--- Quote from: Thrillho on 13 Sep 2018, 14:33 ---I also have to disagree with the 'should' word here. Repentance? The penal system isn't about repentance, religious or otherwise. She is serving her time. I also see no reason why she has to regret her actions. Regret achieves nothing for the person regretting, particularly when that is regret of a crime.

And this, at its basic, is the reason why the American correctional system fails. People presume that "doing time = repentance." That is why many states call their state-run jail facilities "penitentiaries".

This is an interesting collision of the arguments I find interesting.
People who have served their time should get the chance to show they have learned not to behave the same way.
At the same time, people who are in the system, need to learn, it's prison. .not a 5 star hotel. A certain level of deterrent is needed. May projects the mentality early on that she regrets getting caught.
If someone I know has been rightfully convicted, then it's the job of the family to help the person correct their way. Not abandon them.
To answer your question, yes I have worked in a convenience store. It's wasn't the best , but it's wasn't too bad

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 11 Sep 2018, 21:08 ---I wonder how much Jeph has been reading about the criminal justice system in our own world. Ex-cons who could contribute are all too often forbidden to do so. There's no public safety reason to deny a tax cheat a license to cut hair but many places do.

I suspect that sort of treatment depends on the tax cheat. Goldman-Sachs would probably be more than happy to hire a Congressman who was caught cheating on his taxes. (That's assuming tthe IRS would actually bother pursuing any of them.)
