      Z H when you say good I assume you mean when they have disagreements and begin to expound on those disagreements? I’m pretty sure they won’t show it because they don’t want to prove anyone wrong and cause more division. Jub is all about uniting and what not. They don’t want anyone to be made out like a fool, especially any liberal view points since they are super far left wing bias

      sounds like a whole lotta bullshit to me. The black people have every right to fear for their lives when the police pull them over. Studies evaluating big data consistently show that black and brown people are targeted more frequently by the cops. Cops go into poorer communities, where POC are overrepresented and go after the poor people of color because they know that their lives do not hold the same political sway as, say a white person. There's a lot out there about racialized stereotypes and the effect it can have on groups of people in a minoriy/majority. Especially with the anti-black foundation of this country (slavery, jim crowe, war on drugs, etc.) we see many cultural undertones of racism and injustice. These undertones have detrimental effects on the way we treat and value different groups of people. Law enforcement disproportionately targets black people due to the school of thought they subscribe to, labelling an entire race as criminal. And the interaction between dominant cultures and sub cultures eventually forces black people to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If there is no justice and you are born a "criminal" simply for the color of your skin, then why not commit crime. Also it is not true that black people commit more crime. Looking at usage/criminalization ratios for marijuana across racial lines show that black and white people use the illegal substances at the same rates, however black people are punished doubly. Don't tell me that black people are playing "roles" when there is a genuine reason for them to live with a sense of fear. There is a TARGET on their backs and they have every right to ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE.

      My father works for my state's Department of Correction. There's a _huge_ fucking issue in our justice system with recitivism. Rehabilitation is something are country needs to strive for.
      A big part of the problem is that prisons have been privatized. They're being run like businesses, and no buisness would strive to put itself out of use.

      Jade Blue I don’t buy that. Saying something along the line of “yeah there are some things we can do better and your experiences with the system are valid,” would not cost them their jobs. I am mainly concerned by the guy with the buzz cut’s attitude. He was completely dismissive of what the ex-felons were telling him and had a justification for every action the police or justice system took, regardless of how shady it was.

      My suggestion was for “sentencing” which a judge decides on. Yes jury’s can decide on the death penalty but a judge decides how long an offender stays in prison. That’s why there’s a separate sentencing hearing after an offender is found guilty or not guilty by the jury. The jury does not decide how many years an offender goes to prison for.

If we were truly free you'd be able to get education on all drugs and decide what you put in your body with no consequence other then the drugs afffects to yourself. Most currently locked up offenders are non violent drug offenders.. its a cash cow rather then to help peoples real mental problems trap them in a cycle that constantly takes their money and gives them no hope. Rather then allow the study of drugs like weed that could reduce use of other drugs and be medically beneficial even to this day its schedule 1 which means its illegal to even research it... which makes it easier to lie to people about its affects and push other drugs which the government sales secretly and makes tons of money off then in return lock up those same people and make money off their lives(Freeway Ricky for example)......

Speaking of, I feel like a job like a prison guard would attract a lot of power tripping and sadistic types.

    The problem that I have with the legal system is that once you’re a convicted felon, you never can pay back your debt to society in the eyes of the state. Someone can keep a clean record for 30 years after their crime but they’re still considered a felon and that always follows you around.

      Dubstep Household People make mistakes at young ages though. I don’t feel it’s ethical to hold someone accountable of victimless crimes they committed at the age of 17-20 30 years after the fact. It’s one thing if someone murdered/raped another person. But there are far too many people being penalized for victimless crimes, or still being held accountable for actions that they’ve paid for several times over. Authoritarianism isn’t the answer for deterring crime, and it certainly doesn’t rehabilitate those who are convicted felons. If anything it incentivizes felons to turn to crime as the legal system has crippled their ability to make an honest living.

      What's the point of someone doing thier time if they aren't even going to get thier rights back? You're supposed to serve your time and then be a free man. But in our country, that's not how it works, does it?
      Also, I'd rather not run a country with fear like some tyrant. Maybe you do.
      Also, it's been proven that rehabilitation works. Just look at how any Scandinavian country deals with the justice system

      Dubstep Household It seems as though your ideal country would be one in which you’re oppressed under a despotic regime based on your statements. If these people are honestly such vile threats to our society, why stop at stripping them of their liberty? Why not just execute them? Wouldn’t that preform the task of instilling fear and deterring “unfavorable behavior” more effectively? You see, I make such a rash over exaggeration because I’m not entirely sure you’re coming to grips with what you’re implying. Being a felon in the US not only denies the opportunity to affordable housing in most cases, but job opportunities, and even going as far as to strip you of the basic human right to self preservation by rescinding your 2nd Amendment rights. I don’t see how you can honestly feel that if someone was caught with a plant, or fake insurance card, they deserve to have their liberty stripped from them in such a way.

      AquaAnim Obviously it depends on the offense, and the wait time to be forgiven should be dependent on the nature of the offense. But we need to take a hard look at what constitutes a felony, how we should treat felonies, and how that should relate to gun rights.

That’s exactly what you don’t want to say to someone who is struggling mentally. Also, how is he going to compare military to prison?? Most places won’t hire if you have gone to prison.
