Baltimore police are scrambling to find an “extremely dangerous” man suspected of murdering 26-year-old tech CEO Pava LaPere, who was found dead in an apartment building on Monday.
The suspect, 32-year-old Jason Dean Billingsley, should be considered armed and dangerous as he is wanted on charges of first-degree murder, assault and other offenses, acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Tuesday.
LaPere, co-founder of the small startup EcoMap Technologies, was reported missing Monday morning, police said. Hours later, police were called to a downtown apartment building, where LaPere was discovered with signs of blunt-force trauma to her head, Worley said.
Serving 30 years, released after 7…
With all the bleeding-hearts on Lemmy who think we should be coddling criminals, I’m not shocked he was released after serving just 1/4 of his sentence. Clearly he was rehabilitated!1!!! Oh wait. No he wasn’t.
This just in: US prisons aren’t interested in rehabilitating the people held in them.
Maybe you should research criminal justice in other countries and how they avoid the same recidivism rates as we have before spouting dumb fucking boot licking garbage like this.
This just in: prisoners aren’t interested in being rehabilitated.
The main goal of prisons is to protect society from criminals by removing them and deterring others from committing crimes through fear of punishment.
It’s almost like the US prison system isn’t meant to rehabilitate and instead is meant to control the lower class and imprison the ‘right’ people.
Right that sucks but is also the reason we shouldn’t be letting them out.
The idea that imprisonment is for rehabilitation is fucking stupid and new.
Prison may rehabilitate some people, and those people should have the means to seek that rehabilitation if they want to.

I swear, some people just say dumb shit to see if it catches on. Unfortunately, ‘prisons are for rehab’ is just as stupid as calling people latinx.
I think it’d be hilarious if some right-wing troll just floated the idea to see how many fools would pick up on it.
That has more to do with the US justice system being focused on punishment than rehabilitation. You have to release people at some point, and when you do you want criminals to be better people.
Also this guy having received a 40 years punishment sounds like he had some weed on him, perhaps? Prison times in the US can be insanely high for relatively small offenses
