The logic is clear, the arguments are strong, and the whole notion - TopicsExpress

The logic is clear, the arguments are strong, and the whole notion completely misses the point. American prisons exist in large part to provide vengeance and express sadism, just like the Bible done told us. Our social policies toward transgressors are based on revenge and the desire to hurt. Effective threat reduction, rehabilitation, and sane economics are relegated to academic treatises, fantasy utopias, and the blogs of hipster white boys. What we want in practice is dungeons and torture, and TV shows celebrating it. Americans are more than willing to shoot ourselves in the foot, provided we can imagine that foot is on someone elses face: consider what weve done to ourselves in the wake of 9/11. We imprison enormously more of our populace than any other developed nation so that politicians can pontificate about the safety of our children and our right to own guns, we can smirk at jokes about male/male rape, and everyone can enjoy the delicious, sadistic, semiconscious, self-destructive thrill of it all.
