    Are there exceptions? I can see that being true for most people but you know some are just passed that point and rehabilitation might not be an option.

    I’m personally not for evil treatments btw it was more a joke then anything but i can see why some could make a point for that being a correct option.

      If someone is literally a danger to society, sure. But (especially in the US) the jails are absolutely crammed full with people that, by and large, only committed nonviolent crimes.

      And even for things classified as “violent crimes” - a lot of it is overblown or committed by people who would otherwise not be violent but were pushed to the brink by a brutal, uncaring society.

      Incarceration should really be an absolute last resort reserved only for the worst of the worst, but instead we fill beds like we’re meeting a quota because it funnels taxpayer dollars into rich people’s pockets. (And that’s not just the US, either, although we’re certainly one of the worst ones for it.)

        Sir, this is a Wendy’s meme community for tabletop RPGs, the most popular of which has explicit good/evil alignment as a game mechanic.

        You’re not wrong, but this is a weird place for the soapbox.
