Tough-on-crime advocates frequently co-opt victims' voices to push for more incarceration.
But is more prison time what most victims want?
Let's be better listeners.

We don't have prison to make victims feel better. We have it as a deterrent to crime.

That’s partially true, once the crime has been committed it does make victims and society at large feel better when the criminal is locked up. Case in point, the national celebration when D Chauvin was convicted.

It also deters crime. Don't come at me saying it doesn't eliminate crime 100% -- nothing will. I'll take a 90% reduction though

Right! I said his statement was partially true(deterrent to crime) but missed the mark with (prison is not to make victims feel better). Take a deep breath and reread what you attack
