Most incarcerated people don’t need to be incarcerated: https://mkorostoff.github.io/incarceration-in-real-numbers/
-Get rid of jail for most pre-trial persons.
-Get rid of jail for most probation violations.
-Get rid of jail for most non-violent crimes.Revamp drug laws across the board, decriminalizing most drugs (if not all)
Change what jail IS (its current incarnation is by definition violent).
But this won’t line pockets of for-profit prison C-suite shit stains (who themselves should be locked up in these very prison conditions, if they wish to keep it that way).
Fuck the system. Change the system.
Fuck the police. Defund the police.
Build a Public Safety Affiliation that helps the people on the streets with their presence. Fight crime at the source, usually systemic poverty, racism, inequality.
Plastering resources everywhere within view for public services that prevent homelessness, unemployment, eviction, etc., as well as help those who are experiencing those issues.
Proactivity, not reactivity.
-Get rid of jail for most non-violent crimes.
this still leaves thieves. Some people just gotta put their fucking dickbeaters on other people’s shit. Not talking about someone stealing a meal, we’re talking larceny fraud and robbery. I don’t think they should be serving ‘fuck them in the ass prison’ hard time, but these fucks live like parasites on the lifeblood and savings of decent honest people.
Fuck if they only stole from televangelists and rapists I’d be their biggest fan. But hard targets aren’t attractive to this type.
So what do we do with the fucking thieves?
Notice I said “most”.
