Short jail sentences, rehabilitation sentences and capital punishment instead of todays system

1. Who implements the plan? (The punisher) The government 2. Where is the plan implemented? US 3. How is the rehabilitation center funded? The government 4. Your plan is not limited to drug crimes, but for other forms of crimes that are not considered as death penalty, what rehab do they do? The rehab would choose a program that suits them. The programs would be cheap. They would be offered vocational training or academic programs (high school diplomas or degrees) depending on their offenses. 5. How is this funded? From the government budget. 4. Why isn't your plan implemented? It is in certain jails and in certain states. Why it isnt implemented in every jail and in every state.. I dont know. Because of bad politics. 5. Through your plan do crime rates go down? Research shows that it does. Recidivism in US is around 70%. So there isnt even risk of losing money. Some reform must take place to prevent that awful trend. There is a whole documentary on the recidivism rate, but I cant remember the name of it. 6. Why is limiting government to choose the extent to which to punish an individual good? Because a government shouldnt have such moral authority to punish a prisoner in a sever way, and in a way that when prisoners are out, they are out as dangerous animals who try to fit back into society. A person in US can be sent to the toughest prison for being caught having crumbs of weed in his house. A jail where he can get beaten, raped or even killed. A jail that run a tight ship and keeps most of its prisoners for a long time because of some petty drug crime that they committed. 7. Can the government assign longer time periods of jail time to worse crimes that to a petty one? No. It would be better to get rid of them. Here is the whole logic. Prisoners who are too dangerous should be killed (e.g. serial rapists, same sex rapists, murderers and criminals who harmed children in sever way). Prisoners who can be rehabilitated into society, shouldnt be treated like animals or live in animal jail conditions. A government should only be able to send a prisoner for long sentences if it can provide the prisoner humane environment. 8. What is the decision calculus of someone getting capital punishment? As mentioned before, prisoners who got there for serious crimes. 9. Does manslaughter give the capital punishment? Yes. If it is first degree murder. 10. Does indirectly killing someone result in capital punishment? No. There is no justification for that. 11. Does telling someone they may be killed and then killing them result in capital punishment? No, 12. Is it possible for 1 innocent person to die as a result of your plan? Yes. As a result of capital punishment. 13. What does relatively mean? Does it mean 1 year shorter, 50% shorter, 1 year jail time? Can you give me a little bit more of an insight? 10 or 15 years should be the max. A judge can't give you more years than that. If he gives you more years, a capital punishment should be considered. 14. What is the decision calculus of how bad a crime is in the world of the Aff? Okay, here is the management of a prison should be aiming for. To keep a prisoner in jail. It needs to provide him clothing, bed, washing equipment, baths, medical care, reasonable entertainment (radio, tv, books) toilets and feed him, and provide proper security to protect prisoners from one another . A prison that doesnt provide such needs, have more stressed and vibrant individuals. What do you do when prisoners commit crimes inside a prison when they vent their anger? you put them in another jail. Jail inside jail.. solitary. Violence leads to gang violence, too. It is like in the game 'Prison Architect', if you played that game, you are familiar with the management dynamics. Why does US prison system enters the vicious cycle described? - Because it's system is privatized, and jails run tight ships. A level of violence that is kept inside prison. Deteriorates prisoners inside. Prisoners go back to prison after they have been inside.. leading to higher cost for the tax payer.. who keeps paying for the 3 million prisoners he already pays annually. An economy such as US shouldnt have a system that is inferior to the Norwegian system, which doesnt have all those problems. Norway invests in its jails, and rehabilitates people. A country like Portugal doesnt even convicts people for using drugs.
