Question by Raziel_Glossolalia: Why Wont So Called Christians Release Repentant Criminals? ?
Why Wont So Called Christians Release Repentant Criminals?

Concerning Matthew 18:25-35

Please read and pay attention to whole detail of outline so you won’t give a stupid response. Their are practical forms of legislation and social reasoning that can confirm the logos behind what you may deem in prejudice ridiculous Please Don’t resort to stupid insults and slander either

Think of it this way can you say that when you’re spiritual you refuse those seeking mercy and charity and condemn those who ask for it to hell. Can you say when you’re feeling nostalgic that incarceration prevents crime and repeat offenses? Recidivism rates would argue against your flawed logic. Can you state that change of behavior and rehabilitation comes from external means or is it an internal development? That being said why would anyone believe in changing their behavior when they have no reason to and while they dislike prison it really fairs little punishment but to those few who are preyed on and many of them are divided from population(Some however are not and receive unfair cruel and unusual punishment). So why should anyone want to change or believe in god when we ourselves show hypocrisy in our hearts and actions how then can such individuals make internal changes needed for true rehabilitation that without released into society after incarcerated actually makes the public more a danger from the inmate who has become psychologically warped from the lifestyle of incarceration and given little helpful tools but to network and make more contacts creating a more intelligent and dangerous criminal

Now for legislative logos statistics show increased cost of funding in criminal justice and punishment has in no way reduced crime in fact just the opposite we are seeing a trend of increase 5 times the average we are also seeing a dramatic increase in cost and prison over crowding while sociology experiments are showing that merciful acts in state show a dramatic reduction in crime such examples were taken during the Vietnam war and drug rehab center legislation prior to mandatory minimum sentence concluding it just feels good and costs a lot in fact white color crimes are said to be more expensive to jail then a hospital bill and drug offenders on average are more expensive to jail then rehab programs Yes put away violent offenders but their are alternative punishments to non violent offenders or at least reduced sentencing The real question we should be asking ourselves is what is the correlation between incarceration and crime rates experts say their is none that incarceration does not equal change in behavior so for all our incarceration are we really safer experts say no Can we draw out a public safety plan that is fiscally sane remember your flipping the bill for these people The answer is yes many bills offering programs without sentence or reduced sentence are offered part of religious rehabilitation program even with violent offenders in church services and anger management but because of republicans and conservative Christians this bill has been shot down Also we must come to the moral realization that prison is in no way fair punishment I mean that the punishment is not equal to all inmates and that constitutes a moral ethic of unequal punishment both in Case judgment and sentencing and prison accommodationas as well for a select minority cruel and unusual Prison does not fair equal to all people You have leaders soldiers fish etc not preventing such action of prison gangs running prisons is unconstitutional under the eight, ninth and tenth amendments in the bill of rights I think corporal punishment if agreed upon should be administered by government not by underground seedy organizations like prison gangs that are obviously cruel and unusual in addition safety regulation has occurred for prison inmates increasing Co Officers and was effective in Texas but the law was later removed by you guessed it Conservative Christian republicans

Quote: To repeat same activity expecting different result is insanity. Do we not do that with the aspect of incarceration seeing only increase in prison populations?

Note:
The Separation of church and state is just a clause How Is Church and State Divided?

Ok I know The U.S Constitution right; the first Amendment Congress shall pass no law that is in favor of any religion. but isn’t American economics founded on the protestant ethos and don’t we have to swear oaths in courts Don’t we say god in the pledge of allegiance does it not say in god we trust on our printed money Don’t we pass state laws favorable to monotheism like abortion and bans on gay marriage like prop 8 politically hiding it’s involvement as to make lies successful like saying it’s about the definition of marriage which it was not It was about civil liberty in making a amendment to the state Constitution because a law regarding same sex marriage was over tuned in four case precedents from judges in N

Question by Puddy: Question about Inpatient Alcohol/Drug Rehab Places:?
I was at one for a month last year… and it did me a WORLD of good!

Even though I did not like the constant groups which I found boring, I DID appreciate the constant medical care and meds monitoring I got there, and the care actually helped to (miraculously for me!) END my nearly 20 year batle w/ the bottle; (HALLELUJAH!)

My question is : Was the rehab unit or freestanding a locked setting? Mine was, but I wonder if it was just the one I went to or are they all or most of them “closed settings”?

And even though I was relatively well treated by the staff and all the others signed in voluntarily, so what’s w/ the locks as if if it were a psych unit or jail?

Best answer:

Answer by Narconon
Not all rehab places are equal. A locked unit is not necessary at all if it is for voluntarily committed addicts and the addiction center has a proper technology on how to handle each case that comes in.

Apparently you went to a place that gives you meds–and, by the way, most do. This kind of “rehab” has its own medical requirements to operate, like insurance, etc. This makes them wary of accidents or incidents and makes them take extreme measures, like the lock-down. Unfortunately this facilities operate more like a psych unit or jail.

I’m glad this worked for you but I’m afraid that there is an option in which they won’t give you meds, they won’t lock you up, there are no “groups” nor psychs to evaluate for you, folks move through the drug or alcohol abuse rehab program at their own pace and are referred to as students, not patients. Also, they won’t substitute one drug for another, etc., etc. This is the Narconon program.

Narconon is the most effective rehab–by far, I know as I was an addict for nearly 20 years too and went through several rehabs until I found the one that handled ALL my specific problems. And not only handled all my “reasons” and problems but it handled some I did not know I had until I discovered them by myself with their amazing courses and practicals. For example I handled my honesty, my integrity and my communication and as if this was not enough this little courses and practicals gave me the ability to confront life and situations with confidence.

There is not one day that I do not use the life skills learned there to help myself or help others. Today I have been drug and alcohol free for over 15 years and I’m very successful at what I do and love, art. Also, I made a point of helping others and when I’m not writing or helping someone with their addiction I’m also volunteering in another non-profit organization. This is my way to thank Narconon for their invaluable help.

When you have a chance visit their website and/or pass this info to someone who might need help with their addictions. The Narconon program is delivered around the world by many organizations and it is the most highly regarded drug rehabilitation due to its effectiveness. Oh, and I forgot to mention their detox is the best in the world too. Not only it handled my cravings but my eyesight improved and I felt so fresh and full of energy when I finished it.
