Congress is moving with bipartisan consensus towards ending a ban on felons with drug-related convictions receiving food stamps – a policy seen by ex-offenders and their advocates as an obstacle to reentering society.

No idea, but it’s not a left or right thing - IMO. I’ve noticed a trend where it’s “restorative justice for those in my tribe, but retributive justice for those in that tribe”. It’s really challenging for people to feel that everyone deserves restorative justice - often due to their own traumas. It makes me wonder how in the heck the Nordic countries managed to even get to their current prison system. Like, how do you get society to trust your reforming institutions that much?
sigh we can dream, right?
