Different people respond to different things. But I do think the US system is a bit too punitive. A lot of states have stuff like free community college for those who want it. But guess what? they still have a lot of car radios and catalytic converters being stolen.


A bit? It has a higher incarceration rate than North Korea.


Sure, but they also have a pretty repressive regime where you might get executed for watching the wrong tv show.

Ok. Compared to developed countries, it has a waaay higher incarceration rate.
