What, we are going to harm some guy in jail?

Dude, please don't do that in prison.

Who do we send to jail?

Jail's not for dudes like that.

This is crazy, especially in California, where jails are completely overpopulated (the jail currently holding Hans Reiser is designed for ~1700 people and currently has ~3400).

Agree with ujjwalg - sending someone to jail for that is crazy.

The point of jail is to physically stop someone from hurting other people. As in with fists or knives or guns. It's to stop violence. It is not to redress perceived economic or copyright infringements.

Are they serious?! You're going to take a human being, a fellow countryman (and a technically skilled one!) and actually forcibly confine him to a cage, because he circumvented the copy protection on a video game?!

What kind of crazy society is this, anyway. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

Many jails house people who have broken no law, or who will subsequently be acquitted.

Or, in your eyes, "collateral damage"...

Do jails kill people? No. Jail is a tool. People kill people.

But jail is the wrong way to help.

What are you trying to say? Break the law, go to jail.

Jail seems a little extreme, the punishment doesn't fit the crime here.

georgehaake | karma 69 | avg karma 1.0 · | 2011-09-02 12:27:15+00:00

Put people in jail.

matz1 | karma -22 | avg karma -0.01 · | 2020-06-06 18:39:26

I definitely don't agree with jail. Unless there is real damage, then I wouldn't consider it an issue.

Arnt | karma 6341 | avg karma 1.66 · | 2018-08-07 10:16:46+00:00

Right.

Put crudely: Put someone in jail and he's not going to be around to rob anyone. But he's also not going to be around to talk sense into his kid brother.

"Pretend to be emotionally hurt"

If we were just talking about mere offense and hurt feelings (which are still serious), I wouldn't be talking about jail time.

Can we please put people in jail for stuff like this? Please? Just once?

Incarceration is dangerous
