What reason do you believe that?
Do you think it is uncomfortable in jail?
Let's analyze that.
Most jails now are equipped with soda machines n TV. Some have more amenities as well. Most jails allow prisoners access to the internet. In jail prisoners have free food, free shelter, free electric, free water, free cable.
Some states now allow something called a conjugal visit which is basically if a prisoner has a significant other, that person is permitted to come at set times in order to have sexual relations with the prisoner so as to prevent the sexual abuse within the prisons.
Perhaps you think having their rights taken for an extended period of time will make them think twice?
As odd as it sounds, after a time, a person adapts to losing their rights. After this adaptation when they are suddenly released n given their rights back and basically told, "go now, live free" ... it is confusing and terrifying to the person if they have been locked up too long. Many will commit crimes at that point just for the reason to get back in jail So...at that point, abuse becomes a "tool" to get what the person feels they need to survive. So now you have someone committing abuse in order to survive bc their mind is that messed up, and the victim that was just abused with a messed up mind needing to figure out how to survive ... both looking at a world they don't understand n being scared n just reacting.
So ... We need to fix the system instead of creating more problems, prevent them. Maybe Darkness has a good idea.

That's definitely something to think of, thanks for that.
But it doesn't have to be prison, though. We could come up with a new system.
