        Why are you so hung up on their being “a punishment”.

        You’re coming up with these outlandish hypotheticals to justify your seeming desire to see …children… retributively harmed.

        Do we not at least agree in theory the at least ostensibe purpose of corrections is …correction?

        Do we agree that is the goal and should be worked toward in all cases?

        Starting from the position a person CAN be rehabilitated, do you agree from the point a person is rehabilitated there is no reason to lock them up?

        Do you reject that notion and believe a person who no longer thinks nor acts the way that lead them to commit harmful acts—just presume momentarily that’s possible—should still remain locked up?

        If the second, would you mind explaining what utility you feel that serves.? Leaving reformed people locked up.

            I’d be more than happy if you wouldn’t continue so don’t threaten me with a good time.

            How is discussing hypotheticals you’ve provided no evidence of existing in any way discussing reality?

            I asked you what you thought the purpose of corrections even was but you can’t even muster that much without blabbering on about Elijah Wood’s character in Sin City.

            What is the utility incarcerating a reformed individual?
            Save slave labor (which is fucked) what is gained by society by keeping a person locked up?
