I've been working in criminal defense for 15 years. I talk about CJ reform in social situations because even when I'm not working, it's what I'm thinking about. I've heard a lot of people tell me their opinion on approaching crime but never have I come across someone who came so close in alignment with my views and sentiments on incarceration as this speaker just did. What a relief!

Feb 2. 2016. Maya Schenwar: "Just recently, over the past few years, incarceration has been making the headlines. This is partially due to a state budget crunch and a new conservative enthusiasm for reform. Suddenly a number of politicians are wondering whether we should really be spending $80 billion a year on prisons." ~2:30

@searose6192 4 жыл бұрын
The purpose of prison is not vindictive punishment, nor is it rehabilitation. It is self defense for the public from people who want to do them harm. I see no way in which this problem can be solved without prisons. How do you stop someone intent on harming you from harming you if you can’t put physical barriers between you? Societies have two choices, put walls around the perpetrators or put walls around the victims. Victim’s should not be consigned to prisons of fear out of an abundance for compassion for monsters.

I pried his mind for tips on shoplifting without getting caught- Anyone who thinks this system is reforming people is naive, they've never seen the inside, they've never seen interactions between prisoners, if anything Going to Prison will teach you to be a better criminal.

Majority of people in prison aren’t actually violent though. The U.S has approximately 1 million inmates and that’s a lot of people who aren’t violent and don’t have access to the proper help. Not to mention prison sentences end so wouldn’t it be better to find a solution for the issues that cause people to commit crime instead of throwing them in cages? The solution to resolving crime is also obvious if u do research Bc the majority of inmates have mental health issues or are in poverty. That means if we fund schools in lower income communities and do things like decriminalize drugs for proper regulation, make access and research into mental health more widespread, and we as a society focus on collaboration and education instead of punishment then we won’t use prisons as a solution and we can target the issue from the root. American potential is being wasted behind those cells because people didn’t have access to what they need and the money can be re invested from prisons to provide more opportunities for people. Just a thought good luck!

I completely agree with all the problems about prison but managing violent criminals is so problematic. Maybe a halfway house for violent criminals (I.e. like Norway) could work. Removing all non-violent criminals from prisons and giving them an alternative punishment (not a fine) would be a great start and would probably free up a lot of money.

16 minutes and no discussion of what restorative justice is, whether it’s fair to victims, and what to do about crimes for which there can be no restoration. Here’s an example: somebody sprays acid in your face to steal your scooter. You are now permanently disfigured, require medical care, and are likely in pain. What can the assailant possibly do besides repay you for the medical care and return the bike? How will we prevent the assailant from just moving on while the victim has to live with the consequences forever? And that’s to say nothing about serial murderers and the like. For all of the good ideas presented in this video, the speaker had no solution to the dispensation of justice for violent crime

Seems like she's forgetting the fact that those people in prison were not just thrown in there, they were CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED. It doesn't matter if a person hurt someone because they were hurt, or if they committed the crime to "survive". The point is that they BROKE THE LAW. The point is they are deemed UNFIT to be living in society for what they've done. Society has RULES. Justice isn't always about healing, it's not just about correcting the criminal's behavior, some criminals CAN NOT AND DO NOT HEAL & NEED to be kept from society. It''s about keeping them from society because they don't follow society's rules. Pretty simple. & she makes humans in cages out to be inhumane, which it is, but the reason that person is in a cage is because they were convicted of a crime for doing something inhumane. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You missed the point, prison doesn't work. Prison creates more prison. It's a cycle. Most prisoners will be released at some point, and they're even worse when they get out, more likely to commit crimes, not LESS. Not to mention the effect of prison on prisoner's children, who are more likely to be incarcerated themselves. Prison replenishes itself as it creates a whole new generation of prisoners. Prison is in itself a form of violence, and violence only begets more violence.

Yes, we all know prisons don't work that well and cause a lot of harm with the 'negative reinforcement'. However, she didn't really offer any solutions, so 'abolishing prisons' is just 'stage 1 thinking'. Furthermore, the people who end up in prison are just symptoms of a whole society that practices these negative reinforcement strategies. Question: How do we implement positive reinforcement strategies in society as a whole? The tough part is that a lot of kids are subconsciously taught from a young age to avoid getting caught. (Negative reinforcement strategies force the kids to not learn to do 'good' but instead learn how to not get caught)

Less than 5% of the world's population, 25% of the world's prison population Ok...what percentage of the world criminals do we have? (Including only countries that actually have functioning legal systems) Considering all the unsolved violent crime in the US, I would say more than 25%

@@selfishbeats Exactly, the fact that judges can interpret the law the way they want makes it a tyranny. Judges need to be given double or triple the sentence if they screw up, and court rulings need to be put on a referendum so they're democratized, the people should be able to say whether a ruling is good to go or should be discarded.

These "marginalized" people are criminals. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in prison, yeah prison should reform you, BUT, it is to keep dangerous people away from society, reforming them is an extra, not the objective. And if they are reincarcerated, well, it is obvious why...

James Fleming No she doesn't, her voice is creaking because she is deliberately using vocal fry. Feminists do this in an attempt to make their voices sound more like a man's (deeper) because their ideology teaches them that acting like men will make people take them more seriously, it also serves to broadcast her beliefs to other progressives. Needless to say, this entire talk is predicated on the absolute refusal to acknowledge reality. Non-Whites are more often jailed because they are more often criminals. The greatest factor in the delinquency of young Black men is the destruction of the Black nuclear family by feminism. Talk about creating job security.
