‘i saved your life’ 'you are literally responsible for so many deaths that u command a corpse army’

i think my fav thing about this whole situation is tom’s complete inability to understand why no one is getting onto their knees in gratitude before him

<3 literally first time i ever had to make a deal with AO3’s character limit on comments

i didn’t even realize that existed until i was trying to cram all of my commentary in there

i didn’t even get to mention the part where i was reading it on my e-reader (thank you ao3 download function) while walking around campus and almost got hit by some twat bicyclist

thank you friend!!! 💕💕

coming back to this later… lots to say, so little time… but, basically, there are competing frameworks about how the prison should even be conceptualized, and the ‘prison as a crime deterrent’ isn’t the objective of many penal systems. for example, the objective in the US, since about the 1970s, has been explicitly to punish deviant persons. And this isn’t just dumb policy, not entirely. People profit from prisons. Corrections/law enforcement is between the 1st and 3rd largest employer

in the US, depending on different estimates. And then you tack on private prison expansion, county funding schemes, judge incentives to uncarcerate, and well. (hm not to mention the way politicians benefit symbolically from being considered tough on crime)

i’ve been vaguely aware of the profit-motive in the US prison system and i think the contrast between norway and the US especially must be very stark

well it does switch around a bit

in the first chapters of GoF, HBP, and DH

(oh wait and PS what am i saying)
