Imprisonment Should Only Be for Violent Crimes Controversial Cast

    • Society & Culture

What is the purpose of prison? We aren't being cheeky, because this question is a large basis for our discussion this episode. Is prison just used as a punishment, or is it to protect good, law-abiding citizens from being hurt by criminals? Is it both? Regardless of the answer, should we be looking to tailor punishments to the crime instead of using prison as a catch-all for all crimes? Join the Controcast as we explore this maze of morality in crime and punishment.
