I’m curious what farcasters think about this. Even 2 years seems like it has a high chance of turning people into career criminals given how easy it is to lose touch with non-criminal friends. https://frame.weponder.io/api/polls/28430

Would this also rule out increasing the duration of sentences for repeat offenses? E.g., somebody burglarizing homes (a nonviolent offense) repeatedly, with <3 year sentences in between? Or are you suggesting it for first offenders only. This is an area where I feel that data-driven policymaking would benefit, because I vaguely remember stats about a strong Pareto distribution of even nonviolent crime (most offenses being committed by few repeat criminals). A short and flat sentence would give them more opportunities to reoffend, with the opportunity cost to society being more victims

Def more data-driven. In general it just seems like most prison sentences are based on retribution rather than rehabilitation.

I think they are based on deterrence.
