    He cracked someone’s skull open with a hammer at their house for no reason. Someone like this needs to be isolated from the rest of society. I can’t believe you use this as an example to state that you don’t believe in prison as punishment. We should be able to operate humane prisons, but segregating violent offenders protects society.

      Cool so should the default solution for every fucking problem be the same solution we apply to a guy that cracked someone’s skull open with a hammer?

      I’m not saying this guy doesn’t deserve to be punished. I’m saying prison shouldn’t be the default solution for everything. People like you who defend the prison industrial complex are the reason it still exists. You are using your emotional reaction to one incident to justify a human rights crisis in your fucking backyard and it’s lazy and pathetic. Be a better person.
