Think? Not say? Not declare someone to be awful and evil, not to declare their music, and idealization of violence as wrong? Not to declare and judge their abrogation of parental responsibility as in needing correction?

---

Applying the behavior portrayed in some random tweet to an entire segment of the population, then condemning that entire segment of the population for it is stupid. That's what we see here ad nauseum. You know this. You see it, too.

quote:

---

That's a pile of shite. You want it to be true, but it's not.
Many people over the years have been reformed during incarceration, you yourself admitted that many criminals age out of crime eventually.

---

Wait. You're arguing that someone aging out of criminal tendencies is evidence of effective prison rehabilitation? That happens DESPITE prison, not because of it.

quote:

---

The results speak for themselves: Of the 400 people who graduate from JUMPSTART Prison Ministry each year, 96% stay out of prison, permanently.

---

You're proving my point. JUMPSTART is a 501c3 that relies on volunteers to provide the rehabilitative services that the state refuses to provide.

Especially those 10 Commandments.

So for just Louisiana, EHCC Young Adult Program, Prison Fellowship, Louisiana Prisoner Reentry Initiative, the Second Chance Program, Prison Library Project, Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners, not to mention degree programs with Loyola University New Orleans at Rayburn Correctional Center, Tulane University at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women, and South Louisiana Community College.

Do you realize that at least half of the inmates in state custody don't have a high school diploma? They aren't eligible for college classes.

How many hours a day do inmates participate in these programs? Would you say they spend the majority of their incarceration involved with these programs you are touting?

quote:

---

That's insulting!
You are brainwashed, how dare you insult the thousands of people in each and every state that work with willing prisoners to help them improve themselves.

---

Look, I genuinely like you. I like hearing your perspective on things. You've demonstrated both intellectual and emotional intelligence. I really do enjoy engaging with you here. But reading a few links over the course of 15 minutes does not make you a prison expert. What is actually insulting is your indignant condescension because I refuse to buy into your fantasy that prison is akin to going away to college.

quote:

---

You are hurting those men, I'm not joking about this.

---

Respectfully, you have no fricking idea about all I do for these men (and women) once they are out of prison.

quote:

---

It's prison, but you are implying things... Be explicit with what exact trauma most people in prison are experiencing.

---

"it's prison." In other words, so what? Unironically stated directly under your condescending tirade upon realizing that I'm not pretending that prison is a safe and nurturing environment.


New data: State prisons are increasingly deadly places

Because what do you think is going to happen?

---

I don't have to think. I know what happens. We all do. Look at recidivism rates.

Have you ever spoken to anyone who went to prison about what prison was like? Just curious.

quote:

---

Because I expect people to use precise language on a discussion board. You're not talking about justice. You're talking about the criminal justice system. You're talking about the government, not justice.

---

You are the reason assumptions cant be guaranteed.

It’s obvious to everyone else that the discussion has been about criminal justice.

It seems that some people do actually spend their time online looking for
isolated horrific stories that they can bring to class and receive a gold star

At what point does mass transit murder cross frim being "isolated horrific stories" to something else?

quote:

---

All in the service of the hysteria regarding crime, ethnicity and the usual
cudgels that serve their misanthropic points of view

---

So, being horrified by a horrific crime is misanthropic? Ok, whatever. I think you just learned a new word and wanted to use it even though you do not quite know what it means.

If you don't know, you can just say that you don't know.

Don't do this to me

Why do we see it? Because Intersectionality has leaked into almost every other form of human communication.
Yes there are some who really just don't like people.
But you cannot pull a segment of America that is failing from being criticized.
When you do, that criticism will go to anonymous forums.
Real thought leaders will avoid the topic, leaving the topic poorer, and any potential solutions far away.

Wait. You're arguing that someone aging out of criminal tendencies is evidence of effective prison rehabilitation? That happens DESPITE prison, not because of it.

I'm quoting you lol.

You're proving my point. JUMPSTART is a 501c3 that relies on volunteers to provide the rehabilitative services that the state refuses to provide.

---

Wait that they can't? That they don't?
Those first 2 I proved that they can and do.

That the state is not doing good enough of a job?
Sure, but to improve that you have to believe in the ability of our nation to reform.

Was it ad absurdum? Or do you actually think that, you keep throwing around "everything"

Yea Public Schools suck...

Yea should I have mentioned HighET and similar programs at the state and federal level?

You can lead a horse to water.

So you admit that we don't just you know... throw them in a cell.
It's not a vacation, they have the opportunity to make something better of themselves, they could read their schoolbooks if they wanted.
And many do!

Our analysis allows us to distinguish between formerly incarcerated people who received GEDs in prison and those who received them on the outside. We found that of the 33% of all formerly incarcerated people (age 25+) who hold GEDs as their highest degrees, the vast majority (73%) received them in prison. In total, we find that almost 27% of formerly incarcerated people attained a GED while incarcerated.

---

I promise you you are no prison expert.
You do realize that prison experts write these studies and they do them well so others can understand what's going on?

I'm sorry it's challenging your deeply held beliefs, but this is factual data.

You claim of we just "throw them in a cage" is laughably false.

quote:

---

Respectfully, you have no fricking idea about all I do for these men (and women) once they are out of prison.

The number one thing for people is to acknowledge their behavior and how it hurts them and others.

It's the same for Christianity, for Alcoholism and drug addiction, for marriage counseling etc...

They last thing these people need is someone telling them it isn't their fault or listening to and accepting their excuses and lies.

New data: State prisons are increasingly deadly places

bad link.

You do know that graph looks like this one for drugs.



Those numbers are also significantly lower than on the outside.

Do we have to improve, it, yes of course.

But as a percent this is not "Most", most of these prison murders are gang related, most of the drug deaths are on the rise because Fent is so easy to smuggle.

Dozens, I've volunteered a lot. Rehab and prison cross paths for a lot of people.
I've also got family who went to prison.

I do care about these people, we just have very different views on what will help them.

She votes for trans science, so stop this nonsense.

---

There is a distinction between sex and gender. Any medical professional understands this.

Therefore, how we define “woman” as a gender, is distinct from how we define it as a sex.

I assume you’re referring to the sound bite some congresswoman baited Justice Brown into. Which makes sense, most Americans make their opinions on soundbites anymore.

You’re over simplifying it.

A man can never be a biological woman, you’re correct.

But medical science understands a biological male (male in sex) can be a female in gender. Transsexuals have been around since the dawn of human history, although just now being fully understood.

It has nothing to do with SCIENCE. Its sociology

Its made up, fabricated. We used to have transsexuals, they were real. Transgender is a fairy tale.
