Here’s a movie you might enjoy (not sarcasm on this one you won’t open it and find my sequel to the RayJay/KK seminal movie)youthathletics wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 12:14 pmI know b/c the current system is NOT working, where they know it's NBD and a badge of honor to say I served time with their cohort. So it tells me, we did not serve them well while incarcerated...they need more time and attention to the why they are there in the first place; mental health therapy. So if you want to throw money at something....throw it at mental health for those in prison.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 11:21 amHow do know that increasing incarceration isn’t changing people for the worse. Again, we need to do a better job of investing in our youth. I am a big believer in mandatory social or military service for HS grads with no plan for life after HS. A lot of people end up in the system because of poor choices and lack of opportunities….not because they are bad people. Many ultimately become the hardened criminals you keep ranting about…..I am going to give you a “clue” as to why I believe our system needs improvement…..we have a lot of people in jail that don’t belong there and we have a lot of people on the streets that should be in jail. Do you disagree?….you BAPAB….youthathletics wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 10:51 amNot following you on the religious viewpoint comment....or even how you connected the two. The entire conversation is about hard crime and Guns....I even spelled that out, I am guessing you did not read all of what I wrote. No clue what your point is about your friend....again, you lost meFarfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 10:45 am This is a fully religious viewpoint that rejects biochemistry in human beings
Yes, I agree. And they would not view themselves as hardened criminals if they are receiving value for their time served and understand 'the why' they were there in the first place.
Consider SOF members in the military by comparison. Many of them entered the military with similar trauma, little direction, behavioral issues as youth, then experience even more trauma while Operators, coupled with CTE, TBI, PTSD, and prescription drug addictions etc....and then never talk about all mental health struggles within their own community b/c it shows weakness (similar to inner city demo) Only difference.....these men seldom commit crimes and yet have the highest suicide rates. Sure, two different demographics...one commits crime and takes other peoples lives for money and drugs, and the other takes their own life. And the fix......mental health for both work, and often finding purpose in Faith and serving others i the community.
No idea what BAPAB means.
