    False dilemma. It would be like me saying “do you think pedophiles and mass murderers shouldn’t have to pay back their debt to society?”

    As far as marijuana decriminalization goes - I’m all for it. And I don’t even smoke.

      I think the issue in this thread is that when you think of slavery, the only thing that comes to your mind is the worst of chattel slavery, which was worse than our current prison system. There are many other forms of slavery throughout history some were “better” than our current prison system, many were worse.

        Curious if people in this sub would rather be in an American, Russian, or Chinese prison system.
