Biden orders Justice Dept. to end use of private prisons

Private prisons incentivise recidivism instead of rehabilitation so this will be a good thing for downtrodden men who end up stuck in the "system".

The article of course talks about racial equality being one of the main goals, but as a side effect I think this will also be good for men since incarceration and police violence are also men's issues.

I know there's still a debate about whether or not Biden and his woke administration will ultimately be harmful to men, but I'll take what we can get. This one policy change could have very large effects down the road for men and boys. Especially if it means that more fathers will be in their children's lives. Which happens to be a really big predictor of criminality to begin with (children who grow up without their fathers are more likely to resort to crime later in life).

In order to address men's issues we need to do it under the guise of addressing racism.

A step forward, but that was a long article about something that affects men 90+% without mentioning sexism or men, but a lot about race. What does it take to address a clearly sexist issue targeting men head on and just say it's sexist and unfair to men?

I didn't say ignore race, class, and other parts, but just to mention the sexism?

Ok, so firstly, Biden, shut up on the race pandering bullshit, but second, the core concept of ending the private prison industry is great and a hugely important step in reorganizing incentives to encourage genuine rehabilitation, so well done!

I guess 8% of prisoners will have to be raped in public prison.

You ever think about how not a single politician in the country feels the need to take a stand against rape-as-effective-policy as it exists in the prison industry? I'm not saying 'Oh good, this is a start' to a bunch of fucking rapists.

Same with 'racial discrimination' for housing, which is already illegal, but the actual crisis is created by markets and income discrimination by credit bureaus.

Democrats pass laws that fix non-problems to get you to clap and cheer and forget that VAWA, written by Joe Biden, is a hate crime against all Men.

It's hard for me to feel happy about this. Yeah, It's probably a move in the right direction but now we go back to state funded prisons we can also be underfunded depending on the state's budgets.

This feels like putting a band aid on a chainsaw wound. We need to stop putting men in prison at such a high rate period. A better quality of life for the men already incarcarated is fantastic and I support that but our ultimate goal should be less men in prison then anything else.

Only makes up a small portion of private prisons, and doesn't even account for other private industry with bad effect in the prison system. A small bit of progress though.

I mean often higher imprisonment rates also boil down to higher crime rates. The reason for people committing crime can often be rooted in those very discriminatory problems though and in terms of imprisonment of innocent people to keep those prisons profitable, the racism and misandry becomes pretty clear when looking at the proportions.
