Is Prison Time a Bad Thing?

As a christian, i think it's unbelievably important but we also can't engage in a kind of false mercy which refuses to punish crime. If there are no criminal punishments for for crimes, of course people can be more likely to commit crimes than yoto have more innocent victims who are harmed. In the right, we abolish prisons and prison sentences, and we abolish the a t f and all gun lesson. There you go. Problem solved. No deal.
