So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

    The current system doesn’t even attempt to rehabilitate people. That’s the big problem. The current system just doesn’t work.

          It doesn’t matter if people can change, it’s not up to a victim to suffer the presence of their abuser to satisfy an abuser’s interests. Ever.

          Your garbage ass rhetoric is the exact same chief enablers use to justify choosing their abusers over the rest of their families, and they destroy their households as a result.

          This is why we clearly need to cut people like you out of society as well. You don’t belong here either.

          I didn’t say don’t fix it. I said don’t let them back out when nothing was done to rehabilitate them.

            “Nothing was done to rehabilitate them, so rehabilitation doesn’t work.”

            There’s literally no logic here…

                It doesn’t track when the argument is that they should be rehabilitated rather than just locked away.

                  I never said they shouldn’t be, assuming they can be. What I said was if they are not, don’t let them out. Currently there is very little rehabilitation going on and those who are released are still a danger. This is not a good thing. If you don’t fix the rehabilitation problem first all you get are repeat offenders. Releasing un-rehabilitated criminals < locking them up forever < rehabilitation.

        And the shocking percentage of innocent people who are forced into bad plea deals or railroaded by the system? Do we throw away the key for them too?

          Those people are why I didn’t say we should execute them. They can still prove their innocence and get out.
