The streets and schools would be safer with them wankers inside, that's where I'm coming from. Caught with a knife chuck em inside and throw away the key. These ain't pen knives were talking about here. They're barbaric weapons that should need licences
But what is the use of chucking everyone immediately on the scrapheap? There has to be a chance to redeem themselves while at the same time them being taught about the severity of what they've done.
If they're caught with a knife then they should get a second chance, so a hefty suspended sentence with them left in no doubt there would be zero leniency if they do it again and they will be getting sent down. Also mixed in with some sort of unpaid community work and ideally work with a therapist to get to the root of the behaviour. I know there will be plenty, probably including yourself, that will scream 'woke nonsense' but fact is those kinds of programmes have far better results than traditional punishments. Trouble is they don't get funding and the same people that complain about the collapse of society tend to be the same ones that are steadfastly against paying to make it better.
Of course if they actual attack someone, or indeed kill them, then they do need to be sent down, but mixed in with the other aspects I mention above. I know this wouldn't be allowed but I've always wondered if there could be a controlled way of letting offenders experience the pain of being stabbed/shot as a potential means of deterrence. Wouldn't work on all but surely a fair few would think twice.
