Uh, just because were not incarcerating quite as many people as the rest of our incarceration happy nation, does not mean we do not have a mass incarceration problem. We still have more people incarcerated than any country in europe by capita.

I have not seen an incarceration rate comparison between a representative EU nation and SF. I have seen compassions between SF and other CA cities and ours is and has been since Gascon much much much lower.

It looks to be about 2x 3x of European countries, and about half of Russia, which is also in Europe.

Russia is russia, not really a part of europe, or asia.

You probably wanted to refer to the “EU” as a comparison, but that can break because I think the US is much more cohesive as an entity.

I mean if you take arizona's mass incarceration rates and compare that with turkey.... We are cohesively mass incarcerating people. in way more quantities than any civilized country has any reason to be.

Right, but the point was about SF if I remember. SF is doing good because it has comparable rates, and because, the argument goes, most crimes are already decriminalized. I said, something like, why no Boudin in Arizona, I think it’s overkill for SF. If nothing, big salary.

I do hope someone like Boudin gets possession of a attorney general position, and hopefully in as large and populous of a state as possible, I think larger california is a great target for soon to be attorney general

How would you feel if: a) the prison rate remained exactly the same b) prison teaches you jobs and social skills. From coding to walking dogs.

Ie in lieu of legalized drugs, you are imposed a choice “you can no longer be a drug dealer, but you can choose to be whatever you want”.

Why should plastic surgery be legal, but drugs be illegal? Cognitive liberty over prescriptive busybodies!

Both should be equally legal or illegal. But that’s besides the point, it’s a thought experiment.
