more people die. Plus its the leading cause of death in the world and there are multiple charts to prove that. And if people dont like misinformation they should flag it and dislike it bc no one needs that stuff to spread. Its like if youre a bad musician no one will want to see you except its blatantly avoiding the real facts thats the problem.

I guess we can help him do that by liking this video, commenting on it, sharing it, and if you're not already doing it, subscribing to the channel. All of that will make it more visible.
