What I wonder about is how long would it take the modern right wingers to embrace mass forced labor for people in distress?

Yea in this case it would only make things bad. But maybe murderers and rapists deserve to be locked away.

Some people need to be kept away from others for their safety yeah, but a high security medical facility is a better place for them.

Can I have some sources? I believe what you just said but the studies might actually say something slightly different.

Source is a college course from 20 years ago 😭 so I don’t recall specifics, but the idea is that prisons don’t so much as reduce crime as contain it, or shift it around.
