    Do you really think this guy has been rehabilitated enough to be allowed a cell phone?

      It’s not a question of if he is. It’s a question of how to get from where we are, to a place where we are rehabilitating instead of threatening and punishing.

      No system is perfect, but we can’t over-marginalize criminals just to keep ourselves safe from them, or we risk just entrenching their beliefs.

        We also can’t allow criminals to continue committing crimes from prison.
