you want all thieves to be in prison.....indefinitely?
sorry, but that would violate the 8th Amendment.
I'm sorry, but I cannot seem to keep up with the goalposts as fast as you are moving them.
What you previously said was “…repeat drug dealers, thieves, and rapists…”, implying persistent, repeat criminals of a sort who can be expected to pose an ongoing danger to society.
It seems that your solution to such is to deny them one right, which may or may not even be relevant to the crimes that they persist in committing.
I say that if they persist in committing crimes, to the extent that they must be considered an ongoing danger to society, then the only solution is to permanently remove them from society.
Of course, by now moving that goalpost to “all thieves”, you're now trying to paint me as some evil mean person who wants to lock a kid up in jail for life for shoplifting a candy bar.
