- The belief that people convicted of crimes deserve retribution is commonplace. Yet fixation on harsh punishment is morally misleading. Erin Kelly, Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University, explains how the popular idea that the criminally guilty deserve to suffer is used to normalize inhumane treatment and to evade our collective failures as a society.

I’ve been to prison. After being around some of those guys, all I can say is thank god for prisons, some of those men are dangerous and would love to hurt anybody they come in contact with.
This is fantastic, agree with every bit of this. Our prison system is still so Victorian. Everyone who commits crimes are a result of their circumstance but nothing is done to reduce the things that cause this damage in the first place, The action is only taken once the crime has been committed
I enjoyed hearing her thoughts on this important topic, but I would have enjoyed hearing at least one hard solution to this challenging crisis.
Every second in this talk was about the realization of the truth. That people didn't stand up to confirm this is remarkable, but it only illustrates how we still are straggling along in the deep darkness of our ignorance and how long we still have to go before we will be able to see the light in the tunnel leading to the recognition of the truth; some have got it, but unfortunately they are few...
if some with disorders or other functions unconsciously killed a person, if we do not move that man out the society, the next victim would be one of us.
Yes and those places exist.
Great talk. So much truth in everything she said.
I am really excited for this to finally be a topic
Great job
Thank you for your advice on this

Why do abortion occur daily? Yet all the prisoners deserve to live and should receive sympathy??
Christians be like: support our troops who go overseas to kill innocent civilians who happen to live on large oil deposits, but also, life is valuable and abortion is a sin 😤😤😤
Christians be like: Today I will invest all of my energy in the treatment of unborn fetuses rather than trying to put a stop to the continued genocide against indigenous people at the hands of christian colonizer countries (i.e. there are over 50 native reservations without access to clean drinking water in Canada alone, but actually unborn babies are more worth your time and energy)
I think the same way she does, I started to believe maybe I was wrong or crazy because some people view it that way. To simplify my comment, the government is not doing its job when it comes to rehabilitating offenders. Mind you, the only people who benefit from incarcerating people is the private prisons owners.
