I was hoping this would be the model for rest of the country to follow but they fucked it up bad.
We know it can work. Portugal has done well with their system which 110 was supposed to mimic.
My concern is the taint of 110 will stop it from being tried again or used as a reason why other states shouldn’t try.
People also thought it legalized drug dealers. It don’t. The war on drugs will still enforced. It just wasn’t focused on the user. It was focused on the dealers.
What is happening here? Could it be there is a tiny progressive streak in that cold conservative heart of yours? Soon you’ll be admitting black lives really do matter! Glory hallelujah!
Prison should be about removing the threat from society. Penitentiary comes from the words penance. Which means to acknowledge your wrong and absolve it. Paraphrasing there.
People should be given the opportunity to improve while in prison to avoid what sent them there.
Just sending them to prison creates a cycle that is hard to break. It’s in the best interest of society to break that cycle.
I’m not a religious conservative. So I conflict with the religious side with my views

Nothing progressive about it at all.
