its the real world. Its how I need to live, I need to keep thinking people will change. I used to think like that but I grew I realized that change will come if everyone has faith everyone shows love to those that need it
I'm sorry man but you're going to set yourself up for disappointment with that mindset. Just live your life positively and try and be an example by your actions. There's a balance in the world, for all the love you put out there's just as much hate, it can't be all love. If hate didn't exist you wouldn't even know love.
Not every criminal can be reformed that is for sure, but bringing pain onto them would only make them angry and more resistant to change. It could also psychologically impair them that there would be nothing left to save.
I watched a documentary about a Russain prison called "Black Dolphin" before. It is so terrifying that the prisoners commented on how they'd rather be dead.
The prisoner's moves were always monitored 24/7. They were only able to communicate with one other individual(their cellmate) for there was no mess hall to go to. They ate, slept, and went to the bathroom in their cells.
Albeit there was no offer to counseling, but the prison was effective without any need of violence(at least none that was shown).
The fear of pain is greater than the pain itself. The complete restriction of freedom is a very harsh punishment that would make anyone think twice about committing another crime.
Nice that sounds like something I would like to watch. My main problem though with jailing prisoners or even trying to re educate them is that it comes out of the tax payers pocket. I'm literally paying for some serial killers meal with my hard earned money. Not only that but the people in charge of the prisons make billions, and in the majority of prisons around the world they're just housing repeat offenders.
