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.

That we were still incarcerating the same obscene counterproductive and unnecessary quantity of people, and I would rather have the doctors, teachers students, and simple business people, rather than being in the business of mass incarceration. For every prisoner we miss a PHD

But what if for every prisoner we get a carpenter. But that causes someone from abroad not to be able to immigrate due to no available jobs?

Jobs are not a zero sum game, more employed people functioning in the economy means more productivity, more resources and more jobs. Our economy would be better without all the dead weight of such an obscene number of prisoners.

But I’m trying to rethink prison. Why do we have to accept it as dead weight?

Its not precisely dead weight now, and that's part of the problem its being abused to create a system of mass slavery. The owners of the private prisons are selling the inmates time to the highest bidder, and paying the inmates cents a day.

Is there someone rethinking that but without touching who gets to go to prison (which is what I think Boudin does).

Again, I’m fine with most drug related offenses (sales, use) being let go from all prisons right this very moment.
