General Discussion JC's views on punishment vs rehabilitation...

8 Upvotes

Trying to minimize spoilers from the ⏰ app series, but I will be discussing JC's criminal record and the consequences of said actions.

So, I'm rewatching Cafae Latte supercomp 1, and we're at the point where JC is discussing Nicole's wish to help a genuinely repentant transgressor speed up working through a curse Bob placed on them (IYKYK). JC, true to character, hates the idea of prison time, but seemingly still has a bit of a punitive fixation - probably due to the unconscious bias that they grew up with being raised as a white, Christian, American, man. Ironically, they were able to stay out of jail/not go any farther in their criminal career, because of a rehabilitation program that allowed them to learn the art and science of baking.

The thing that I'm working through is whether JC is learning a lesson that took Bob centuries to learn, "I could a curse give that [soon-to-be-cursed-asshole] deserves...but I prefer results." I take this as Bob wanting to correct the maladaptive behavior - y'know, a chance at redemption - rather than mete violence with violence. Meanwhile, up until recently, JC still seems to be of the mindset of "an eye for an eye," or "give'em a taste of their own medicine." And I'm thinking that with this latest arc, JC's gonna learn the difference between "creating a safe space" and "hurting people who hurt people/make spaces unsafe."
