The way American society treats convicts and ex-convicts is baffling to me. It's as if rehabilitation is not even a pretense anymore.
Innocent until proven guilty. Never innocent once proven guilty.
The plea bargain system in the US pretty much guarantees a fair amount of convicted people aren't guilty of anything other than making a very tough risk management decision.
I didn't talk about innocence. I am talking about human dignity and rehabilitation.
We are talking about current prisoners, not ex-convicts. Prisoners are generally not allowed to access social media outside the US, either. Are you saying that they should be, because it would help with their rehabilitation?
Then they ought to make people agree to a background check before signing up for an account.
They seem to be fine with convicted rapists browsing Facebook as long as those convicted rapists have release papers.
So much the more incentive to not get caught next time.
I don't think we should be relying on Facebook to incentivize people to not rape.
