History of Punishment

3/24/15

Although present justice systems depend on punishment, do you think a restorative justice system--in which the criminals are healed of their ills, educated, and uplifted as to their outlooks on life--might work better for our societies?

I think it would work in some cases dealing with alcohol, drugs, and theft. However, I don't think it would work in cases of violent crimes or sex offender cases.

I do believe rehabilitation needs to occur in the prison system to help them become better citizens when they are released. I've seen too many times when people are released from prison they tend to go back to their old life because of lack of resources to help them.

I don't claim to know all the answers or have any solutions, but the system needs to change.

Why do you think history unfolded differently on the different continents?

I think it's the time periods in which the continents started. Some places began in ancient times, therefore, their beginnings were quite primitive. While others like North America didn't begin until later, when civilization was more advanced.

I'm watching a show called Housewives of Beverly Hills as I type this. Do any of y'all watch any of the housewives shows? I love them all! I also watch a show called Southern Charm. I'm really becoming addicted to Bravo. I've also started watching a new show on the E network called The Royals. That's a pretty neat show too!

I've got to go now. I have loads to do.
