Today an infamous handwringer from the seedy halls of academia opines that we should not cater to our base urges. Base urges like "lock 'em up forever".
Catering to punitive urges like:
The trouble is, even when an inmate serves their time, the fallout from that sentence is often lifelong. At best, a former inmate takes a short time to settle into a job, a home, and a community. At worst, they suffer lingering PTSD, societal discrimination, and more.
Lifelong fallout for the crim you say?
And what about the victim enduring a lifetime sentence of wondering what the next emboldened crim might do to him or her?
I personally do not give a toss re what any perp may experience or not long-term. It's a criminal who knowingly crossed societal boundaries and norms.
I say, cater to my base urges in favour of victims with enforced maximum term punishments.
