re: #498 Fozzie Bear
I think this is the wrong question to ask. “What are we accomplishing by incarcerating people with what is essentially a medical problem?” might be more apt, imo.
The success rate is fairly low, but then, what’s the goal? Is it to eliminate the problem, or mitigate it? I suggest elimination is impossible, a fool’s errand, and that mitigation is all that we could ever hope to achieve.
It’s not the wrong question to ask, because I fucking asked it. You don’t have a fucking answer, that’s your problem.
