What 'genuine conversation' is there to be had?
Every single piece of data that exists on earth shows that higher sentences, MMS, three strike laws and the exponential rise in technical parole violations have minimal impact on recidivism or crime rate. The only thing they are directly tied to is the 500% increase in prisoner population in the US which just randomly happens to coincide with the rise of the for profit prison system.
It's almost like those laws don't protect the public (because they don't) and they're intentionally designed to damage the public to line the pockets of corporations at the expense of the state (they are).
Tonight for me is a special day. I want to go outside of the house of the girl I like with a gasoline barrel and write her name on the road and set it on fire and tell her to get out too see it (is this illegal)?
Nobody is arguing that people convicted of crimes shouldn't face punishment, my dude. I don't know why people keep appearing to think this.
Just that life in prison for attempted theft of hedge trimmers, even with his largely non-violent prior offenses, ain't a benefit to society, especially financially.

I think you're conflating you not giving a shit with nobody else giving a shit.
What countries will take our criminals? What if nobody wants to? How are we going to negotiate these contracts? How will we ensure that the prisoners Constitutional Rights are protected?
Not all of us live in the world of pure imagination.
Buh buh CHINA...
So you want to deport criminals. Which criminals? Which countries are you going to exile yourself to because you want to inflict harsh punishment in direct violation of the bill of rights?
Sounds like you’re a criminal in waiting and we should take care of you before it gets dangerous.
Wtf is wrong with you?
Comes a time when we all gotta die...even kings.
There seems to be an inference that simply imprisonment for any crime is wrong and jail cells should be gotten rid of.
