I quite literally said it in this post. Black people are overrepresented in the prison system and this can be attributed to systemic issues within multiple areas like education, like the justice system like financial sectors. I didn’t go into detail in the original but I said this. Just read.

Rehabilitation is repentance.

No rehabilitation is rehabilitation. Repentance is repentance. Just because someone isn’t likely to do something again, it doesn’t give the person they shot in the kneecap the ability to walk straight again.

Nothing that person does will give that victim their ability to walk. In rehabilitation we ensure that person doesnt do that to someone else.

Not trying to be condescending but it’s like… do you though? Repeat offenders appears to be an ongoing and compounding issue. One must first realize what they have done from the person on the bitter ends perspective enough to try to make amends, even if they can’t grant them ability to walk again.

America has a number of repeat offenders due to its focus on punishment not rehabilitation. Someone who is rehabilitated will repent. Someone who repents will most likely fall into that same situation.

Repentance doesnt change the situation of a person is what I’m saying. Many people already feel regret of remorse for their actions. That feeling doesnt change their situation. Most crime is committed out of desperation. Most people don’t want to commit crime. All repenting is, is expressing regret or remorse for actions. Rehabilitation is removing the person from the situation that caused the desperation in the first place.

Are you a law or a pre law major? I’m not saying you have to be but… I don’t believe I’ve heard anyone other than a politician say “most crime is committed out of desperation.” Other than politicians who just utilize it as a talking point in the middle of a speech.

I’m a nursing major with a minor is psych. And it’s a known fact that people in areas with less resources are more likely to commit crime. That’s why it’s said poverty is the mother of crime.

Like it’s been awhile since my undergrad but that was almost a common theme of any criminology course, was studying the repeat offender issue and nearly all criminologists found prison/jail to be the equivalent of college for crime. They would gather together, compare notes, network, and plan future crime to commit towards both inside the institution and once they got out. It wasn’t desperation, there was entire economy surrounding the acts that could be studied.

It certainly contributes, that’s true. But the idea most criminals in the west are starving and just need something to eat is… an extreme we don’t find much of in areas where welfare/EBT have existed for more than a decade. There’s a have and have nots thing happening. A status thing in criminal organizations. They have their own code of ethics, system of internal justice, etc.

If you draw psych ward or ER for your first round of employment you’ll get to see what I’m talking about, or part of it, up close. Both of those have the tail end of a series of events leading up to them being admitted to the hospital. It is a super interesting field to study because you’ll find people of all spans of intelligence/economic situation committing crimes and being harmed/admitted in the process. It is weighted more heavily towards the poverty level, but often enough you’ll see a 1/2

2/2 a $300,000 Mercedes pull up to the doors, drop someone off with a knife wound or multiple gunshots, no insurance, but a wad of cash in their pockets when they are gathering their stuff to prep for surgery.

Brother most criminals arent organized. You can quite literally look this up. There’s a reason why most crime is committed in low income areas. Again poverty is one of the main contributors for most crime.
