The sad truth is that once someone becomes a violent criminal they almost always stay that way. Rehabilitation is a lie. That's not what prisons are for. If it happens, great, but it's very rare.

This is true, but for a very small %. Most have never experienced Love in their formative childhood, and are essentially sociopathic. Very hard to 'cure', albeit China's model of prison might be the best option. There are no drugs, gangs and 'cultcha' in Chinese prison, just daily discipline and a force-feeding of Collectivist (anti-sociopath) dogma.

The fact that a lot of these people's condition is not their fault given the (supposed) "life's lotter" aspect of their cursed birth circumstances, is irrelevant IRL. There is an extraordinary Documentary - "College in Prison" I think, or something like that - that proves the ability of the worst of criminals to be successfully rehabbed. It would be a sin not to establish prisons which address this problem. Not everybody deserves or should be free; that "life's lottery" random justice/injustice is bs, IF God exists.

The worse things get, the sooner things happen.

Sounds good, but how do you implement state-level actions in a city like NOLA where "leadership" has been deliberately soft on violent offenders for so long? Seems like they would have to reform the entire local court systems, right? How does that work?

It's easier to be more optimistic about the surrounding parishes where NOLA's crime has been increasingly spilling over. They're sick of it, and I can see them going along because of a more sane leadership & electorate.

Take the whole book.....the solution is simple, for conservatives. Not so simple for the LIBS.

we almost double El fricking Salvador.

Maybe you missed the other thread, but is it possible that El Salvador isn't/wasn't locking up enough people?

Or do you Rwanda's police force are better (or at least as good) as the US?
