Wait I’m confused, why are we not harming the slave drivers and also slaves drivers but they call it a prison now?
Like even if you think violence is inherently bad, the damage they do to a functional society deems their removal from said society as essential for the society to continue functioning, no? I could understand wanting to rehabilitate a child molestor, but should it not be possible they still need to be removed from society, correct?
I can’t grammatically parse your first sentence, so maybe this isn’t answering your question.
A child molestor doesn’t need to be removed from society, children deserve to be safe from them. Housing child molestors in a child-free commune with that commune’s consent could be all you need to do in many cases. In general, communities can voluntarily take on the collective responsibility of helping people arrange their lives so they can do as much as possible without harming others, and helping them get better at not harming others. Whether that’s “criminal” like child molestation, “psychological” like psychotic episodes, “medical” like infectious diseases, or “social” like sexism.
Society is rife with people willing to help others do as much as possible safely, from nurses to insurance agents. For the same effort it takes to imprison someone, you can do so much more that actually helps.
