Sip Salon - Can We Do Better Than Prison?
What is prison actually supposed to accomplish?
Welcome to the Sip Salon where we gather to learn together through articles and discussion. Read the article, join the discussion. Just curious folks coming together to discuss topics. Whether you know a little or a lot, we hope to grow together in our understandings. With drinks.
Is it meant to punish, protect society, deter future crime, rehabilitate offenders or some combination of all four? As incarceration rates, recidivism, and correctional costs continue to fuel debate, many people are asking whether our current prison system still serves the goals it was designed to achieve. At this month's Sip Salon, we'll explore the history and purpose of prisons, examine what the research says about incarceration and rehabilitation, and discuss alternatives such as restorative justice, diversion programs, and community-based sentencing. Together we'll tackle difficult questions with curiosity rather than certainty: What do we owe victims? What do we owe offenders? And what kind of justice best serves society?
