On the flip side, having your hand fall off at work can't be that much of a picnic, either.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 02 Mar 2016, 23:06 ---So, you are saying that the government should withhold medical care from cons on probation, am I right? That they should guarantee that they reoffend by forcing them to use illegal providers, risk unlicensed practitioners or steal to pay for help?

I'm more saying I don't care about cons on probation. That I don't care how long it takes for them to get medical care.

And this is exactly the societal attitude that perpetuates the cycle of recidivism. When people attempting to reenter society are denied by circumstances and institutional roadblocks the opportunity to make a viable living through legitimate means, sliding back into crime becomes more and more inevitable. Even if you totally lack empathy for them, from a purely pragmatic standpoint you should care about the well-being of people in the Justice system because that is the way to reduce crime.

Suppose you make one mistake. You just happen in the wrong place at the wrong time but you still have to pay for that for six, seven years of your life. And when you come out, the system is stacked against you the very second you step out. Suppose you have an inherent condition that could be easily dealt with but because you spent time in prison, you're going to suffer.
You're saying that you would rather parolees suffer despite the fact that they have done their time and paid their debt to society.
So which is the real crime?

Two days ago, we were on the topic of Faye's BO, and now we're discussing rescidivism and societal barriers against ex-cons.
Goddamn, I love this comic and its forum.
Kugai:
She does have two outside options as most have mentioned here. Faye or Hanners.
It shall be interesting to see which way things go here with that.
