Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Yeah let's reform this 66 year old child murderer.
He can repent and do good works behind bars just fine.
US prisons aren't humane, so it's impossible to do good work behind bars.
It's also impossible for him to murder anyone else before he kicks the bucket himself. I'd call that a win.
So, should the goal for prison be to serve as punishment or to literally torture people? Either way, they're separated from everyone else.
Is this your first time ever hearing of the american prison system, or do you just not consider prisoners to be people?
Guess he should just be executed then, since he can't be reformed and prison isn't humane.
He should be, yes.
I didn't know you were a psychiatrist specialized in reformation. Good thing we have you to know who can and can't be reformed.
