    If you reject the possibility of a reform you might as well just apply the death penalty to any crime, because people can’t learn and grow, right?

    Oh wait that’s just fascist rhetoric, whoopsie

      Driving a car is a privilege, not a right. They might never even serve time in prison. But no more license.

      If a doctor was sterilizing people without their consent, would you have him practice medicine again like the fascists did?

        jesse, what the fuck are you talking about? also,

        You’re an adult.

        reaching the age of majority doesn’t make a boy a man. learning from the mistakes you’ve made is what it means to grow up.
