      Preach. Harsh penalties with no rehabilitation and an uncaring system with no safety net?

      If you can’t get a job and can’t eat without a job, who wouldn’t do crime?

        And in so doing, they have a criminal record that makes it harder to get jobs, leading to a vicious cycle where they’re not employed due to a criminal record/recent imprisonment, and are forced to steal to survive, leading to another criminal record, etc.
