Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ultimately jail is meant to be rehabilitation, I see how the punishment fits much better.

But then I'm bias cuz I'm not a fan of the criminal justice system and prison industrial complex in general.

Jail is punishment only. They are cages to make people disappear while middle class white people pray to NIMBY Jesus.

Yeah, that's the dark reality. I love NIMBY Jesus, thank you I'm adding it to my vocabulary

Jails in the US are for punishment at best and torture at worst.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Jails in the US are for profit.

Agree and they're a cakewalk compared to Singapore.

Not suggesting this is ok, but that Singapore sucks lol
