What is your plan to manage crime without limiting the rights of criminals?
Do you have any idea what rights are we talking about? This is the right for dignity, eatable food, meds, beds, etc.
The goal should be reducing criminality, right? So criminals should have the chance to reeducation and to go back to society. This can only be assured by law, with RIGHTS.
Those who disagree are the capitalist pigs who profit for incarcerating the poor, without any obligation for decent food, medications and lodging.
Yeah I agree, but don't you think its limiting someone's rights to imprison them in the first place? That's my entire point. Every method of reducing criminality other than simply ignoring it requires you to limit the rights of criminals.
Imprisonment is not a right, its a control system of the state. They should be the only party allowed to incarcerate, but when they sell it to private corps they can profit from it and it becomes a business, and this is the reason of all our discussion here.
No that has nothing to do with our discussion. Imprisoning someone inherently limits their rights. I didn't say imprisonment was a right, I'm not sure where you got that from. The point is that imprisoning people is necessary, so limiting the rights of criminals is necessary.
