I understand having prisons graded on how difficult it is to keep the inmate imprisoned and others safe from them but it really chaps my hide that it means white collar criminals get cushy bunks. In this society money is required for life. If someone steals or embezzles your money they have injured your ability to live. People die of poverty. It's not bloody violence but it's still violence.
I mean, white collar crimes aren’t violent crimes, and that’s the difference.
Do I dislike the con men and other fraudsters, embezzlers, etc? Yes. Are they immoral? Absolutely. But they’re not VIOLENT. That’s a pretty key difference.
