      1/ Moral theory says that the four purposes of punishment are * rehabilitation * retribution * incapacitation * restitution Rehab is a blue wet dream; it doesn't work Retribution is a red hypocrisy. God told us that vengeance is His alone, and also Orwell "revenge is sour".https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1469672087883243526 …

      Arguably the only morally valid punishment for crimes. https://twitter.com/TheLumpenprole/status/1469670996428963847 …

      2/ Restitution is obviously good - if you break my window, you should buy me a new one. Simple tort. Incapacitation is the thing that I fixate on. If you commit a crime you should lose, IMO, the privilege of interacting w decent people. Make Exile Great Again.

      3/ I like the Icelandic concept of "outlaw". If you defect from the legal system, you are no longer under the protection of the legal system. The State does not kill you ... but nor does the state care if you get killed.https://twitter.com/LAWGermany/status/1469683324058755081 …

      I'm of the opinion that there are some acts, so egregious, so heinous, that one's life must be forfeit. Prison, structured as it is currently, may as well be characterized as "school for criminals". There shouldn't be privileges at all, unless and until they're earned, imho

      4/ that, but also ... rehab doesn't work. If you have some idea about how the kind of people who staff the DMV can change human nature, I'm all ears tho.https://twitter.com/braintree0173/status/1469681480444035074 …

      >rehab doesn't work nah more like locking people in cages and beating the shit out of them isn't rehab agreed on restitution being good, and incapacitation is obviously necessary when rehab isn't possible or isn't working. but not instead of trying to find a way for rehab to work

          perverse incentives, the state doesn't want to encourage capital flight unless it's only hobos we exile

          idk it might work for a % of offenders, a high enough % to warrant a 'tit for two tats' legal system of course, if the % that can be rehabilitated is low, then the inevitable gaming of such a system by hardened criminals might warrant scrapping it, but the converse is true

          by no means do i think that bureaucrats or, even worse, prison guards could or should try to change human nature. doesn't make it impossible for individuals to change some parts of their nature, given an environment conducive to doing so and incentive to try

          Getting somebody to a point where they feel like they have a stake in society post-release is the most reliable way to reduce reoffending. So I unironically think that along with work skills and interview training we should be teaching prisoners how to date.
