i don’t get why people wouldn’t want this guy to have a job. like yes he’s obviously a bad guy. but if he’s not in jail AND he’s unemployed, that seems worse for him and society? inquirer.com/politics/philad…

We can’t say we love our young people when you chose prison over community, being punitive over restorative, abuse over accountability and death over life. Take referrals because we love them and they are the future!
