Lesson 11: Should there be lifelong or permanent punishments?Evaluating the argument
Should There Be Lifelong or Permanent Punishments?
Evaluate and discuss the argument presented in this video.
Consider the following opinions regarding the collateral consequences of incarceration faced by released offenders:
- People who engage in criminal activity undermine their moral worth and deserve to face collateral consequences even after being released from prison.
- It’s unfortunate that offenders face collateral consequences, and we should try to limit their impact; but given that the return of offenders into society creates risks and burdens, it’s only fair that these burdens fall on the offenders themselves rather than on law-abiding citizens.
- Collateral consequences are barriers to successful reintegration and a leading cause of social problems that affect the offenders, their families, and their communities. For the good of society, we must eliminate collateral consequences.
- Offenders who have finished serving their official prison sentence have fully paid their debt to society and deserve to be returned to full moral status—and this includes not subjecting them to collateral consequences.
Now, take some time - by yourself or with others - to reflect openly yet critically on this issue. Where do you stand, and why?
