I’m not saying separation dangerous people from society is a bad one.
I’m saying prison shouldn’t be the default solution for every offense.
The USA has the highest number and percentage of incarcerated people anywhere in the world because everyone’s kneejerk response is, “but we need it for dangerous murderers!” instead of “it’s a human rights crisis that we’re allowing to happen in our backyards and we’re choosing to allow it to happen instead of doing the hard work of brainstorming and building an effective alternative”.
