America has this weird fetishization with punishment
I read a story like this and all i want is for this guy to be punished and i don’t think its weird. That girls life is ended at 18 for what? The family is owed justice. Part of justice is punishment. Some part of justice is punishment isn’t it?
I think a lot of us try distance ourselves from things that should be okay to feel and experience. It should be okay to say I want certain people to be punished for the shit they’ve done. Because rehabilitation doesn’t always work and also not every person deserves the consideration.
Our current prison system was designed to pipeline former slaves into prison so they could stay a source of free labor.
As long as America has this weird fetishization with punishment (mostly on brown ppl) our prison system will keep doing its thing
