I recognize there is a massive anti incarnation argument (in the US). I agree with many of the points and reasons I’ve heard. That said, murderers, child molesters etcetera are still gonna exist to some degree no matter what. So, without incarnation, what are some options?

    Some people absolutely are born fucked up, but way, way more people are just born into fucked up situations and neglected until they explode.

    "Simply put, the better alternative to prison is to create and put people in social environments that don’t tolerate crime in the first place. " what does that look like in practice, if not prison/execution.

    It looks like early social intervention that helps people succeed without breaking the law. The reason American society is this fucked up is the fallacy that everyone is responsible for themselves. Absolutely none of the rich would be rich without extensive support given to them in every aspect of their lives.

      Not to mention enough money to buy judges, and other privilege. Brock Turner.
