God forbid we actually rehabilitate people instead of profiting off of their enslavement and not actually giving a shit if they get better or not.
Paraphrasing a Scandinavian who gave an interview I once saw in a TV documentary about the correction system in some nordic country:
Once that perpetrator gets out of prison and rents an apartment next to you, would you rather he was subject to inhumane punishment? Or would you rather he was treated like a human being and learned how to behave in society?
Heh, the amerikkkan answer is simple: don’t let them rent next to you. They’ve accomplished it by ridiculous rent prices, charging inmates to be in jail (so they come out with debt), and shackling them to low paying jobs.
It’s even more absurd as surely the objective should be to have less victims of crime, so doing whatever gets that result seems logical.
A lot of people’s concept of justice isn’t based on logic. Rehabilitation makes more sense logically, but retribution feels better.
They’re not allowed to teach Java. Otherwise they’ll be referred to the ICC for crimes against humanity.
At least they are allowed a ThinkPad.

The sentence should scale with the crime. Nonviolent burglars and minor frauds could be taught Python, more serious crimes could get Go, whereas the most depraved offenders could be sentenced to C++
Not envious of that serial killer having to decide between Assembly and Haskell
The real reason Hannibal Lecter broke out was he had to write Clojure in Notepad
The murderers have to do C++.
Impossible! You mean to say… prisoners are just human beings?! Preposterous! Ludicrous, even!
What heinous crime one must commit to be forced to learn fortran
