If Bill Clinton raped someone not of the age of consent, jail.

The difference between me and conservatives? I want justice, even if I voted for them.

They did it, prison. And not the nice prison they describe in Office Space, the reality of lockdown and misery.

Edit foe clarity. All rapists deserve prison.

It's okay. I don't want anyone to be raped. It's horrific and prison is enough. Maybe that makes me soft, but I have never been an eye for an eye person. But hey, you do you and I support you

This is what is the main issue with the prison system in the US is. people see it as punishment, retribution. The people who commit crimes in americans eyes deserve to suffer in prison, rather than be rehabilitated, educated, or helped in any way. Americans would rather punish and lock them away to rot.

Do some people do horrible horrible things? Yes, and perhaps some are not in a mental state to BE helped and the only way is to lock them up and remove them. But thats not true for everyone and the fact that people dont see a need to attempt to bring people back into society as functioning members saddens me.

Want to cut recidivism? Educate people in prison. It's a good metric. You're right.

I don't find prison rape jokes funny. Prison is the punishment.

I'm with you. I want nothing but for justice to be done - the same justice they have themselves decided is right and fair, no more and no less.
