Jails are replacing visits with video calls–inmates and families hate it
This is American &quot;justice&quot; culture. We can do anything we want to &quot;bad people&quot; because they are intrinsically &quot;bad&quot;. You can tell they&#x27;re bad because they&#x27;re in jail. If they were good people, like me, they wouldn&#x27;t be in jail.<p>Anyone caught suggesting something is too much punishment is not &quot;tough on crime&quot;. They want the bad people to win (so don&#x27;t vote for them!). Reducing sentence length, improving prison conditions, trying to actually help those on prison, that&#x27;s all just weakness, that&#x27;s not being tough on crime.<p>Who cares that recividism is more expensive than rehabilitation- the point isn&#x27;t to save money or reduce crime, it&#x27;s to punish the bad people. I mean, if we stop thinking of them as bad people, how am I supposed to know that I&#x27;m a good person?
