I think prison should be more about rehabilitation than as strictly for punishment. there's a reason the US has the highest recidivism rates in the US and it's not because this country is inherently more prone to violence or criminality than other nations.I’m not defending the J6 people, but I don’t follow your line of thinking on this topic.
Prison should suck. It should not be pleasant. You are there because you are a convicted criminal. It serves as a deterrent from committing crimes.
We have a thing called due process. We can’t subject people to those conditions without it. As I understand it, the J6 detainees have not received that and have been in jail for 2 years. That’s not right.
If they are convicted of crimes like using bear spray or beating a cop or whatever, I hope they get thrown in a shitty prison and are subjected to the sucky conditions that should exist for convicted criminals.
The irony i find in all of this is that the problems with this specific DC jail (scant food/water, squalid conditions, standing sewage, etc) has been well documented for YEARS and it's never caused the amount of uproar we're experiencing now thanks to the cries of these traitors. They're slowly going through and sentencing the rioters, and since none of the ~40 still being detained, of which they were the ones accused of committing the more violent actions on J6, were approved for bail they must wait in jail.
