Though the jury’s still out on the most effective solution, one thing is clear: harsher prison sentences for drunk drivers don’t translate to fewer DUI offenders on the road.

Is jail a deterrent or a punishment?
I firmly believe the justice system should be about rehabilitation, but clearly it is actually about punishment.
Most laws are for people without enough money. This one’s not though.
And money.
its a deterrent AND a punishment in its current form sadly.
And mny people use its status as both to justify its most draconian methods. They say that since prisons keep dangerous people like jeffrey dahmer away from the innocent public this justifies ALL the harsh things we do to ALL criminals. Even the non-violent criminals who were abused as children… these previous stated criminals could be easily given rehabilitative therapy to get to the core issues of abuse they faced as a child. But in our modern world most of these non-violent people are treated as if theyre an equivalent to a serial killer even though theyd never touch the hair on anither person’s head.
Prison time should clearly be about rehabilitation, AND deterrence through protecting the public from unfixable phychopaths but we can clearly see how it isnt about these factors today seeing as how most of the people from the Epstein Files are out and about, most pedophiles grt a slap-on-the-wrist jail sentences, nost of the peoplw who have partaken in thr Palestinian and Sudanese Genocide will probably not be jailed , and most prisons resort to draconian means that if you asked a psychologist about them theyd say these would not rehabilitate a person at all.
