WAIT. Do you know why de-incarceration is a program? Do you have any idea?

It’s because the evidence says overwhelmingly that incarceration is a substandard way to induce behavior change, and that removing people from incarceration and providing them with supportive skills training has a much, much higher rate of reducing recidivism and decreasing violence.

The evidence does not overwhelmingly say that. Empathy-biased thinking says that.
