Sentencing enhancements don’t work. They are the product of a tough on crime sentencing era that led to our racist system of mass incarceration. These enhancements have torn apart families & communities, all while making us less safe. It’s time we end them.pic.twitter.com/5E5mjwnsbF

Zero deterrence. You are an embarrassment. Where is the data to support your claims?

The wildest part about this is that there’s no actual evidence that this harsh sentencing is working, yet anyone opposed to it has to come up with a mountain of data to head in any other direction. Harsh sentencing isn’t a deterrence, that’s well established in research.

I’m thinking about everybody’s life. There is no need for this punitive shit, it just wastes money and doesn’t work, so I don’t know why everyone insists on throwing their tax dollars (and general humanity) down the toilet to incarcerate people long term.

you seem to be under the mistaken impression that all criminals can be reformed. maybe yes, maybe no. but justice is keeping them away from you and your family, not letting them go because it might hurt their job prospects someday

You might have some Machiavellian justification if it actually worked, but it still hasn’t had any measurable effect on crime rates. It’s both a moral and utilitarian failure. Other countries have lower crime, and lower recidivism rates without enacting these types of policies.

Again: if it worked, this would be a moral argument. But it’s just wasting money and furthering trauma.
