this did not make sense
how are you comparing feudal china to modern democratic america
It's not a comparison, I'm using the Socratic method to make you think. Also America is so democratic as you think, it's more of a republic. Speaking of which, for nation that likes to persecute people for genocide and violence, it sure has committed quite a few violent acts and genocides.
That whole prison reform thing in the US is just putting someone in a cage and locking them away for a set amount of time. Then when they get out they just commit more crimes and get sent back in. Also did you know in places like Pelican Bay their are gang leaders able to communicate with their mobs and lead them from inside a silent cell? I can tell you how this is done, but I might ruin your guy's appetite.
Also In my opinion this guy should be in a cell for the rest of his life.
